Advanced Querying — Use SoQL (Socrata Query Language) via query_dataset to filter, select specific columns, and sort data from any dataset using its 4x4 identifier.
Data Analysis — Group results and perform full-text searches across entire datasets to extract insights on health, transport, economy, and more.
Pagination & Limits — Efficiently handle large datasets with built-in support for limits and offsets to browse records systematically.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the unique identifier for a specific dataset?

Use the search_catalog tool with a descriptive query. The response will include the 4x4 alphanumeric ID (e.g., 'abcd-1234') which you can then use with the query_dataset tool.

Can I filter data by specific values like a city or a date range?

Yes! When using query_dataset, use the $where parameter to apply SoQL filters. For example, $where: "poblacio > 5000" or $where: "comarca = 'Barcelonès'".

Is a Socrata App Token mandatory to use this server?

No, it is optional. However, providing a DADES_APP_TOKEN allows for higher rate limits and prevents throttling during intensive data exploration.

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.
