Utah Open Data
Utah state open data via Socrata SoQL — government, grants, health, demographics.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http utah-open-data 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-utah/mcp'{
"mcpServers": {
"utah-open-data": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-utah/mcp"
}
}

mcp-data-utah
Utah Open Data — US government open data (opendata.utah.gov) via the Socrata SoQL API: state government, grants, health & demographics. Keyless.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
datasets | Search the Utah Open Data catalog of open datasets by keyword. Returns each dataset's resource_id, name, description, category and update date — pass the resource_id to query/metadata. |
query | Run a Socrata SoQL query against a Utah Open Data dataset by resource_id (e.g. "7n5d-er3z"). Filter with where/select/group/order (SoQL clauses, without the leading $) plus limit/offset. Returns matching rows as JSON. |
metadata | Get a Utah Open Data dataset's schema + metadata (columns, types, row count, category, last-updated) by resource_id, e.g. "7n5d-er3z". |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"data-utah": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-utah/mcp"
}
}
}What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-utah/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 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 Utah data" })The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

How do I install Utah Open Data?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http utah-open-data 'https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-utah/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does Utah Open Data need an API key?
Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
Is Utah Open Data open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains Utah Open Data?
It is published by pipeworx-io. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
