What is the Kolada MCP server?

Connect Kolada to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Swedish municipality statistics from Kolada API. 6000+ KPIs for all 290 municipalities. The kolada mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Kolada MCP-server kan LLMs ansluta till via lokal installation – och genom den få direkt tillgång till data och statistik för 5 000+ nyckeltal (KPI:er) inom 264 områden (ex. skola, vård, miljö, ekonomi, demokrati o.s.v.) för Sveriges alla kommuner och regioner. Utvecklad av Isak Skogstad, fristående från Kolada/RKA.

Installation

kolada-mcp-server on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • macOS — ** ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows — ** %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • CodeQL — Kontinuerlig kodanalys för säkerhetsbrister
  • GitGuardian — Skannar efter exponerade API-nycklar och hemligheter
  • TruffleHog — Kompletterande secret scanning i commit-historik
  • Dependabot — Automatiska säkerhetsuppdateringar för dependencies
  • API — et får inte användas för att sprida skadlig kod
  • Verktyg — Beskrivning
  • search_kpis — Fritextsökning bland 5 000+ nyckeltal
  • get_kpi — Hämta metadata för ett nyckeltal via ID
  • get_kpis — Hämta flera nyckeltal samtidigt (max 25)
  • get_kpi_groups — Lista tematiska grupper

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Kolada.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Kolada's toolset — macOS, Windows, CodeQL and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by isakskogstad; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
