What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: No datasets bundled; the server is a framework for registering custom data tools via Python plugins · Tool results carry structuredContent fields: sources, table, charts (in development), force
Formats docs-verified: MCP stdio · MCP streamable HTTP
Access docs-verified: Local install from source via uv (git+https://github.com/okfn/mcp-server); no authentication described; licence not stated in ENTRY or DOCS

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Prototype a traceable Q&A tool over a client's open dataset by wrapping it in a custom plugin, with source links returned in structuredContent · Expose tabular results (e.g. monitoring or survey extracts) to a chat client with a table field and cited sources · Build an internal MCP plugin that answers desk-study data questions with traceable sources
Audience llm-inferred: Python developers writing MCP plugins · Data or platform admins deploying the server · Hydrologists and GIS analysts consuming tool outputs through an MCP client

Limitations

Constraints docs-verified: Early research phase; breaking changes expected · ValidationModel/DataToolOutput schema still in development; changes expected · Tools without a -> DataToolOutput return annotation are skipped at startup · Charts field is in development · DOCS do not describe CKAN integration, although the ENTRY description refers to CKAN · No UK-specific data or coverage documented; ENTRY regions say Global · No licence stated
