# Find and inspect French public datasets through data.gouv.fr MCP

Search data.gouv.fr, check dataset provenance and resource metadata, then preview supported tabular rows and return a cited research handoff.

## Prerequisites

MCP client supporting Streamable HTTP; network access to mcp.data.gouv.fr

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

Configure a remote Streamable HTTP MCP connection to https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp using your client configuration. The official README states no API key is required for its read-only tools. For Claude Code the documented example is: claude mcp add --transport http datagouv https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp. Reconnect and inspect available tools before starting the dataset research pass.
