MCP Labs

Documentation & live demos

Docs and demos for the Open Knowledge Foundation's work connecting AI assistants to official open datasets through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), built around two goals: accuracy - answers computed from the data, not recalled from training - and traceability - every answer links back to its source.

The Field Guide Coming soon

A practical guide to connecting AI to public information: lessons from our Brazil and Uruguay pilots on how governments and developers can increase accuracy and trust in AI responses.

Documentation
