## Installation

1.  **Install the package globally:**

    ```bash
    npm install -g @melaodoidao/datagov-mcp-server
    ```

2. **Configure the MCP Server:**

   - Add the following entry to your `cline_mcp_settings.json` file (usually located in `~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/` on macOS):

     ```json
      {
        "mcpServers": {
          "datagov": {
            "command": "datagov-mcp-server",
            "args": [],
            "env": {}
          }
        }
      }
     ```
    - If you are using the Claude Desktop app, add the entry to `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` instead.

## Usage

This server provides the following tools:

*   `package_search`: Search for packages (datasets) on Data.gov.
*   `package_show`: Get details for a specific package (dataset).
*   `group_list`: List groups on Data.gov.
*   `tag_list`: List tags on Data.gov.

It also provides the following resource template:

*   `datagov://resource/{url}`: Access a Data.gov resource by its URL.

You can use these tools and resources with Cline by specifying the server name (`datagov-mcp-server`) and the tool/resource name.
