US DOT Open Data MCP
A community MCP server that provides access to US Department of Transportation open data via the Socrata SoQL API. It exposes three tools: datasets to search the catalog, query to run SoQL queries against specific datasets, and metadata to retrieve schema and metadata for datasets. It allows agents to retrieve transportation, safety, and mobility data without authentication.
