Amsterdam Open Data Explorer

Amsterdam Open Data Explorer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Keyless explorer over all 122+ datasets of Amsterdam's DSO open-data platform: list datasets, inspect their resources, browse any table and query the data catalog — no API key.

5 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

The meta-interface to Amsterdam's open data. Instead of one dataset, this MCP lets an agent discover and query the whole DSO Dataplatform: the live dataset index, per-dataset API specs, generic table access and the city's data catalog of products and data teams.

What you can do

  • List datasets — all 122+ services with name, description, tags and API URL; filter by keyword or tag
  • Inspect a dataset — the OpenAPI spec for any dataset: which resources it exposes and which operations (GET/POST) each supports
  • Browse any dataset — generic fetcher for any dataset + resource: optional filters, sort, page, page size and field projection
  • Data catalog — the city's catalogued data products and the 26 data teams that own them

Who is this for

Agents that need to explore Amsterdam open data without knowing the dataset names up front, prototyping against new datasets, and building on top of anything the DSO platform exposes.

5 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

list_datasets

Use it to discover which datasets exist before browsing one. Optionally filter by keyword or tag. List all open datasets published by the city of Amsterdam

get_dataset_info

Returns the dataset metadata plus the list of resources (API paths and their operations), so you know which resource names to pass to browse_dataset. Get full metadata and the OpenAPI resources of one dataset

list_data_products

Optionally filter by keyword or paginate. List the city data products catalog

browse_dataset

Discover the dataset folder, version and resource names with list_datasets / get_dataset_info first. Accepts comma-separated field=value filters plus the standard pagination, sorting and field-projection parameters. Browse any resource of any city dataset (generic fetcher)

list_data_teams

Optionally filter by keyword. List the city data teams that own the data products

Which Amsterdam datasets are about water?

list_datasets with a 'water' keyword returns the matching dataset rows: service name, short description, tags, open-data URL and API URL. Inspect one with get_dataset_info.

What resources does the bomen dataset expose?

get_dataset_info for 'bomen' fetches its OpenAPI spec and lists the resources with their supported operations: stamgegevens, kapenherplant, stormmeldingen, veiligheidsinspecties and more — use these names with browse_dataset.

Fetch the first 10 rows of bag nummeraanduidingen.

browse_dataset with dataset 'bag' and resource 'nummeraanduidingen' (page size 10) returns the address rows with pagination fields, so you can page deeper into the full register.

No. The DSO dataset index, the per-dataset OpenAPI specs and the generic table access are public (OPENBAAR). Some individual datasets are marked as requiring a key in their index entry — the dataset info response shows the authentication requirement, so check it before assuming access.
