DataWorks Commons

Build

Build on trusted civic data.

The same community-governed data behind the DataWorks Commons, available for your own products. Connect by API, plug it into your organization's AI over MCP, and build on a foundation you can rely on.

What you can build with

The tools

API access

A REST API over the full DataWorks Commons: the same endpoints and response shapes as Google Data Commons, plus the DataWorks local indicators on top. Pull observations, rankings, and place data straight into your application.

MCP server

Give your organization's own AI models a live connection to the DataWorks Commons. The instance hosts Google Data Commons' Model Context Protocol server, so your assistants query civic data directly, with sources, just like the DataWorks Commons chat does.
