## Description
Delaware Open Data (data.delaware.gov) Socrata MCP.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **datasets** — Search the Delaware Open Data catalog of open datasets by keyword. Returns each dataset's resource_id, name, description, category and update date — pass the resource_id to query/metadata.
- **query** — Run a Socrata SoQL query against a Delaware Open Data dataset by resource_id (e.g. "5zy2-grhr"). Filter with where/select/group/order (SoQL clauses, without the leading $) plus limit/offset. Returns matching rows as JSON.
- **metadata** — Get a Delaware Open Data dataset's schema + metadata (columns, types, row count, category, last-updated) by resource_id, e.g. "5zy2-grhr".

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Install path detected from listing signals. Uses `npx` (confidence: high):

```json

    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@pipeworx/mcp-data-delaware"]
  }
}

## Documentation

## What the Data Delaware MCP server does

The Data Delaware MCP server exposes Delaware’s public Socrata catalog to MCP-compatible AI clients. It focuses on three operations: finding relevant datasets, examining a dataset’s structure, and retrieving rows from a selected dataset. Results from queries are returned as JSON, making the server suitable for agents that need to inspect or analyze structured public records.

The hosted endpoint is part of Pipeworx. A direct connection exposes the Delaware-specific tools along with shared Pipeworx gateway tools. The local package exposes only the Delaware tools and does not include the gateway’s shared routing or memory-related tools.

## How it works

Start with `datasets` when the dataset identifier is unknown. The tool searches the Delaware Open Data catalog by keyword and returns each match’s `resource_id`, name, description, category, and update date. Pass the returned identifier to the other tools.

Use `metadata` to inspect a dataset before querying it. The response includes columns, data types, row count, category, and last-updated information. Use `query` to execute a Socrata SoQL request against the selected resource. Its arguments support `where`, `select`, `group`, and `order` clauses without the leading dollar sign, plus `limit` and `offset`. Matching rows are returned as JSON.

The hosted MCP connection uses `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-delaware/mcp`. Pipeworx also offers a full gateway endpoint at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp`; either endpoint can reach the broader Pipeworx catalog through the shared `ask_pipeworx` tool, while the pack endpoint lists the Delaware tools directly.

## Setup and configuration

For Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or another MCP client that accepts remote endpoints, add the hosted URL as an MCP server.

For local use, run the package with `npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-data-delaware` and configure the client to launch that command. The local process communicates over standard input and output, requires no Pipeworx account, and avoids a gateway round trip. It responds to MCP `initialize`, `tools/list`, and `tools/call` requests.

The tools can also be called over HTTP without an MCP client. Pipeworx documents endpoints under `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/`, including `data_delaware_datasets` for catalog searches.

## Tools and capabilities

- Search Delaware datasets by keyword.
- Retrieve dataset schemas and descriptive metadata.
- Run SoQL queries against a dataset resource.
- Filter, select, group, order, limit, and paginate query results.
- Return query rows as JSON.

## Limitations and notes

It does not provide a general database connection or claim access to datasets outside that source.

The hosted pack endpoint includes shared Pipeworx meta-tools in addition to the three Delaware tools, so its tool listing is larger than the pack’s core tool list. The local stdio mode does not include those shared tools. The gateway’s exact tool scope can change; its `initialize` response is authoritative for a particular connection.
