Ask with this source

A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.

  • Dataset detail

    Use Offene Behördendaten der Schweiz (opendata-swiss) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Dataset detail" (dataset). You already have a dataset name or UUID from a search and need its resources, licence or full description. Example options: id=kuenstlernamen-aus-sikart-lexikon-zur-kunst-in-der-schweiz. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "opendata-swiss" and capability "dataset". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • Dataset as DCAT-AP JSON-LD

    Use Offene Behördendaten der Schweiz (opendata-swiss) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Dataset as DCAT-AP JSON-LD" (dataset-dcat). You are feeding a European data catalogue or an RDF pipeline and want standards-shaped metadata instead of CKAN's package dict. Example options: id=kuenstlernamen-aus-sikart-lexikon-zur-kunst-in-der-schweiz. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "opendata-swiss" and capability "dataset-dcat". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • All dataset names

    Use Offene Behördendaten der Schweiz (opendata-swiss) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "All dataset names" (dataset-names). You want the complete inventory of dataset ids to iterate over, rather than a scored search page. Example options: limit=100, offset=0. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "opendata-swiss" and capability "dataset-names". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>

  • Dataset search

    Use Offene Behördendaten der Schweiz (opendata-swiss) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Dataset search" (datasets). You want to find datasets on this portal by keyword, filter, or recency, and you do not already know a dataset id. Example options: q=statistika, fq=res_format:CSV, sort=metadata_modified desc. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "opendata-swiss" and capability "datasets". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
