CKAN has a web interface that links to these tagged datasets, which are usually semi-structured (CSVs, XLS) or totally unstructured (PDF reports and papers). The server I have implemented runs locally, launched as a subprocess by the client app and uses the stdio streams to pass these protocol messages around. I can envision other MCP clients in the future that could make better use of this data, beyond this basic conversational interface and tackle problems such as backlinks and provenance, while providing more structured, opinionated visualisations and analysis.
