EU & Nordic Official Open-Data MCP Servers & Apify Actors (eu-nordic-open-data-mcp)

13 production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk over stdio) and 13 public hosted Apify Actors on the Apify Store (15 tools in total) built on official European Union, Finnish, Norwegian, French and UK government open-data APIs. The unified server (npx -y eu-nordic-open-data-mcp) exposes all 49 tools over stdio.

Every tool shares a single core library (src/lib/*) across its stdio MCP server (src/mcp-server.js) and Apify Actor (src/main.js), and enforces:

1. Strict GDPR Personal-Data Redaction by Design: Organisation-level whitelists strip sole-trader (toiminimi) personal names & residential addresses in VIES VAT checks, c/o names & street addresses in PRH Trade Register records, natural-person contact points in TED procurement notices, and ship master names in Digitraffic port calls.
2. Mandatory Licence & Attribution Envelope: Every output record and MCP tool response (including error responses) embeds the exact legal attribution, licence URL, and reuse notice verified in LICENCE_REGISTER.md and licences.json.
3. Zero Proprietary Exchange Price Data: Power grid tools use 100% CC BY 4.0 Fingrid & FMI physical grid and meteorological datasets (zero Nord Pool or ENTSO-E day-ahead electricity exchange prices).

Independent Open-Source Suite: Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Publications Office of the EU, European Commission, ECB, ENISA, PRH, Fingrid, FMI, Fintraffic, GLEIF, Brønnøysundregistrene, DG TAXUD, Companies House or Insee. Uses no agency or EU logos.

Quickstart 1: Zero-Install Hosted MCP in Claude Desktop & Cursor (@apify/actors-mcp-server)

Add any combination of the 13 hosted actors (all 13 shown below) to your claude_desktop_config.json or .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eu-nordic-open-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@apify/actors-mcp-server",
        "--actors",
        "itulo/ted-tender-feed,itulo/prh-company-events,itulo/eu-sanctions-screen,itulo/fingrid-grid-signals,itulo/fmi-fingrid-nowcast,itulo/fmi-weather-warnings-alerts,itulo/eu-vies-vat-validator,itulo/ecb-fx-rates-macro,itulo/digitraffic-port-calls-marine,itulo/enisa-euvd-vulnerabilities,itulo/eu-safety-gate-alerts,itulo/uk-companies-house-kyb,itulo/france-sirene-company-search"
      ],
      "env": {
        "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Examples: n8n workflows and LangChain / LangGraph

examples/ contains importable n8n workflows (daily EU tender alert by CPV code to email or Slack, Finnish company events to Google Sheets, sanctions screening of a name list) and LangChain / LangGraph examples (MCP adapter agent over src/index.js, plus ApifyActorsTool with the hosted actor). See examples/README.md.

Quickstart 2: Run Locally as Stdio MCP Servers

Clone the repository, install dependencies in any tool folder, and connect directly over stdio:

git clone https://github.com/itulo/eu-nordic-open-data-mcp.git
cd eu-nordic-open-data-mcp/tools/ted-tender-feed
npm install
npm test          # Offline deterministic fixture unit tests (per tool; `npm test` at the repo root runs all 110 tests across 15 tools)
npm run smoke     # Live upstream API verification
npm run mcp       # Start stdio MCP server

Example local claude_desktop_config.json / .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ted-tender-feed": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/eu-nordic-open-data-mcp/tools/ted-tender-feed/src/mcp-server.js"]
    },
    "eu-sanctions-screen": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/eu-nordic-open-data-mcp/tools/eu-sanctions-screen/src/mcp-server.js"]
    },
    "eu-vies-vat-validator": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/eu-nordic-open-data-mcp/tools/eu-vies-vat-validator/src/mcp-server.js"]
    },
    "ecb-fx-rates-macro": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/eu-nordic-open-data-mcp/tools/ecb-fx-rates-macro/src/mcp-server.js"]
    },
    "enisa-euvd-vulnerabilities": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/eu-nordic-open-data-mcp/tools/enisa-euvd-vulnerabilities/src/mcp-server.js"]
    }
  }
}

Quickstart 3: n8n, Make.com & Sync REST API (run-sync-get-dataset-items)

Every actor can be called synchronously as a JSON REST endpoint:

curl -s -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/itulo~ted-tender-feed/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=${APIFY_TOKEN}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cpvCodes":["72000000"],"countries":["FIN","SWE"],"maxResults":5}'
