`search_datasets`

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

Search the data.gov.sg dataset catalog by keyword (e.g. “rainfall”, “hawker centres”, “resale flat prices”) — real text search via data.gov.sg’s own site search, since the official v2 catalog API has none. Returns matching COLLECTIONS (topics that may bundle several datasets, e.g. one per year) with each dataset’s real dataset_id for get_dataset / query_dataset. Omit query to browse the raw catalog unfiltered instead, paged 10/page (~4,600 datasets total).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Keyword search, e.g. “rainfall”, “COE prices”, “population”. Omit to browse unfiltered.
`page`	number	no	1-based page (10 results per page either way)
