What is the Datos.gob.es (Catálogo Nacional) MCP Server?
Connect to the official Datos.gob.es API to explore Spain's vast repository of public sector information. This MCP server allows AI agents to query, filter, and analyze thousands of datasets from national, regional, and local administrations.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — Search for specific datasets by title or browse the entire catalog with advanced pagination and sorting.
- Advanced Filtering — Narrow down results by publisher ID, specific themes (e.g., health, economy), or file formats like CSV, JSON, and RDF.
- Geographic Analysis — Filter data by spatial scope, including provinces, regions, or specific administrative levels.
- Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed metadata for any dataset, including its distributions, update frequency, and issuing body.
- Public Sector Mapping — List and inspect public sector organizations, provinces, and regions involved in the open data ecosystem.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- The server connects to the public Datos.gob.es API
- Start querying Spanish public data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts — quickly find and inspect public datasets for research and reporting without manual browsing.
- Developers — identify API endpoints and data formats for integration into applications.
- Policy Researchers — track public sector transparency and data availability across different Spanish regions.

Frequently asked questions
How can I search for datasets containing a specific word in the title?
Use the search_datasets_by_title tool. Provide the string you are looking for in the title parameter, and the agent will return all matching datasets from the national catalog.
Is it possible to filter datasets by a specific file format like CSV or JSON?
Yes! Use the list_datasets_by_format tool and specify the format (e.g., 'csv', 'json', 'xlsx'). This will retrieve only the datasets that offer distributions in that format.
Can I find datasets belonging to a specific category like 'Health' or 'Environment'?
Absolutely. Use the list_datasets_by_theme tool with the corresponding theme ID. You can first use list_themes to see all available categories in the catalog.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
