datascoop-mcp

datascoop-mcp

The DataScoop MCP server for AI agents, as an npm command. DataScoop serves official public datasets as filtered rows: UK food hygiene ratings, Scotland FHIS, CQC care providers, the UK charity register, US restaurant inspections, US building permits, and more as they are added.

Most clients can use the hosted endpoint directly (no install): https://datascoop.io/mcp (Streamable HTTP). This package is a zero-dependency stdio bridge for clients that only launch local commands.
