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 who work with meta model context protocol, ai data analysis and anthropic claude and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Meta Data MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add derekslinz-meta-data-mcp -- uvx meta-data-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

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

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
