Endigest AI Core Summary
Google launched a hosted Data Commons MCP server on Google Cloud Platform, removing the need for local Python environments to query public statistical data with AI agents.
•Previously, the Data Commons MCP server required a local Python environment, which was incompatible with high-security settings and lacked scalability
•The hosted service at https://api.datacommons.org/mcp is free and managed by Google, handling versioning, security, and resource management
•AI agents can answer natural language queries like correlating unemployment and obesity rates across U.S. states or ranking GDP of eastern European countries
•Existing Gemini CLI extension users are automatically migrated to the hosted server on next run; no manual action needed
•
New users must obtain a free Data Commons API key and update their MCP configuration to point to the hosted endpoint
