Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the São Paulo (Cidade) MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent directly to the São Paulo City Open Data Portal (CKAN). This server allows you to navigate thousands of public datasets covering health, education, transport, and finance in Brazil's largest city.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — Search for specific datasets using keywords or list all available packages in the portal.
- Granular Inspection — Fetch detailed metadata for datasets and individual resources (files) to understand data structures.
- Advanced Data Querying — Perform searches within data stores or execute complex SQL queries directly on CSV-backed resources.
- Organizational Mapping — List and inspect city secretariats (organizations) and thematic groups to find relevant data sources.
- Tag Exploration — Browse datasets by tags to discover related public information across different departments.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Provide your São Paulo Open Data API Key for higher rate limits
- Start querying city data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts & Researchers — quickly find and query public statistics without manual downloads
- Developers — integrate real-time city data into applications using SQL-like queries
- Journalists & Citizens — audit public spending and city performance through natural language conversation

Frequently asked questions
How can I search for datasets related to a specific topic like 'Health'?
You can use the search_packages tool with the query 'saúde'. The agent will return a list of matching datasets available in the portal.
Can I perform SQL queries on the data directly?
Yes! If a resource is stored in the DataStore, you can use the datastore_search_sql tool to run standard SQL queries against the resource ID.
How do I find which city departments have published data?
Use the list_organizations tool to see all registered entities. Then, use get_organization with a specific ID to see all datasets owned by that department.
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.
