Data (data.gov) for agents: Search datagov — through Unbrowse's scoped MCP for data.gov (unofficial), which replays data.gov's own first-party API (no browser, verified results)...
Data as tools for your agent. Unofficial: not affiliated with or endorsed by data.gov. Unbrowse compiled these from data.gov's own requests: each call replays the site's first-party API server-side and returns a verified result. No scraping of rendered pages, no browser on your side, no data.gov API key.
This server is a tool scope holding only data.gov: its compiled tools plus the Unbrowse tools that run them, so the agent's tool list stays small and every call stays on data.gov.

The first connect signs in to Unbrowse with OAuth (free tier, only verified results count). For scripts, send Authorization: Bearer $UNBROWSE_API_KEY (key from https://unbrowse.ai/app/keys; keep it in a secret manager, never in config you commit).
If none of the tools below are in this session's tool list, the server is not connected or not signed in: say so and stop. Do not fetch data.gov some other way and present it as this skill's result.
catalog_data_gov__get_root — Search datagovSearch datagov. Inputs: query. Also takes the site's own parameters, each optional (left out, the recorded value is sent): sort (recorded: "relevance"). Returns the page's title, readable text and links. Read-only on catalog.data.gov.
query (string, required) — query (typed during “fill Search Data.gov...”)sort (string) — optional, e.g. "relevance"select (array) — Keep only these parts of the result: dots walk keys, [] maps over a list, a final {a,b} keeps several keys (e.g. "results[].{title,url}"). Unmatched paths come back in selectMissing.{"query":"<query>"}
Always there too: unbrowse_run (a task on data.gov in plain words), unbrowse_inspect, unbrowse_resume, unbrowse_scrape and unbrowse_map (any page on data.gov), and the recorded cloud browser unbrowse_browse_open → unbrowse_browse_act → unbrowse_browse_finish. Hosts that reject dotted names show them with _ (unbrowse_run).
status. succeeded carries the verified result. input_required is not a failure: answer the open fields with unbrowse_resume {runId, answers} on the same run.unbrowse_run {task}. It fails with no_capability when nothing is compiled for that yet: do it once with unbrowse_browse_open on data.gov → unbrowse_browse_act → unbrowse_browse_finish, which compiles a new tool this server lists next time. Anything off data.gov is refused here (not_in_scope): use the general Unbrowse server for that.unbrowse_browse_act with action: "autofill" fills data.gov's login from their Unbrowse password manager.succeeded result says. outcome_unknown means a change may have happened: check before retrying. Posting, buying, sending or deleting needs the user's go-ahead.Every tool is also a REST call:
curl -s https://unbrowse.ai/api/v1/sites/catalog.data.gov/call/catalog_data_gov__get_root \
-H "authorization: Bearer $UNBROWSE_API_KEY" -H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"<query>"}'
