# datagouv-mcp — data.gouv.fr MCP Server

> datagouv-mcp lets chatbots search/analyze datasets from data.gouv.fr via MCP; verified 1,451★ and offers a public endpoint plus Claude Code setup.

## Install

Merge the JSON below into your `.mcp.json`:

## Quick Use

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http datagouv https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp
# Then ask for dataset search/exploration inside Claude Code with the datagouv tools.
```

## Intro

datagouv-mcp lets chatbots search/analyze datasets from data.gouv.fr via MCP; verified 1,451★ and offers a public endpoint plus Claude Code setup.

**Best for:** Analysts and builders who want dataset discovery inside agent chats without manual browsing

**Works with:** MCP clients; hosted endpoint `https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp` per README; optional self-host via Docker Compose

**Setup time:** 3-10 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub: 1451 stars · 120 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
- License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
- README-backed entrypoint: `claude mcp add --transport http datagouv https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp`.

## Main

- Use the hosted endpoint first to validate behavior; self-host only when you need isolation or customization.

- Adopt a tight loop: search datasets, inspect metadata, then fetch resources only when needed to keep tool calls efficient.

- Version-control client configs (where appropriate) so teams can reproduce the same MCP wiring across machines.

### Source-backed notes

- README describes an MCP server that lets chatbots search/explore/analyze datasets from data.gouv.fr through conversation.
- README states a public instance is available at `https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp` with no access restrictions.
- README includes a Claude Code command: `claude mcp add --transport http datagouv https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp`.

### FAQ

- **Do I need an API key?**: For the hosted endpoint, README states it’s publicly available without access restrictions.
- **Can I self-host?**: Yes — README includes Docker Compose instructions for running your own instance.
- **Which client should I start with?**: Start with Claude Code (command above) or any MCP client you already run.

## Intro

datagouv-mcp 让聊天机器人通过 MCP 搜索/分析 data.gouv.fr 数据集；已验证 1,451★，提供公共 endpoint，并包含 Claude Code 配置示例。

**Best for:** 希望在 agent 对话里完成数据集检索、减少手动浏览的分析/开发者

**Works with:** MCP 客户端；README 提供托管 endpoint `https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp`；也可用 Docker Compose 自托管

**Setup time:** 3-10 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub：1451 stars · 120 forks；最近更新 2026-05-13。
- 许可证：MIT；作者头像与仓库链接均已通过 GitHub API 复核。
- README 中可对照的入口命令：`claude mcp add --transport http datagouv https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp`。

## Main

- 先用托管 endpoint 验证工具行为；只有需要隔离/自定义时再自托管。

- 使用紧凑闭环：先搜数据集，再看元数据，必要时再拉取资源，控制工具调用成本。

- 把客户端配置（适合公开的部分）纳入版本控制，便于团队复现接线方式。

### Source-backed notes

- README 说明该 MCP server 可让聊天机器人在对话中直接搜索/浏览/分析 data.gouv.fr 数据集。
- README 表示提供公共实例：`https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp`（无访问限制）。
- README 包含 Claude Code 命令：`claude mcp add --transport http datagouv https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp`。

### FAQ

- **需要 API key 吗？**：针对托管 endpoint，README 说明公共实例无访问限制。
- **能自托管吗？**：可以。README 提供 Docker Compose 指引以运行自建实例。
- **先从哪个客户端开始？**：可以先用 Claude Code（上面的命令），或你已在用的任意 MCP 客户端。
