Data Mesa Overview
Data Mesa connects MCP clients to Mesa Open Data at citydata.mesaaz.gov through the Pipeworx gateway. Its tools find datasets, retrieve schema and metadata, and execute Socrata SoQL queries with filtering, grouping, sorting, pagination, and field selection. Use it when an agent needs structured data from Mesa’s public catalog rather than general web search. The integration is independent and unofficial, and it can be used through a hosted MCP endpoint or a local npm stdio bridge.
Primary Use Cases for Data Mesa:
- Find Mesa datasets about a specific topic
- Inspect a dataset schema before querying it
- Run filtered SoQL queries against public records
- Paginate and group Mesa Open Data results
