PH Civic Data MCP Server

Philippine civic-data portals publish open data in different shapes: scraped HTML tables, PXWeb JSON, and undocumented APIs. Nothing ties them together for an agent to use. This server does, over stdio, with zero hosting cost and no API key needed. It answers questions such as how many people live in a barangay, whether a place sits near an active fault or volcano, what a city spent on flood control, and how one…

People who work with civic tech, open data and pagasa and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
