Install Open Data in Claude Code

What you need first

Claude Code, installed.
Nothing else: the server runs on its publisher's machines and Claude Code connects to it.
Your own value for YOUR_AUTHORIZATION.

Steps

Run this in a terminal, in the project folder. It adds the server for you in that project; put --scope user after claude mcp add to have it in every project.

claude mcp add --transport http open-data-mcp 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=dataandbeyond/eu-company-verify,dataandbeyond/dk-statistics,dataandbeyond/scholar-search,dataandbeyond/pubmed-search,dataandbeyond/eu-tenders,dataandbeyond/france-company-search,dataandbeyond/nordic-company-registry,dataandbeyond/clinical-trials,dataandbeyond/vin-decoder-recalls,dataandbeyond/weather-forecast' --header 'Authorization: YOUR_AUTHORIZATION'

Replace YOUR_AUTHORIZATION with your own value.
Start Claude Code and type /mcp: the server is listed with its state.

Check it worked

Ask Claude Code: List the tools of open-data-mcp.

If it does not start

401 Unauthorized: The endpoint wants a sign-in or a key. Sign in when Claude Code asks, or check the value in place of the placeholder.
The server starts, but its tools fail: A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.
