# Singapore MCP by Olano

An MCP server that feeds Singapore open data to your AI client: housing, transport, rail, companies, weather and the economy. Useful when the agent answers questions about the city.

## What it does

The server bridges an AI client and Singapore's official sources: data.gov.sg, OneMap, LTA DataMall and SingStat. Answers carry the source agency, dataset identifier, observation period and units, so you can trace where a number came from. Most tools need no API key.

Under the hood sits the aggregate server `@olano/mcp-singapore` plus focused packages per source: `@olano/mcp-datagov`, `@olano/mcp-onemap`, `@olano/mcp-lta`, `@olano/mcp-weather`, `@olano/mcp-rail-sg`, `@olano/mcp-finance-sg`, `@olano/mcp-analytics` and more. A terminal utility, `@olano/sg-cli`, ships alongside. OneMap and LTA each require their own token; the data.gov.sg key is optional. Everything runs through `npx`, so Node.js 20 or newer has to be on the machine.

This is an independent community project, not a product of the Singapore Government and not endorsed by it. MIT licence.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `DATA_GOV_SG_API_KEY`, `ONEMAP_TOKEN`, `LTA_DATAMALL_API_KEY`, `OLANO_SG_CACHE_DIR`, `OLANO_SG_PROFILE` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## When to use it
- check median HDB resale prices in a given town
- compare price per square metre across two towns
- pull bus arrival and route data from LTA feeds
- verify a company's UEN and entity status in ACRA records
- assemble a district brief with OneMap location context

## Example prompts
- Find the official ACRA records matching `Olano` and show the UEN and entity status
- Find HDB carparks with `Bishan` in the address and group them by carpark type
