Hithereiamaliff MCP Datagovmy

Malaysia Open Data MCP

MCP Endpoint: https://mcp.techmavie.digital/datagovmy/mcp

Analytics Dashboard: https://mcp.techmavie.digital/datagovmy/analytics/dashboard

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Malaysia's open data APIs, with tools for datasets, dashboards, DOSM, weather, floods, parquet files, and GTFS transit data.

This is not an official MCP server from the Government of Malaysia, Jabatan Digital Negara, or the Ministry of Digital.

Features

• Unified search across datasets and dashboards
• Live metadata fetching from data-gov-my/datagovmy-meta
• Pure JavaScript parquet parsing with raw, summary, and latest-period modes
• GTFS static and realtime transit tools
• Zero-credential geocoding for GTFS location search
• Built-in analytics endpoints and dashboard

Geocoding

GTFS location search now uses Nominatim (OpenStreetMap) only.

• No Google Maps, GrabMaps, or AWS credentials are required
• The hosted MCP URL works as-is with zero credentials
• Requests are throttled and cached to be friendlier to the public Nominatim service
• Self-hosted operators can optionally set NOMINATIM_CONTACT_EMAIL

Quick Start

Hosted server

Use the hosted endpoint directly:

https://mcp.techmavie.digital/datagovmy/mcp

Example MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "malaysia-opendata": {
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.techmavie.digital/datagovmy/mcp"
    }
  }
}

No API keys or geocoding credentials are needed.

Local Development

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Run the HTTP server in development mode
npm run dev:http

# Build and run the production server locally
npm run build
npm run start:http

# Verify the server
curl http://localhost:8080/health
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Analytics

The hosted server exposes:

• /analytics for JSON stats
• /analytics/tools for tool usage stats
• /analytics/dashboard for the HTML dashboard

Configuration

Core environment variables

Example .env:

GH_PAT=your_github_pat_here
[email protected]
ANALYTICS_RESET_KEY=your_analytics_reset_key_here
ANALYTICS_DIR=/app/data
FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL=your_firebase_database_url_here
FIREBASE_CREDENTIALS_PATH=.credentials/firebase-service-account.json

Nominatim Notes

The server now depends on public Nominatim for GTFS location-name searches. The code includes:

• A custom User-Agent
• Optional email support via NOMINATIM_CONTACT_EMAIL
• Serialized requests with a 1 request/second floor
• Positive and negative result caching

If you expect sustained geocoding traffic, consider self-hosting a compatible geocoder or routing through your own approved service.
