Meta Data MCP

meta-data-mcp is one MCP server - not many. Under the hood it bundles 90 plugins, each wrapping a different open-data API. The plugins are an implementation detail; from your LLM's perspective there is one server and one place to ask "where can I find data about X?". It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting data & analytics tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "meta-data-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
