DataSeattle MCP — Seattle open data (data.seattle.gov, Socrata SODA API).

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool

Description

seattle_recent

Recent records from a common Seattle open dataset (data.seattle.gov) by friendly name — no Socrata id needed. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "recent crime in Seattle", "Seattle fire 911 calls", "Seattle business licenses", "Seattle code complaints". Names: crime, fire911, business, code_complaints. Returns the latest rows (newest-first). Add a SoQL where to filter; for anything else use seattle_query.

seattle_query

Run a raw SoQL query against any Seattle open-data resource (data.seattle.gov) by its Socrata id (8-char like "tazs-3rd5"). Full SoQL: where/select/group/order/limit/offset. Use seattle_datasets to find a resource id, or seattle_recent for the common ones.

seattle_datasets

Search the Seattle open-data catalogue (data.seattle.gov) for datasets by keyword. Returns dataset names, descriptions, and Socrata resource ids to use with seattle_query.

Quick Start

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

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

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-seattle/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-toolsask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

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

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

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

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