Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tools

Description

boston_recent

Recent records from a common City of Boston open dataset (data.boston.gov) by friendly name — no CKAN resource id needed. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "recent crime in Boston", "Boston 311 requests", "Boston building permits". Names: crime, 311, permits. Returns the latest rows (newest-first). Pass q for a free-text keyword filter; for full control use boston_query.

boston_query

Query any City of Boston datastore resource (data.boston.gov, CKAN) by its resource id (a UUID). Supports a free-text q, exact-match filters (field→value), sort ("field desc"), limit and offset. Use boston_datasets to find a resource id, or boston_recent for the common ones.

boston_datasets

Search the City of Boston open-data catalogue (data.boston.gov, CKAN) by keyword. Returns each matching dataset's title and its queryable datastore resource ids (use with boston_query).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "data-boston": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-boston/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Data Boston data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
