MCP.Pizza Chef: datagouv
This connector links your AI assistant directly to France's national open data platform, data.gouv.fr, so you can ask about public datasets in plain conversation instead of digging through the website yourself. It works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and several other apps, using a ready-made web address you can add in minutes. No account or key is required to use the shared public version, so you can start asking questions right away.

README
datagouv-mcp FAQ
Can I use this to find housing price data for a French city?
Yes — you can ask in plain language, such as "What are the latest home prices in Lyon?", and it will search data.gouv.fr's published datasets and summarize what it finds.
Can I use this to research population statistics for France?
Yes — you can ask for population figures, demographic trends, or other public statistics, and it will pull the relevant datasets and explain them in everyday terms.
Which apps can I use this with?
It works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf, among others, so you can add it to whichever assistant you already use.
Do I need an account or a special key to use it?
No — the shared public version, hosted at data.gouv.fr's own address, is open to everyone, so you can connect and start asking questions without signing up for anything.
How hard is it to set up?
It is a short copy-and-paste step — you add a small block of text to your assistant's settings, and there is nothing to install or build yourself.
Do I need to speak French to use it?
No — you can ask your questions in English or French, and it will search the French datasets and reply in whichever language you used.
Will it work with AI assistants other than ChatGPT?
Yes — it works the same way with Claude, Gemini, and other MCP-compatible assistants, not just one provider.
Can it only answer questions about France?
Yes — it is built specifically around data.gouv.fr, France's national open data platform, so its answers are limited to French public datasets.
