AnythingLLM

1. Locate the anythingllm_mcp_servers.json file in your AnythingLLM storage plugins directory:

   • Linux: ~/.config/anythingllm-desktop/storage/plugins/anythingllm_mcp_servers.json
   • MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/anythingllm-desktop/storage/plugins/anythingllm_mcp_servers.json
   • Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\anythingllm-desktop\storage\plugins\anythingllm_mcp_servers.json

2. Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagouv": {
      "type": "streamable",
      "url": "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For more details, see the AnythingLLM MCP documentation.

ChatGPT

Available for paid plans only (Plus, Pro, Team, and Enterprise).

1. Access Settings: Open ChatGPT in your browser, go to Settings, then Apps and connectors.
2. Enable Dev Mode: Open Advanced settings and enable Developer mode.
3. Add Connector: Return to Settings > Connectors > Browse connectors and click Add a new connector.
4. Configure the connector: Set the URL to https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp and save to activate the tools.

Claude Code

Use the claude mcp command to add the MCP server:

claude mcp add --transport http datagouv https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file (typically ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on Linux, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on MacOS, or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagouv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop on Windows: If the server appears in the list but never connects (no handshake, tools missing), Claude may be using its built-in Node.js runtime, which does not see packages installed with your system npm (including a global mcp-remote). Set isUsingBuiltInNodeForMcp to false at the root of the same config file so npx uses your installed Node — then restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "isUsingBuiltInNodeForMcp": false,
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagouv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

See issue #69 for background.

    "datagouv": {
      "url": "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

IBM Bob

IBM Bob supports MCP servers through its settings. To configure the server:

1. Click the setting icon in the Bob panel.
2. Select the MCP tab.
3. Click the appropriate button:

• Edit Global MCP: Opens the global mcp_settings.json file
• Edit Project MCP: Opens the project-specific .bob/mcp.json file (Bob creates it if it does not exist)

Both files use JSON format with an mcpServers object containing named server configurations.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagouv": {
      "url": "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp",
      "type": "streamable-http"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagouv": {
      "url": "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp"

See the full Vibe MCP options in the official docs: MCP server configuration.

OpenCode

Add to opencode.json (e.g. ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json or your project root). Remote servers use the top-level mcp object with type: "remote". See OpenCode MCP servers.

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "datagouv": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp",
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add the following to your VS Code mcp.json file (Linux: ~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json, MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json, Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json). Run MCP: Open User Configuration from the Command Palette to open it.

{
  "servers": {
    "datagouv": {
      "url": "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp",
      "type": "http"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add the following to your ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (Linux: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, MacOS: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.codeium\windsurf\mcp_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagouv": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note:

• The hosted endpoint is https://mcp.data.gouv.fr/mcp. If you run the server yourself, replace it with your own URL (see “Run locally” below for the default local endpoint).
• This MCP server only exposes read-only tools for now, so no API key is required.

🖥️ Run locally

1. Run the MCP server

Before starting, clone this repository and browse into it:

git clone git@github.com:datagouv/datagouv-mcp.git
cd datagouv-mcp

docker compose up -d

# With custom environment variables
MCP_PORT=8007 DATAGOUV_API_ENV=demo LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG docker compose up -d

# Stop
docker compose down
