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.

FAQ

Questions data.europa.eu — Publications Office of the EU owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need an API key to use this MCP?

    No. This MCP provides access to the data.europa.eu portal without requiring any registration or API keys.

  • 02

    What are High-Value Datasets?

    These are specific data categories, such as geospatial or statistical data, that EU regulation requires member states to make free and machine-readable via APIs.

  • 03

    Can I find data from specific European countries?

    Yes. You can search all open datasets from 36 different European countries using country-specific capabilities.

  • 04

    Will the data be in a format my AI can use?

    You can use the format filter to specifically request CSV, JSON, XML, or GeoJSON files, which are easy for your agent to parse.

  • 05

    How many datasets are available?

    The portal provides access to over 1.9 million datasets aggregated from various national and thematic sources.

  • 06

    Do I need an API key, and is the data free to reuse?

    No key needed. the portal's search API is fully public. Reuse conditions belong to each dataset: most open data is CC-BY or similar, but licences vary per source, so always check the licence field in get_dataset_details before republishing. High-Value Datasets are guaranteed free and machine-readable by EU regulation.

  • 07

    Why does country/format filtering sometimes return fewer rows than requested?

    The portal's public search API does not expose server-side country/format facets, so those capabilities fetch a larger page and filter client-side; when a page contains few matches, results can be sparse. advance the page or refine keywords. The underlying data is all there; it is a pagination artifact, not missing data.
