What is the Campinas Open Data MCP Server?
Connect to the Campinas Open Data Portal (CKAN) and explore a wealth of public information from one of Brazil's major cities through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — Search for specific packages related to health, education, finance, or transport using keywords.
- Metadata Inspection — Retrieve full metadata for datasets and individual resources (files) to understand data structures.
- Organizational Mapping — List all city departments and organizations that provide public data.
- Thematic Exploration — Browse data by groups (e.g., 'Saúde', 'Educação') or tags to find relevant information quickly.
- Resource Access — Get direct links and metadata for CSVs, PDFs, and APIs hosted on the portal.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How can I search for datasets related to a specific topic like 'Health'?
You can use the search_packages tool with a query string. For example, searching for 'saude' will return all datasets categorized under health in the Campinas portal.
Can I see which city departments are publishing data?
Yes! Use the list_organizations tool to get a complete list of all city departments and entities that contribute to the Open Data Portal.
How do I get the download link for a specific data file?
Use the get_resource tool with the specific Resource ID. It will return the metadata, including the URL to download the file (CSV, PDF, etc.).
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
