Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Official UK, US and Australia public datasets as filtered CSV, REST API and MCP for AI agents.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Databases & datasets
  • You need to fill in: DATASCOOP_API_KEY, Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 2 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 7 things (tools) get_dataset_intelligence, list_datasets, search_datasets, get_dataset_schema …
  • You fill in yourself: DATASCOOP_API_KEY, Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datascoop": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "datascoop-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DATASCOOP_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http datascoop https://datascoop.io/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add datascoop --env DATASCOOP_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y datascoop-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datascoop": {
      "url": "https://datascoop.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datascoop": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

      ],
      "env": {
        "DATASCOOP_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "datascoop": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://datascoop.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "datascoop": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

      ],
      "env": {
        "DATASCOOP_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • DATASCOOP_API_KEY secret env
    Optional DataScoop API key for Pro (unlimited rows).
  • Authorization secret HTTP header
    Optional. Bearer for Pro (unlimited rows). Omit for the free 25-row preview.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • get_dataset_intelligence

    For England CQC care homes, return exact selection totals, registered providers, recorded beds, missing-value coverage and up to 25 provider summaries. Provider IDs describe registered operators, not ultimate owners. A pending response requires retrying after the supplied delay.

  • list_datasets

    List every dataset DataScoop carries (official public records: UK food hygiene ratings, Scotland FHIS, CQC care providers, the UK charity register, US restaurant inspections, US building permits, and more as added) with country, coverage, row count, licence, refresh date and the

  • search_datasets

    Find candidate DataScoop datasets from keywords or a short task description, such as "Find care homes in Surrey" or "restaurant inspections Chicago". Candidates describe declared coverage, not verified matches for the requested location. Call get_dataset_schema, then query_datase

  • get_dataset_schema

    Get a dataset's columns and the exact filters it accepts (key, type, allowed options, example). Use the filter keys, not column names, when calling query_dataset.

  • query_dataset

    Return matching public records, their total count and the attribution to cite. Fields marked personal in our schema are excluded; published business names, addresses or phone numbers may still identify sole traders. Without a Pro key each call returns at most 25 rows; when more m

  • get_area_statistics

    Free area totals and breakdowns for supported datasets, including CQC care-home lists, food hygiene ratings, restaurant inspections, aged care, carriers, building permits and licences. Rating datasets include published rating shares; permits use construction and demolition catego

  • get_access_info

    How to get full access: the current plan of this connection, row caps, prices (free preview, one-off export, Pro annual pass), the signup and pricing URLs, how to pass an API key, and the wording to use when telling a user how to get every row.

Common questions

Is DataScoop public data safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: DATASCOOP_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Supabase, MongoDB MCP Server, Elasticsearch MCP Server
