Connects Claude to New Zealand's open data catalog via the CKAN API. You get five tools: package_search for full-text queries across datasets, organization_list and group_list for browsing publishers and categories, tag_list for taxonomy exploration, and recently_changed_packages for tracking updates. Runs through Pipeworx's gateway, which means you can either point directly at data.govt.nz or connect to their full network of 673+ sources. Useful when you're analyzing NZ public sector data, comparing datasets across government agencies, or need to programmatically discover what's available without clicking through a web portal. Includes an ask_pipeworx wrapper that takes natural language questions instead of manual tool calls.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"data-govt-nz": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-govt-nz/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Data Govt Nz data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
