## Description
data.europa.eu — official EU open-data hub (~1.6M datasets)

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **search** — Search the EU open-data portal (data.europa.eu) for datasets by free-text query; supports Solr filter expressions (e.g. country.iso:DE), pagination via rows/start, and sorting. Returns dataset titles, descriptions, and publisher info.
- **package** — Fetch a single EU open-data dataset record by its portal ID, returning full metadata including title, description, publisher, license, distributions, and tags.
- **organizations** — List EU open-data portal publishing organizations (EU institutions, member-state agencies, etc.) with their names and dataset counts; limit controls page size (default 100, max 1000).
- **groups** — List thematic dataset categories (groups) on the EU open-data portal (e.g. environment, transport, economy); returns category names and IDs for use as filters in search.
- **tags** — List or search keyword tags used to annotate datasets on the EU open-data portal; pass query to filter by prefix, limit controls page size (default 100).

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

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "data-europa": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","@pipeworx/mcp-data-europa"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation

## What Data Europa does

Data Europa exposes the European Union’s data.europa.eu portal through MCP. The portal aggregates roughly 1.6 million datasets from EU institutions and the 27 member states. Agents can search the catalog, inspect a specific dataset, and use the portal’s organization, category, and keyword metadata to refine discovery.

The integration is keyless and independent of the upstream portal. It is an unofficial connection rather than a service published or endorsed by the European Union. The underlying source is the portal’s CKAN-compatible API at `https://data.europa.eu/api/hub/search/`.

## How it works

You can connect through the hosted Pipeworx MCP endpoint or run the package locally over stdio. The hosted endpoint is:

`https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-europa/mcp`

A local process communicates over standard input and output and exposes only Data Europa’s own tools. The hosted pack endpoint also includes shared Pipeworx gateway tools, such as routing and discovery tools, so its `tools/list` response contains more tools than the five Data Europa operations. The full Pipeworx gateway is another connection option when an agent needs direct access to other data packs.

For clients without MCP support, the hosted tools can also be called over HTTP. For example, the search operation is available at `POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/data_europa_search` with a JSON body containing a `query` value.

## Setup and configuration

Add the hosted endpoint to an MCP client with a configuration such as:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "data-europa": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-europa/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

For a standalone local setup, use the package through `npx`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "data-europa": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-data-europa"]
    }
  }
}
```

The local package can also be started directly with `npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-data-europa`. No Pipeworx account is required for the standalone mode, and the hosted endpoint does not require an account for its first calls.

## Tools and capabilities

- `search` accepts free-text queries, optional Solr filter expressions, pagination parameters, and sorting. Results include dataset titles, descriptions, and publisher information. Filters can target fields such as `country.iso:DE`.
- `package` retrieves one dataset by its portal ID, including its title, description, publisher, license, distributions, and tags.
- `organizations` lists publishing organizations, including EU institutions and member-state agencies, with dataset counts. Its limit defaults to 100 and can reach 1,000.
- `groups` lists thematic categories and their IDs, which can be used to guide or filter searches.
- `tags` lists keyword tags or filters them by a supplied query. Its page size defaults to 100.

## Limitations and notes

The hosted pack endpoint includes shared gateway meta-tools in addition to the Data Europa tools. Use the local stdio package when an agent should see only this pack’s operations. Both connection modes use the same data source, while the hosted gateway can route questions to other Pipeworx sources through its shared tools.
