Sdk vs U.S. Government Open Data
A side-by-side look at the Sdk and U.S. Government Open Data MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Sdk for aggregators work as a local process; choose U.S. Government Open Data for aggregators as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

search.endpointsFind the right 2s endpoint(s) for a task using a natural-language query (e.g. "screen a company for sanctions", "decode a VIN", "check a domain's email security"). Returns ranked matches with id, path, method, price, and description. Use this to discover capabilities before calling.batch.runRun up to 50 endpoint calls behind ONE x402 payment. Price = exact sum of the sub-call prices (no discount). Atomic: every sub-call must succeed or nothing is charged (failures are returned so you can retry for free). Sub-calls must be ordinary catalog endpoints (no bearer-only, deprecated, variable-priced, or metered-upstream endpoints; no nested batch). Each item carries that endpoint's own response in `data`.soil.profileGround-truth soil profile for any US lat/lng from USDA-NRCS SSURGO. Returns the soil map unit + component soil types ranked by composition %, each with taxonomic order/class, drainage class, hydrologic group, and slope. Keyless, public-domain. For agronomy, land/septic/foundation suitability, hydrology, crop-fit. Water/unsurveyed points return an empty component list.soil.hardiness-zoneUSDA Plant Hardiness Zone for a US ZIP code — planting zone (e.g. "9b") + average annual minimum-temperature range (°F) + ZIP centroid. Keyless, public-domain. The "what grows where" primitive for gardening/landscaping/nursery/agronomy.agriculture.droughtUS Drought Monitor severity for a county (5-digit FIPS) or state (2-letter). Weekly % of area in each category (None, D0 Abnormally Dry → D4 Exceptional), newest first, with the worst category per week. Keyless, public-domain (NDMC/USDA/NOAA). The official metric behind USDA disaster eligibility.agriculture.statsUSDA NASS QuickStats — authoritative US ag statistics: crop yields, acreage, production, livestock inventory, prices received. Filter by commodity (CORN/SOYBEANS/CATTLE…), year (or year__GE/__LE range), state (2-letter), county, statistic category (YIELD/PRODUCTION/AREA HARVESTED/PRICE RECEIVED), aggregation level. 50k-row cap — narrow broad queries. Public-domain.telecom.fcc-filingsSearch FCC ECFS filings for a proceeding/docket (e.g. 17-108 net neutrality, 11-42 Lifeline), optionally by filer. Returns newest filings with submission id, filer, type, lead bureau, received/disseminated dates, doc count. Track FCC regulatory dockets, comments, ex-parte filings. Public-domain.telecom.market-areaMap a US lat/lon to its FCC spectrum-licensing geographies — Cellular Market Area (CMA), Basic/Major Trading Area (BTA/MTA), Partial Economic Area (PEA), and BEA/EAG/MEA/REAG economic areas — plus 2020 Census block FIPS, county, and block population. These define spectrum-license boundaries; distinct from ordinary geocoding. Keyless, public-domain.occupation.profileFull occupation dossier from O*NET (US DOL) by SOC/O*NET-SOC code (e.g. 15-1252). Returns title, description, bright-outlook flag, sample job titles, and top skills, knowledge, abilities, work tasks, and technology tools. CC-BY. The canonical occupation reference for résumé/JD reasoning + career mapping; pair the code with labor.wages.occupation.searchFind O*NET occupations by keyword (job title, skill, or activity). Returns ranked occupations with SOC/O*NET-SOC code + title. The "occupation code for this job/skill" primitive — every occupation.* / labor.wages call composes on the code. CC-BY.occupation.relatedOccupations related/career-adjacent to a given O*NET occupation, by SOC/O*NET-SOC code. Returns ranked related occupations (code + title). For career-pathing and transferable-skills reasoning. CC-BY.labor.wagesOccupational employment + wages from BLS OEWS by SOC code, nationally or by US state. Pass soc (e.g. 15-1252 Software Developers) + optional 2-letter state. Returns employment, hourly mean, and annual mean + 10th/25th/median/75th/90th-percentile wages (latest survey year). Authoritative ground-truth wages for comp benchmarking. Public-domain.- +563 more on the listing page

Frequently asked questions
Sdk is categorized under Aggregators and uses a local stdio subprocess. U.S. Government Open Data belongs to Aggregators and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Sdk for aggregators work and U.S. Government Open Data for aggregators.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Sdk is listed as freemium — a free tier with paid plans. Auth: other. U.S. Government Open Data has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Auth: api key required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add 2s-io-sdk and u-s-government-open-data as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
