dataset
Show full metadata for one Netherlands Open Data dataset by id or name (from search_datasets), including all resources and their resource_ids.
query_resource
Pull rows from a tabular Netherlands Open Data resource (CKAN DataStore) by resource_id (from a dataset's resources). Optional full-text q, limit, offset. Note: only resources with the DataStore enabled are queryable.

search_datasets
Search Ireland's national open-data catalogue (data.gov.ie, CKAN package_search). Returns matching datasets from government departments, state agencies, and local councils, with titles/descriptions and their resources (English).
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).

Full dataset record by id or slug (CKAN package_show), including its resources. Each resource has a download "url" (often PDF/CSV/XLSX) and a "datastore_active" flag; resources with datastore_active=true can be read row-by-row via datastore_query using the resource "id".
datastore_query
Read actual table rows from a resource via CKAN datastore_search. Works only for resources with datastore_active=true (get the resource_id from dataset_details).
list_organizations
List publishing organizations (government departments, state agencies, county/city councils) on data.gov.ie (CKAN organization_list).
list_groups
List thematic groups/categories on data.gov.ie (CKAN group_list).
