Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant query Baselight's public catalog of 70,000+ datasets covering finance, demographics, sports and more.

What you can do
  • Search and query Baselight's public dataset catalog of 70,000+ datasets.
  • Find data across domains such as finance, demographics and sports.
  • No tool list is published, so exact query and retrieval capabilities are not documented.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to look up public datasets or data points across finance, demographics, sports and similar topics without leaving the conversation.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint at api.baselight.app over streamable HTTP. Requires a Baselight API key, sent in the x-api-key header, generated from the account settings on the Baselight website. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The server requires an API key passed in the x-api-key header; treat it as a secret and check how the provider stores and bills for usage. Queries and any data requested are sent to Baselight's servers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Baselight in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect x-api-key credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.baselight%2Fbaselight/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Tools

This server asks for a credential such as an API key, so SourceWeft could not read its tools without one and has not indexed them.

Score

39% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
