NYC Crime & Shootings

NYC Crime & Shootings MCP Connector for Claude

Keyless NYC crime data: shooting incidents with offender and victim detail, incident counts and top precincts, bias-motive crime complaints, and the historic NYPD complaint dataset — no API key.

7 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Official city crime records, keyless, built for analysis and verification.

What you can do

  • List shootings — gunshot incidents with date, borough, location, precinct and lat/lon
  • Count shootings — totals by borough, precinct or date window
  • Offender / victim detail — the suspected offenders and victims of one incident (age groups, sex, fatality flag)
  • Hate crimes — bias-motive complaints with offense and motive descriptions
  • Historic NYPD complaints — the city's complaint system of record with offense descriptions and law categories
  • Top shooting precincts — the precincts with the most incidents in a trailing window

Who is this for

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

count_shootings

Use it to size a question before listing incidents; for "which precincts" use top_shooting_precincts. Count shooting incidents with filters

list_hate_crimes

Filter by patrol_borough_name, offense_category or complaint_year_number (e.g. "2025"). List bias-motive (hate) crime complaints

list_shooting_offenders

Give the incident_key from list_shootings. Ages are ranges, not exact values. Suspected offenders recorded in one shooting incident

list_shooting_victims

Give the incident_key from list_shootings. Victims recorded in one shooting incident

list_shootings

Each incident has an incident_key that keys the offender and victim detail tables — use it with list_shooting_offenders / list_shooting_victims. boro values are UPPERCASE (BROOKLYN, QUEENS, ...); dates are ISO "YYYY-MM-DD". List NYC gunshot/shooting incidents with location and precinct

search_nypd_complaints

Filter by boro_nm, ofns_desc (exact offense text), law_cat_cd, or a cmplnt_fr_dt window. This is the historic system of record — newer complaints use a different format. Search historic NYPD complaint data (arrests and non-arrests)

top_shooting_precincts

Widen or narrow with days. Precinct codes come back as numbers; use list_shootings with precinct to inspect them. Precincts with the most shooting incidents in a recent window

How many shootings in Brooklyn last year?

count_shootings with boro "BROOKLYN" and an occur_date window returns the total; list_shootings then shows the incidents themselves.

Show the top shooting precincts over five years

top_shooting_precincts with days=1825 ranks precincts by incident count in that window.

What happened in shooting incident INC-KEY-123?

list_shooting_offenders and list_shooting_victims with that incident_key return the recorded suspects and victims (age groups, sex, fatality flag).

No. NYC Open Data serves all public datasets anonymously over its SODA API (data.cityofnewyork.us). This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured.
