An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing AI-powered access to **Open Data from the City of Zurich, Switzerland**.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Zurich Opendata MCP MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing AI-powered access to Open Data from the City of Zurich, Switzerland.
The server publishes 4 tools. What each one is for:
Demo — The Demo tool exposed by this serverPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverGeodata — The Geodata tool exposed by this serverTourism — The Tourism tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
mcp[cli] 2.x — installed automatically; the server uses the 2.x API (mcp.server.mcpserver) and cannot run on mcp 1.x > Use 0.6.0 or newer. Release 0.5.1 declared mcp[cli]>=1.28.1 with no > upper bound. Once mcp 2.0.0 removed mcp.server.fastmcp, every fresh > install of 0.5.1 resolved to 2.0.0 and failed at import with > ModuleNotFoundError.This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Zurich Opendata MCP's toolset — Demo, Prerequisites, Geodata and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by malkreide; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
