Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the IBAMA Dados Abertos MCP Server?
Connect to the IBAMA Open Data Portal (CKAN) to explore and analyze critical environmental information from Brazil. This server allows any AI agent to navigate through thousands of public records regarding environmental licensing, federal technical registries, and inspection activities.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — Search and list datasets related to deforestation, wildlife, flora, and environmental fines using keywords or thematic groups.
- Metadata Inspection — Fetch detailed metadata for specific datasets and resources to understand data provenance and update frequency.
- Direct Data Querying — Use the DataStore integration to query CSV and tabular data directly using filters and SQL-like parameters without downloading large files.
- Organizational Mapping — Explore the structure of IBAMA departments and the specific data they publish.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Provide your IBAMA/CKAN API Key for higher rate limits
- Start querying environmental data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Environmental Researchers — quickly find and filter datasets for academic or scientific studies.
- Data Journalists — extract specific records about environmental infractions or licensing status for reporting.
- Policy Analysts — monitor public data updates to track environmental enforcement trends in Brazil.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings IBAMA Dados Abertos data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 9 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
How can I search for datasets related to a specific topic like 'deforestation'?
You can use the search_datasets tool with the query parameter 'q'. For example, searching for 'desmatamento' will return all relevant datasets indexed in the IBAMA portal.
Is it possible to read the content of a CSV file without downloading it?
Yes! If the resource is integrated into the DataStore, you can use the datastore_search tool with the resource_id to query rows, apply filters, and perform full-text searches directly.
How do I find which datasets are published by a specific IBAMA department?
Use the list_organizations tool to see all departments, then use show_organization with the department ID to list all datasets associated with that specific entity.
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.
