The official Model Context Protocol server published by the French government — a sovereign, structured gateway from AI assistants to data.gouv.fr.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard, originally proposed by Anthropic, that lets an AI model query an external data source through a unified interface — no scraping, no bespoke integration.
By publishing its own MCP, the French state offers AI agents a direct, authoritative route to data.gouv.fr, the national open-data portal: thousands of public datasets covering the economy, demographics, geography, mobility, health, the environment, and more.
The practical impact: an agent's answers are grounded in real, verifiable government data instead of model memory — and that data stays under French public-service governance.
