About Data Iledefrance

Data Iledefrance is an MCP server for exploring Île-de-France Open Data. It lets researchers and analysts find datasets, inspect their schemas, and query records using ODSQL.

Key features

  1. 01Search regional datasets
  2. 02Inspect dataset metadata and fields
  3. 03Filter, aggregate, sort, and paginate records
  4. 04Run locally over stdio or through Pipeworx

Use cases

  1. 01Find datasets on transport or education
  2. 02Check field names before querying
  3. 03Analyze regional records with ODSQL

MCP support

Exposes dataset search, metadata, and ODSQL query tools to MCP clients. It can run locally over stdio or connect through the Pipeworx gateway.

Configuration

Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools

Details

From the project README

mcp-data-iledefrance

Île-de-France Open Data (data.iledefrance.fr) — OpenDataSoft MCP.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1878+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

ToolDescription
search_datasetsSearch Île-de-France Open Data for datasets by keyword (regional services, transport, education, environment & economy). Returns dataset_ids (pass to query/dataset_info), titles, themes and record counts.
dataset_infoGet metadata for one Île-de-France Open Data dataset (fields/schema, themes, record count) — call before query to learn the column names.
queryQuery records from a Île-de-France Open Data dataset with ODSQL. Filter (where), aggregate (group_by/select), sort (order_by), paginate (limit/offset).

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "data-iledefrance": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-iledefrance/mcp"
    }
  }
}
What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-iledefrance/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_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 1878+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/data_iledefrance_search_datasets \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query":"transport"}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/data_iledefrance_search_datasets. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "data-iledefrance": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-data-iledefrance"]
    }
  }
}

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-data-iledefrance

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

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 Iledefrance data" })

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

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
