What is the Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (CKAN) MCP Server?
Connect to the Ayuntamiento de Barcelona (Open Data BCN) portal and transform public data into actionable insights through natural conversation. This MCP server leverages the CKAN API to provide real-time access to Barcelona's official data repository.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — List all available datasets or search for specific topics like transportation, environment, or demographics using
bcn_package_search. - Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed metadata for specific datasets and resources to understand data structures and update frequencies.
- Deep Data Querying — Use
bcn_datastore_searchto filter records within CSV resources or execute complexbcn_datastore_search_sqlqueries for precise data extraction. - Resource Management — List all resources associated with a dataset, including download links and format specifications.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Open Data BCN API Token (optional for public data, required for higher rate limits)
- Start querying Barcelona's public data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?

Frequently asked questions
Can I perform SQL queries on Barcelona's public datasets?
Yes, you can use the bcn_datastore_search_sql tool to execute SELECT statements directly against any resource that is stored in the portal's datastore.
How do I find datasets related to a specific topic like 'transport'?
Use the bcn_package_search tool with the query parameter q set to your topic. You can also limit the number of results for faster browsing.
Is it possible to see the actual rows of a CSV file without downloading it?
Absolutely. The bcn_datastore_search tool allows you to query and preview the contents of a resource directly, including filtering and sorting options.
How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?
Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.
Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?
Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.
Does the SDK support streaming responses?
Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
