MCP-Dubai
Dubai and UAE public data and business setup knowledge for MCP clients.
خادم MCP للبيانات العامة في دبي والإمارات وللمعرفة العملية لتأسيس الأعمال
Quick start · Tools · Configuration · Data freshness · Development · Latest audit
MCP-Dubai is a Model Context Protocol server that connects AI assistants to public APIs, bundled reference datasets, and curated business knowledge. It runs locally over stdio and returns structured results with source and freshness metadata where available.
The current source includes 120 tools across 37 features:
112 tools require no credentials. Two air-quality tools need a free WAQI token; six government dataset tools need OAuth credentials and dataset access. Credential-free tools can still depend on an unavailable upstream service; see availability and limitations.
Quick start
Run the current source
Requires Python 3.11 or newer and Git. The October 13 audit tested Python 3.11 through 3.14.
git clone https://github.com/mahdi-salmanzade/MCP-Dubai.git
cd MCP-Dubai
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -e .On Windows PowerShell, create the environment with py -m venv .venv and activate it with .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1.
Configure your MCP client to launch the environment's Python executable:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dubai": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/MCP-Dubai/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_dubai"]
}
}
}Replace command with your actual absolute path. On Windows, use the environment's .venv\Scripts\python.exe path, escaping backslashes in JSON.
For VS Code, use .vscode/mcp.json with a servers key:
{
"servers": {
"dubai": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/MCP-Dubai/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_dubai"]
}
}
}For another MCP client, use the same command and arguments in its stdio server settings. After connecting, call about() to check the running version and tool count, then recommend_tools(query) to find relevant tools.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
