Summary
Connects Claude to Israel's national open data portal via the CKAN API. You get two core operations: listing government organizations (ministries, agencies) and browsing thematic data groups. Useful when you need to explore what datasets the Israeli government publishes or want to navigate the catalog structure before pulling specific data. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either use it standalone or access it alongside 250+ other data sources through their unified endpoint. The ask_pipeworx wrapper lets you query in natural language instead of calling tools directly, which speeds up exploratory work.

data.gov.il MCP — Israel national open-data portal (CKAN API).
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_datasets | Search the data.gov.il catalogue (CKAN package_search). Returns matching datasets with titles/descriptions (mostly Hebrew). Query may be Hebrew or English. |
dataset_details | Full dataset record by id or slug (CKAN package_show), including its resources. Read each resource's "id" (resource_id) and "datastore_active" flag to know which can be queried row-by-row via datastore_query. |
datastore_query | Read actual table rows from a resource via CKAN datastore_search. Works only for resources with datastore_active=true (get the resource_id from dataset_details). Field names and values are often Hebrew (UTF-8). |
list_organizations | List publishing organizations (ministries/agencies) on data.gov.il (CKAN organization_list). |
list_groups | List thematic groups/categories on data.gov.il (CKAN group_list). |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"datagov-il": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/datagov-il/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/datagov-il/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Datagov Il data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
