opendata.fyi – Canadian public data via MCP

Jan 1, 1 · 1 min read

An open-source MCP server that connects AI assistants to ~75,000 Canadian public datasets from the Government of Canada, Alberta, Ontario, and Statistics Canada. No API keys needed — semantic search runs locally via a DuckDB vector index, queries hit the official APIs directly.

Works with any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, etc.). Zero telemetry by default. Uses Reciprocal Rank Fusion across a local semantic index and live CKAN keyword searches for discovery, then routes queries through the fastest path per resource — CKAN datastores, DuckDB-streamed CSVs, StatCan’s WDS API, or PDF extraction.

Every result preserves a link to the authoritative source. MIT licensed.
