Data Texas

Texas Open Data — US government open data (data.texas.gov) via the Socrata SoQL API: state agencies, lottery, health, licensing, transportation & finance. Keyless.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 940+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
datasets	Search the Texas Open Data catalog of open datasets by keyword. Returns each dataset's resource_id, name, description, category and update date — pass the resource_id to query/metadata.
query	Run a Socrata SoQL query against a Texas Open Data dataset by resource_id (e.g. "54pj-3dxy"). Filter with where/select/group/order (SoQL clauses, without the leading $) plus limit/offset. Returns matching rows as JSON.
metadata	Get a Texas Open Data dataset's schema + metadata (columns, types, row count, category, last-updated) by resource_id, e.g. "54pj-3dxy".

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "data-texas": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-texas/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 940+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Data Texas data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
