Overview

What is Mcp Server To Control Openrefine?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a typed, discoverable interface to OpenRefine’s HTTP API. It lets any MCP-capable client, such as Claude Desktop, orchestrate data-cleaning pipelines safely and reproducibly.

How to use Mcp Server To Control Openrefine?

Frequently asked questions

1

What is the purpose of Mcp Server To Control Openrefine?

It exposes OpenRefine's HTTP API as MCP tools and resources, enabling AI agents and other MCP clients to interact with OpenRefine programmatically.

2

What are the prerequisites for running the server?

Python 3.13 or higher, the `uv` package manager, and a running OpenRefine instance (default URL `http://localhost:3333`).

3

How do I set it up with Claude Desktop?

Create or edit the Claude Desktop configuration file to add an MCP server entry that runs `uv run openrefine_mcp/openrefine_server.py` from the project directory, setting the `OPENREFINE_URL` environment variable.

4

Which OpenRefine API endpoints are implemented?

The server implements `create-project-from-upload`, `get-models`, `apply-operations`, `export-rows`, and `delete-project`. Endpoints like `set-project-metadata`, `set-project-tags`, `get-all-project-metadata`, `preview-expression`, and `get-processes` are not implemented.

5

Are all OpenRefine features available through this server?

No. The server implements a subset of the OpenRefine API. The README explicitly lists several endpoints as not implemented (marked with ❌).
