Built on open standards, trusted by data-driven builders

✓ MCP Standard

Your AI agent is data-blind

LLMs are trained on general knowledge. But intelligence about specific regions, demographics, and economic conditions is locked away — scattered across government portals, paywalled databases, and incompatible formats.

🔍

No real-world context

Your agent can reason brilliantly but can't tell you which district has the highest disposable income or where your demographic actually lives — because it doesn't have access to that data.

⚙️

Integration hell

Building data pipelines for each government data source takes months. Each country, each agency, each dataset format requires a custom scraper, cleaner, and parser — before you write a single line of AI logic.

📅

Data goes stale

Public datasets are released sporadically. Keeping up with quarterly Eurostat updates, annual census releases, and monthly economic indicators is a full-time job — not a feature your team should be building.

From question to insight in milliseconds

Three steps. No pipeline. No schema to learn. Your agent speaks — The DataGarden answers.

1

Connect via MCP

Add The DataGarden MCP server to your agent framework. Works with Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, and any MCP-compatible runtime. One config line — done.

# Add to your MCP config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datagarden": {
      "url": "https://mcp.the-datagarden.io",
      "apiKey": "YOUR_KEY"
    }
  }
}

Ask in plain language

Your agent queries The DataGarden using natural language or structured tool calls. No SQL. No schema documentation. Our semantic layer translates intent to data automatically.

# Natural language tool call
tool_result = datagarden.query(
  "retail spending per capita in
   Belgian provinces, 2022-2024"
)

Get structured, cited data

Receive clean JSON with source citations, update timestamps, and geographic context. Your agent can reason over it, visualize it, or pass it directly to your application — no cleaning needed.

# Response is always clean, cited, ready

MCP-native from day one

Model Context Protocol is the emerging industry standard for connecting AI agents to data and tools. Anthropic open-sourced MCP and it was donated to the Linux Foundation AI & Data Foundation in December 2025 — making it a permanent, neutral standard.

Sales territory optimization agent

An autonomous sales planning agent needs to identify the top 20 expansion districts for a new product launch — considering income, competition density, and population age profile simultaneously.

Outcome

Agent queries DataGarden for multi-variable regional ranking. Produces a ranked territory list with rationale in under 2 minutes — a task that previously took a analyst 2 weeks and a data engineering sprint.

// Agent tool call example
const territories = await datagarden.query({
  question: "Top 20 NUTS-3 regions in Spain for premium pet food launch",
  filters: {
    income_min: 35000,
    age_25_54_pct_min: 28,
    pet_ownership_proxy: "high"
  }
});

// → 20 ranked regions, cited, ready to act on

Location intelligence platform

A B2B SaaS product needs to enrich user-submitted locations with rich socioeconomic context — instantly and at scale. Users drop a pin; the platform explains the neighborhood.

Outcome

DataGarden API enriches each location with 40+ data points in under 100ms. No data warehouse. No ETL. The product team ships geo-intelligence features in days instead of quarters.

// Enrich any lat/lng in one call
const context = await datagarden.enrich({
  lat: 48.8566,
  lng: 2.3522,
  themes: ["demographics", "economics", "retail"]
});

// → {population, income, age_profile, stores_nearby, ...}

Automated market research reports

A strategy consultancy builds an AI system to auto-generate market entry reports. It needs data on demographics, consumer spending, competitor presence, and regulatory context for any European market.

Outcome

DataGarden feeds the research agent with consistent, citable data across all 195+ countries. What used to take a junior analyst 3 days now takes the agent 8 minutes, with full source citations for the report.

// Multi-country comparison in one query
const report = await datagarden.compare({
  question: "Market attractiveness for organic food across Benelux NUTS-2",
  output: "ranked_table",
  include_citations: true
});

// → Fully cited, ready for report inclusion

Common questions

What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard developed by Anthropic that allows AI agents to securely connect to external data sources and tools. It's now maintained by the Linux Foundation AI & Data Foundation, with 97M+ monthly SDK downloads and support from all major AI providers. The DataGarden implements MCP natively, so your agent gets access to real-world data without custom integration code.

Which agent frameworks are compatible?

Any framework that supports MCP: Claude (Anthropic), OpenAI assistants, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, AutoGen, and custom agents using the MCP SDK. We also provide a REST API for frameworks that don't yet support MCP natively.

How fresh is the data?

Data is automatically refreshed when source agencies publish updates. Most economic indicators update quarterly; demographic data updates annually; environmental and some retail data updates more frequently. Every response includes an updated field with the exact publication date of each source.

Can I query in languages other than English?

Yes. The DataGarden's semantic layer understands queries in all major European languages including French, German, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, and Polish. Responses are always returned in structured JSON with English field names for consistency.

Is the data licensed for commercial use?

All data in The DataGarden is sourced from public sector bodies with open data licenses (Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, national statistics offices). Our platform license allows commercial use. Every response includes source citations so your downstream use cases remain transparent.

What if I need data not yet in the catalog?

We onboard new sources on request. On the Scale/Enterprise plan, we can ingest custom data pipelines within agreed timelines. Contact us with your requirements and we'll assess feasibility within 48 hours.
