open-data-mcp

markatdataandbeyond/open-data-mcp MCP server Listed on mcpservers.org

Ten tools I built to get facts from official open data, not guesses. This repository is an open-source MCP server (stdio). Each tool calls the official source API directly from your machine — no Apify token required for the local server.

Optional env keys (never commit them):

  • OPENALEX_API_KEY — enables OpenAlex in scholar-search (free key from openalex.org)

  • NCBI_API_KEY — higher PubMed rate limits (free from NCBI)

Run locally

npm ci
node src/index.js

Point your MCP client at the stdio command node /path/to/open-data-mcp/src/index.js (or the Docker image built from the Dockerfile in this repo). tools/list works with no environment variables.

Docker:

docker build -t open-data-mcp .
docker run --rm -i open-data-mcp

Hosted version

The same ten tools are also available as pay-per-event Apify Actors if you want a hosted endpoint instead of running the server yourself:
