**Ask ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot about Ireland, and get answers that cite official public sources.**

Ireland MCP is a free connector for AI assistants. It lets your assistant look up Irish public data, such as census figures, train times, weather warnings, house prices and Dáil business, and tell you where every number came from. Website: [irishopendata.ie](https://irishopendata.ie).

- **Free, with no account or API key.** Paste one web address into your assistant.
- **Read-only.** It only looks things up. It cannot change or submit anything.
- **Official sources.** Answers come back with the publisher, licence and the time the data was fetched, so you can check them.
- **Open source** under the MIT licence. An unofficial community project, not a government service.

## What can I ask?

- “What is the latest population profile for Galway city or County Cork?”
- “Are there Met Éireann weather warnings near Dublin today?”
- “What did houses sell for in Ennis last year?”
- “When is the next train from Heuston, and are there disruptions?”
- “Who are the current TDs for my constituency, and what bills are active?”
- “What protected habitats, monuments, planning applications or census areas are near this point?”

The assistant writes the answer; Ireland MCP supplies the data and its source. Check the date and source before you rely on a figure.

## Set it up in 30 seconds

The server address is `https://mcp.irishopendata.ie/mcp`. It needs no sign-in.

- **ChatGPT:** Plugins → **+** → **Add custom MCP server** → paste the address → **No authentication**. [Full steps](#connect-your-assistant).
- **Claude:** Settings → Connectors → **Add custom connector** → paste the address.
- **GitHub Copilot CLI:**

  ```sh
  copilot mcp add --transport http ireland https://mcp.irishopendata.ie/mcp
  ```

- **VS Code:** add `.vscode/mcp.json`:

  ```json
  { "servers": { "ireland": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.irishopendata.ie/mcp" } } }
  ```

**Check it works.** Ask: *"Using the ireland tools, give me the Census 2022 profile of Ennis, Co Clare, and the Met Éireann forecast for Galway. Cite the sources."* The answer should link `https://data.cso.ie/table/F1015` and the Met Éireann forecast URL.<sup>†</sup>

<sub>† The forecast URL is `http://`: Met Éireann's `https://` host currently redirects to an origin that fails TLS.</sub>

## Beta features

Beta features are off on the hosted server. You can turn them on when you run your own copy.

### Beta: Irish law & your rights (annual leave and working time)

> **Not legal advice.** For your own situation, contact [Citizens Information](https://www.citizensinformation.ie), the [Workplace Relations Commission](https://www.workplacerelations.ie) or a solicitor.

An optional pilot finds Irish employment-law evidence and quotes it with links. It covers only two topics today: **annual leave and working time**.

- **What it reads:** two Citizens Information guidance pages, the Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 and the Irish Statute Book page listing that Act's later changes.
- **Act text is as passed in 1997.** It may not include later amendments. Check the changes page and the cited source.
- **Citizens Information blocks automated access today.** Its firewall refused the pilot's requests on 26 October 2026, so a sync may fetch only the Irish Statute Book pages. We will not disguise the pilot as a browser. Wider coverage needs permission or an official export from the Citizens Information Board; we are asking.
- **AI summaries can be wrong.** Every answer quotes its sources. Read them.

Without the beta, the default `legislation` source quotes Irish law as enacted, live from the Irish Statute Book. In this revision that covers Acts, statutory instruments and the Constitution; check `ireland_describe` for what a given server offers. The beta adds Citizens Information guidance and stored, versioned evidence.

Try it on your own machine:

```sh
npm run legal:sync    # fetch the seed pages into .irish-legal-cache
npm run legal:serve   # chat page and tools at http://127.0.0.1:4173
```

`legal:sync` exits with an error while any page fails. Today that is expected for the Citizens Information pages; the Irish Statute Book pages are still saved.

Or add it to the main server with `LEGAL_ENABLED=true` (off by default). Read the [beta assessment](docs/legal-beta-assessment.md) and [pilot guide](packages/irish-legal-mcp/README.md) first.

## What's inside

<!-- counts:start (generated by `npm run counts`; CI checks it) -->
| Count | Value | Definition |
| --- | ---: | --- |
| Data sources | 39 | Upstream public-data sources, one module each. The `cross` combiner is not a source. |
| Available without an operator key | 37 of 39 | NTA realtime needs an operator key. Logainm needs a Gaois operator account and API key. |
| Catalogue operations | 93 | 89 source operations plus 4 cross-source ones (`list_sources`, `nearby`, `ireland_snapshot`, `ireland_resolve_place`), all callable through `ireland_call`. |
| Default tools | 8 | What `tools/list` returns: 4 meta tools plus `search`, `fetch`, `nearby` and `ireland_resolve_place`. |
| Tools with `?toolsets=all` | 99 | Every operation as a typed tool, plus the 4 meta tools, `search` and `fetch`. |
| Prompts | 3 | `area_profile`, `commute_check`, `compare_counties`. |
| Dataset cards | 39 of 39 | Sources with a card (topics, geography levels, time coverage, join keys) that `ireland_catalogue` filters on. See [dataset cards](docs/dataset-cards.md). |
<!-- counts:end -->

Last full run of every operation then in the catalogue against the hosted endpoint: <!-- live-ops:start -->[docs/live-all-ops.md](docs/live-all-ops.md) (2026-10-26): 78 of 82 pass, 1 fail; 3 need an operator key (NTA, Logainm).<!-- live-ops:end -->

The default profile covers statistics (CSO, Eurostat, ECB, World Bank), the Oireachtas and Irish Statute Book, Met Éireann, transport (Irish Rail, Luas, NTA, TFI stops, bikes), property, planning, heritage, environment, energy, tourism, lobbying, pay-gap reports, council budgets and more. An optional [Irish legal and Citizens Information pilot](packages/irish-legal-mcp/README.md) is off by default; see [Beta features](#beta-features).

<details>
<summary><strong>All 39 sources, publishers and licences</strong></summary>

The default profile registers 39 source modules in `src/registry.ts`. The default `nearby`, `ireland_resolve_place`, `search` and `fetch` shortcuts sit above these sources. `ireland_resolve_place` maps any place to its county, council, LEA, constituency, NUTS3 and ED codes; see the [place crosswalk](docs/crosswalk.md). The optional pilot rows require `LEGAL_ENABLED=true` and an ingested corpus; check `ireland_catalogue` for the modules available on an endpoint. See [new provider access and limits](docs/public-source-additions.md).

Every source has a [dataset card](docs/dataset-cards.md): topics, geography levels, time coverage, update cadence, join keys and licence. Ask `ireland_catalogue` for, say, `{"geo_level": "lea", "topic": "housing"}` to list only the operations with that data, and `ireland_describe` with a source for its full card.

## Why it's lean

Most data MCPs expose every typed tool up front. Ireland MCP keeps the default `tools/list` to **8 tools, 11,924 characters, about 2,981 tokens** (`toolsets=all` is 99 tools, about 29k tokens) (`npm run measure:tools`). CI fails if that list grows past 16,000 characters.

<p align="center">
  <a href="docs/architecture/ireland-mcp-lean-surface.drawio">
    <img src="docs/architecture/ireland-mcp-lean-surface.png" alt="Token-cost comparison: 8 default tools versus all typed tools and one-server-per-source routing" width="800">
  </a>
</p>

Need typed tools anyway?

| Surface | Use |
| --- | --- |
| Default HTTP | `/mcp` lists only `ireland_catalogue`, `ireland_describe`, `ireland_call`, `ireland_about`, `search`, `fetch`, `nearby`, `ireland_resolve_place`. |
| Source toolsets | `/mcp?toolsets=cso,irish-rail` lists selected typed tools too. |
| One source path | `/mcp/x/{source}` lists that source's typed tools, for example `/mcp/x/met-eireann`. |
| Everything | `/mcp?toolsets=all` lists all available tools and is useful for debugging, not routine chat. |
| Local stdio | `npx -y ireland-mcp --toolsets=cso` or `--toolsets=all`. |

`max_tokens` defaults to about 2,000 output tokens and can be set from 100 to 8,000. Large results return `truncated`, counts and narrowing hints instead of flooding the context.

## Hosted or self-hosted

- **Use the hosted endpoint** (`https://mcp.irishopendata.ie/mcp`) unless you have a reason not to. It's free, needs no keys, and the maintainer keeps it running.
- **Run it yourself** with `npx -y ireland-mcp` (stdio), `npm run dev:http` (local HTTP), or your own Azure deployment. See [docs/self-hosting.md](docs/self-hosting.md).
- **Contribute a source** if something Irish and public is missing. See [Contributing](#contributing).

## Privacy and usage counts

- Read-only, no accounts, and no argument values or IP addresses in logs or telemetry.
- The hosted service keeps aggregate usage counts in PostHog: which sources and client apps are used, with no identities. The website counts anonymous page views without cookies. [PRIVACY.md](PRIVACY.md) lists every field.
- Self-hosted copies never send usage counts unless you configure PostHog. An Azure deployment from the templates exports traces and metrics to your own Application Insights; set `IRELAND_MCP_OTEL=off` to stop that. Local stdio and HTTP send nothing.
- `GET /healthz` (add `?deep=1` for per-source checks) and a public [status feed](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/c-mongan/ireland-mcp/status/status/status.json) report service health.

## Limits

- Read-only public data only. No login-gated, paid or key-required user data.
- NTA realtime and Logainm placenames need server-side operator keys; every other source works without one.
- Upstream data can be delayed, provisional, incomplete or temporarily down. Stale cache is labelled `stale: true` and is used only for retryable failures. Permanent request, access and missing-resource errors remain visible.
- Property Price Register values are declared sale prices, not valuations.
- Legislation text is for retrieval and analysis, not legal advice. The optional legal pilot covers only ingested pages. Enacted text, Citizens Information guidance and any permitted consolidation require verification of amendments, commencement and source currency; they do not certify current law.
- Large tables are paginated or truncated. Use `fields`, `limit`, `cursor` and source filters.

## Contributing

New sources are the most useful contribution. [Request one](https://github.com/c-mongan/ireland-mcp/issues/new?template=source_request.yml), or add it yourself:

1. Create `src/sources/<id>/index.ts` exporting a `SourceModule` with `info`, `summary`, `domain`, `coverage`, tools, optional `search()` and `fetchById()`. A source with `search()` must also implement `fetchById()` for the ids it returns.
2. Keep every tool name source-prefixed, validate args with zod and return the evidence envelope with source URL, licence and attribution.
3. Use `ctx.cachedJson` / `ctx.cachedText` so upstream budgets, caching, circuit breakers and stale fallback apply.
4. Add fixtures and tests at the module seam, then add a server-level `ireland_call` test when useful.
5. Register the module in `src/registry.ts`, update `scripts/live-sanity.mjs`, eval cases and docs.
6. Run lint, typecheck, tests, build, inspector and live sanity before opening a PR.

See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full checklist.
