ckan_package_searchSearch for datasets (packages) on a CKAN server using Solr query syntax. Supports full Solr search capabilities including filters, facets, and sorting. Use this to discover datasets matching specific criteria. Note on parser behavior: Some CKAN portals use a restrictive default query parser that c
ckan_find_relevant_datasetsFind and rank datasets by relevance to a query using weighted fields. Use this instead of ckan_package_search when you want relevance-ranked results with explicit scoring across title, notes, tags, and organization fields. Use ckan_package_search instead when you need Solr filter syntax, facets, or
ckan_package_showGet complete metadata for a specific dataset (package). Returns full details including resources, organization, tags, and all metadata fields. Notes: - metadata_modified is a CKAN record timestamp (publish time on source portals, harvest time on aggregators), not the content date. - issued
ckan_list_resourcesList all resources in a dataset with a compact summary. Returns a focused table of resources showing format, size, DataStore availability, and download URL. Use this to quickly assess what files a dataset contains before deciding how to access the data. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of C
ckan_organization_listList all organizations on a CKAN server. Organizations are entities that publish and manage datasets. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of CKAN server - all_fields (boolean): Return full objects vs just names (default: false) - sort (string): Sort field (default: "name asc") - limit (n
ckan_organization_showGet details of a specific organization.

ckan_organization_searchSearch for organizations by name pattern. This tool provides a simpler interface than package_search for finding organizations. Wildcards are automatically added around the search pattern. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of CKAN server - pattern (string): Search pattern (e.g., "toscana",
ckan_datastore_searchQuery data from a CKAN DataStore resource. The DataStore allows SQL-like queries on tabular data. Not all resources have DataStore enabled. The response always includes a Fields section listing all available column names and types. Use limit=0 to discover column names without fetching data — do th
ckan_datastore_search_sqlRun SQL queries on a CKAN DataStore resource. This endpoint is only available on CKAN portals with DataStore enabled and SQL access exposed. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of CKAN server - sql (string): SQL query (e.g., SELECT * FROM "resource_id" LIMIT 10) - response_format ('markdow
ckan_status_showCheck if a CKAN server is available and get version information. Useful to verify server accessibility before making other requests. Also shows the count of High-Value Datasets (HVD) when the portal supports it. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of CKAN server Returns: Server status, vers
ckan_tag_listList tags from a CKAN server using faceting. This returns tag names with counts, optionally filtered by dataset query or tag substring. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of CKAN server - q (string): Dataset search query (default: "*:*") - fq (string): Filter query (optional) - tag_quer
ckan_group_listList all groups on a CKAN server. Groups are thematic collections of datasets. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of CKAN server - all_fields (boolean): Return full objects vs just names (default: false) - sort (string): Sort field (default: "name asc") - limit (number): Maximum results
ckan_group_showGet details of a specific group.

ckan_group_searchSearch for groups by name pattern. This tool provides a simpler interface than package_search for finding groups. Wildcards are automatically added around the search pattern. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of CKAN server - pattern (string): Search pattern (e.g., "energia", "salute") -
ckan_get_mqa_qualityGet MQA (Metadata Quality Assessment) quality score for a dataset on dati.gov.it from data.europa.eu. Returns the final score on the 0-7.5 scale of MQA methodology v2 with its band (Sufficient/Good/Excellent), dataset, distribution and data service scores, and the failing metrics with the largest ga
ckan_get_mqa_quality_detailsGet detailed MQA (Metadata Quality Assessment) quality reasons for a dataset on dati.gov.it. Lists every failing metric grouped by FAIR dimension, with DCAT-AP property, weight, how many distributions fail it and its gain on the final score, plus the HTTP status of failing URL tests (e.g. 1100 timeo
ckan_analyze_datasetsSearch datasets and inspect the DataStore schema of queryable resources. For each dataset found, lists all resources. For DataStore-enabled resources, fetches the full field schema (name, type, and label/notes when available) plus total record count — all in one call. Use this before ckan_datastor
ckan_catalog_statsGet a statistical overview of a CKAN portal: total dataset count and breakdown by category, format, and organization. Single CKAN call (package_search with rows=0 and facets). No query needed. Args: - server_url (string): Base URL of the CKAN server - facet_limit (number): Max entries per face
