La Réunion Open Data MCP server
by Hug0x0
Ask your AI about La Réunion: population, schools, transport, health, elections and more, from public open data.
This is a helper that connects your AI to public open data about La Réunion, the French overseas region. It pulls from the regional open data portal and from data.gouv.fr. It is handy if you work on local reports, studies, journalism or public projects about the island.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app or service. This one connects your AI to La Réunion open data, so it can look up figures and lists for you. You just ask in normal words, and the helper fetches the data behind the scenes.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a question about La Réunion, like how many people live in a commune or which schools are nearby. Your AI passes that question to this helper. The helper talks to the regional open data portal (and sometimes data.gouv.fr) and pulls the matching records. Then your AI turns those records into a clear answer for you. It can also search the whole catalog of about 270 datasets when a topic has no ready-made tool.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Look up population, income and poverty figures for a commune or neighborhood
- Find schools, middle schools and lycées, including priority-education ones
- Check transport data like Car Jaune stops, road traffic and cycling routes
- See health facilities, health professionals and COVID statistics
- Read 2022 and 2024 election results for the island
- Explore tourism spots, hiking trails and classified accommodations
- Search any of the ~270 open datasets on the regional portal
Try asking your AI
- “How many people live in Saint-Denis and how has that changed?”
- “Compare schools and businesses in Le Tampon and Saint-Paul.”
- “Show me the 2024 European election results for La Réunion.”
- “What hiking trails and canyoning routes are listed near Cilaos?”
What it gives back to you
You get answers in plain language in the chat, often with tables or short lists. It can return numbers, names, addresses, dates and short summaries. For bigger questions it may show a few rows of the underlying data. If you ask it to compare places, it gives a side-by-side view.
Before you start
What you need
- The Claude desktop app or another app that supports MCP servers
- Node.js 20 or newer installed on your computer
- An internet connection (the data comes from public portals, no account needed)
Good to know
The data comes from public sources and is mostly in French, so figures may be incomplete or out of date, and it is best to double-check important numbers before using them in official work.
