What This Skill Does
Baselight MCP connects AI tools and IDEs to 50+ structured dataset sources via the Model Context Protocol. Users discover datasets, inspect schemas, and run live SQL queries against sources like Kaggle, World Bank, FRED, SEC filings, and crypto markets without leaving their AI client.
Gives AI tools direct SQL access to 50+ curated data sources without manual downloads or separate API integrations for each provider.
When to use it
- Querying FRED for US unemployment trends over the past decade
- Pulling SEC filings to compare a company's annual revenue
- Analyzing NFLverse stats for fantasy football lineup decisions
- Fetching World Bank GDP data for a country comparison report
- Running SQL on Polymarket data to track prediction market outcomes
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: What were US unemployment rates for the past 5 years?
- 1Searches available datasets matching 'unemployment'
- 2Identifies the relevant FRED table and inspects its schema
- 3Runs SQL: SELECT date, value FROM @fred.unemployment.monthly WHERE date >= '2021-01-01' ORDER BY date
- 4Returns results alongside the SQL query and notes on data freshness
A table of monthly US unemployment rates from 2021 to present with the SQL query included
