- Metadata Inspection — Retrieve full metadata for datasets, including tags, organizations, and update frequencies.
- Resource Management — List and inspect individual files (resources) within a dataset, such as CSVs, JSONs, or PDFs.
- Direct Data Querying — Use the DataStore integration to query the actual content of datasets directly, allowing for data analysis without manual downloads.
- Portal Exploration — List all available dataset identifiers to understand the scope of available regional data.
How it works

Frequently asked questions
How can I find datasets about a specific topic like 'transport'?
Use the search_datasets tool with the query 'transporte'. The agent will return a list of matching datasets with their unique IDs and descriptions from the portal.
Can I see the actual content of a data file without downloading it?
Yes. If the resource is stored in the CKAN DataStore, you can use the search_datastore tool with the Resource ID to query the rows and columns directly.
Is an API key mandatory to use this server?
No, it is optional. However, providing a CKAN_API_KEY allows for higher rate limits and access to restricted datasets if your account has permissions.
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.
