MCP CKAN Plugin Example

This is an example of a MCP CKAN Plugin that register tools to answer data based on Open Data.

How to create a MCP Plugin

1. Init a package repository:

uv init --package mcp-ckan-exampleplugin

2. Define a register_tools(mcp) function that register tools in a MCP Server:

def register_tools(mcp):
    @mcp.tool()
    def greetings_from_examplepythontools():
        return "Hello from mcp_ckan_examplepythontools!"

3. Register a new mcp_ckan entrypoint in the pyproject.toml file that calls the register_tools function.

[project.entry-points."mcp_ckan"]
mcp-ckan-examplepythontools = "mcp_ckan_examplepythontools:register_tools"

4. Install it in the same virtual environment as your server.

uv pip install "git+https://github.com/okfn/mcp-ckan"
uv pip install "git+https://github.com/okfn/mcp-ckan-examplepythontools"
uv run mcp-ckan
