Taiwan data MCP Hub

MCP is the open protocol for AI agents — Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes, your own agent loop. Twinkle Hub bundles Taiwan data sources behind a single MCP endpoint — set your client up once, AI can query datasets, run SQL, and call tools.

✨ One-paste install

Paste this to Claude — it'll set up the MCP for you

Add Twinkle Hub to my Claude Desktop. Edit
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
(Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json).

Merge in this block:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "twinkle-hub": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.twinkleai.tw/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <I'll paste from https://hub.twinkleai.tw/dashboard>"
      }
    }
  }
}

If an mcpServers block already exists, merge — don't overwrite.
Then ask me to restart Claude and list the 5 new opendata-* tools.

Also works in Cursor / Claude Code / any MCP client. Full install paths in /docs.

🎁 Free during alpha: all tools, no monthly cap, no rate limits (within fair-use).

Plus your own — MCP is an open protocol.

Why this exists

Taiwan data is scattered across 100+ portals.
AI app builders don't have time to wire each one.

Twinkle Hub bundles them into a single MCP service: discover datasets, fetch rows, join across tables, pay — all on one endpoint. Phase one is making data.gov.tw excellent; more sources (industry associations, local governments, commercial data) come next.

01

One MCP endpoint

Every source, every domain, every tool under the same URL. Configure your client once.

02

Deterministic billing

Fixed price per tool — no token-based gambling. Prepaid wallet, hard cutoff, no surprise bills.

03

License compliance

Original license metadata is passed through end-to-end so downstream apps don't trip license terms.

04

MCP-native protocol

tools/list / tools/call are native endpoints, not OpenAI tool-calling translated. Claude / Cursor / OpenClaw / Hermes / Continue / Cline / your own agent loop — same wire format, no SDK, no adapter.

Why Twinkle Hub

Downloading 53,000 datasets is easy. Making them usable to AI is the hard part.

Making Taiwan open data usable to AI isn't a one-off catalog download. We handle the cleanup, conversion, classification, and querying — your AI just calls the API instead of crawling a hundred different portals.

52,960 / 19

53,000 datasets, sorted automatically

All 52,960 datasets on data.gov.tw, sorted into 19 categories. New ones land in the right place the next day — the index never ages out.

10+ formats

All the file formats, one shape

CSV, JSON, Excel, PDF, geo files — whatever the format, we read it and clean up the column names. Your AI doesn't choke just because one source is PDF and another is XLSX.

~50 ms

Ask a question, answer in 50 ms

Want your AI to query data on specific conditions? We have a query layer — about 50 ms across all 53,000 datasets. We don't dump a zip and tell you to process it yourself.

Daily refresh

Synced with the government every day

A daily cron pulls the latest catalog, picks up what's new or retired, runs classification. The data stays fresh — it doesn't go stale because we forgot to update.

Beyond the data

Two things we wired up alongside

OpenData is the main course. These two also matter for agents — we did them too.

32 TW utility tools

Your local model won't hallucinate Taiwanese addresses

Open-weights models are unreliable on Taiwan-specific tasks — wrong tax-ID checksums, made-up street numbers, garbled agency names. Twinkle Hub's 32 TW utility tools are deterministic functions — pass an address in, get a normalised address + district code + postcode out. No model guessing.

BYO MCP connectors

Notion / Sentry / n8n etc — install in your local client

These run in your local Claude Desktop / Cursor, tokens stay on your machine — twinkle-hub never collects, stores, or proxies them. We just ship the install guide + a one-click JSON snippet. You own the whole path.

Who it's for

Three roles, three paths

AI user

Paste a prompt into Claude — start querying Taiwan data

No code. Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, OpenClaw, Continue, Cline — any MCP-aware client. Paste the prompt from the homepage and the AI sets itself up.

User docs

Developer

Bake the data into your AI app

curl / fastmcp Python / your own agent — call it any way you like, with transparent per-request billing you can audit.

Dev docs

Self-host / open-weights

OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, or your own agent loop

Full local / self-host stack: vLLM, SGLang, Ollama running your model; OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, or your own loop running the agent; Twinkle Hub feeding it Taiwan data. No commercial inference provider in the path. Our MCP endpoint is open at the protocol level — change one URL and you're gone.
