How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

You subscribe to the MCP through Vinkius and then connect your client, such as Claude or Cursor, with a single click. Vinkius hosts the connection for you.

Do I need an API key for the Minas Gerais portal?

It is optional. You can use the MCP without one, but entering your own API key allows for higher rate limits.

What kind of files can I find in the datasets?

The portal contains various file types, including CSV, PDF, and XLS files.

Can I search for data by specific government departments?

Yes. You can use the capabilities to list organizations or get specific details for a single department.

Is this MCP compatible with Cursor or VS Code?

Yes, this MCP works with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

How can I find datasets related to a specific topic like 'health'?

You can use the search_packages capability with the query 'saude' or use get_group with the ID 'saude' to list all datasets categorized under that theme.

Can I see the actual download links for the data files?

Yes. By using get_package with a dataset ID, the AI will retrieve the metadata for all associated resources, which typically includes the URL, format (CSV, PDF), and description of each file.

How do I list all government agencies that publish data on the portal?

Use the list_organizations capability. It will return a list of all government bodies (like CGE, SEF, etc.) that have active datasets in the Minas Gerais portal.

Waiting for input…

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.

Automate a task

Put Minas Gerais Open Data to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Minas Gerais Open Data works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Minas Gerais Open Data to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
