Malaysia Open Data MCP Server provides access to Malaysia's government open data repositories, enabling retrieval of public datasets, statistical information, weather forecasts, and transportation data from agencies including the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) and Data Catalogue Malaysia. Key features: - Unified search across government datasets with intelligent query handling, term normalization, and synonym expansion for flexible discovery - Parquet file parsing support with BROTLI compression, intelligent date handling, and retrieval of up to 500 rows per query - Multi-provider geocoding optimized for Malaysian addresses via GrabMaps, Google Maps, and Nominatim with automatic fallback between services - Access to real-time weather forecasts and warnings, public transport GTFS data, interactive visualization dashboards, and rich dataset metadata - Hybrid architecture combining pre-generated static indexes for fast search operations with dynamic API calls for detailed information retrieval

AI Integration

When integrating this MCP server with AI models:

1. Use the unified search tool first - Always start with search_all for any data queries 2. Follow the correct URL patterns - Use https://data.gov.my/... and https://open.dosm.gov.my/... 3. Leverage Parquet file tools - Use parse_parquet_file to access data directly or get_parquet_info for metadata 4. Use the hybrid approach - Static indexes for listing/searching, API calls for details 5. Consider dashboard visualization - For complex data, use the dashboard links provided by find_dashboard_for_parquet 6. Leverage the multi-provider Malaysian geocoding - For Malaysian location queries, the system automatically selects the best provider (GrabMaps, Google Maps, or Nominatim) with fallback to Nominatim when no API keys are configured

Refer to PROMPT.md for comprehensive AI integration guidelines.

#### Using Your Own API Keys

You can provide your own API keys via URL query parameters:

https://mcp.techmavie.digital/datagovmy/mcp?googleMapsApiKey=YOUR_KEY

Or via headers:

Supported Query Parameters:

| Parameter | Description | |-----------|-------------| | googleMapsApiKey | Google Maps API key for geocoding | | grabMapsApiKey | GrabMaps API key for Southeast Asia geocoding | | awsAccessKeyId | AWS Access Key ID for AWS Location Service | | awsSecretAccessKey | AWS Secret Access Key | | awsRegion | AWS Region (default: ap-southeast-5) |

> ⚠️ Important: GrabMaps Requirements > > To use GrabMaps geocoding, you need ALL FOUR parameters: > - grabMapsApiKey > - awsAccessKeyId > - awsSecretAccessKey > - awsRegion > > GrabMaps uses AWS Location Service under the hood, so AWS credentials are re
