I14y MCP Overview

The i14y-mcp MCP server connects AI agents to Switzerland’s I14Y national metadata catalogue over a live, unauthenticated HTTPS API. It provides read-only tools for finding datasets, retrieving distributions and licences, inspecting registered APIs, and querying concepts, publishers, catalogues, and public services. Use it when an agent needs to identify who publishes data, where it is available, or which usage terms apply before working with Swiss public data. The server supports stdio and streamable HTTP transports.

Primary Use Cases for I14y MCP:
  • Search Swiss catalogue metadata by topic
  • Check dataset download URLs and licences
  • Identify publishers and their Swiss UID
  • Inspect registered Swiss API endpoints
