Data Seattle
DataSeattle MCP — Seattle open data (data.seattle.gov, Socrata SODA API).
Installation
Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).
claude mcp add --transport http data-seattle 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-seattle/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"data-seattle": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-seattle/mcp"
}
}

Sommaire
mcp-data-seattle
DataSeattle MCP — Seattle open data (data.seattle.gov, Socrata SODA API).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1854+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
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-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 1854+ 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/seattle_recent \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"dataset":"crime"}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/seattle_recent. 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-seattle": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-data-seattle"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-data-seattle
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 Seattle data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
