Pack: data-boston · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-boston/mcp

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/boston_query for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Query any City of Boston datastore resource (data.boston.gov, CKAN) by its resource id (a UUID). Supports a free-text q, exact-match filters (field→value), sort (“field desc”), limit and offset. Use boston_datasets to find a resource id, or boston_recent for the common ones.
