How do I get higher rate limits?

You can enter your own Socrata App Token in the configuration to increase your access limits.

What kind of data is available?

You can access thousands of public datasets from the Government of Catalonia covering health, transport, economy, and more.

Do I need to know SoQL to use this?

No, your AI agent handles the SoQL syntax. You just describe what you want to find or filter in plain English.

Which AI clients can I use?

This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I filter specific columns?

Yes, the query_dataset capability supports the $select parameter to pick only the columns you need.

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

Use the search_catalog capability 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 capability.

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.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.
