Cern Opendata MCP Server

Assemble what is needed to analyse a record: its container images, CMSSW release and global tag; the condition-data, VM and validated-run records for its run periods; example software that declares it works with the record; and quoted sections of the guides the record links (the first two are fetched). Container images, software and guide code are licensed separately from the CC0 data. Use cern_opendata_list_files for the record's files.

Fetch full metadata for 1-20 records in one call, by recid, DOI, CMS dataset path (/Primary/Era/TIER) or documentation slug. Returns the description, run periods, collision and distribution details, related records, a software-environment summary, the license and a ready citation, plus what a record states of its variable dictionary, physics category, pile-up, keywords, and LHCb magnet polarity and stripping. Documentation and news pages include their markdown body in slices of at most 30,000 characters; body_offset with that one id reads on from where a slice stops. Each response holds to 64,000 bytes, except that the first record always comes back whole: records past the budget, and ids past the first 20, are listed under deferred, to pass back as ids. File lists are not included; use cern_opendata_list_files. Identifiers that do not resolve come back under missing with guidance; they do not fail the call.

Get a CMS validated-run (good-run) list, which certifies the luminosity sections that are good for physics in each run. Select it by a CMS collision dataset recid, a validated-run list recid, or a run period such as Run2012B (give exactly one of recid and run_period). Choose the full validation or the muons-only variant, and narrow to a run range; a dataset recid defaults the range to the first and last run the dataset lists. Returns the runs with their luminosity-section ranges and the list file download URL. CMS only.

List one record's files: its file indexes (groups of up to ~1,500 files) with their XRootD URI-list URLs, and per file the XRootD URI, HTTPS download URL, size, adler32 checksum and availability. Without index, returns the record's indexes and its regular files; with index, reads only that index and pages through its files. Files marked on demand sit on tape and must be requested on the record's portal page before download.

Decode the vocabulary the other cern_opendata tools accept: experiments, record types, collision energies and types, file formats and data tiers, availability states, physics categories, LHCb magnet polarities and stripping streams and versions, identifier forms, query syntax, licensing, and the CMS run periods that have validated-run lists. Static and offline; omit topic for every table.

Search the CERN Open Data Portal's datasets, software, environments, documentation and supplementary records with exact-vocabulary filters and an optional full-text query. The filters are experiment, record type, physics category, keyword, collision energy and type, file format, data-taking year, event count, availability, collection, and LHCb magnet polarity, stripping stream and stripping version. Returns compact hits with recids plus live facet counts. Each facet ignores its own filter, so its counts show the alternatives under the other filters. Filter values are exact upstream; common spellings are normalized, and cern_opendata_list_reference lists the vocabulary. Paging reaches the first 10,000 matches.

Look up CMS High-Level Trigger paths by exact name (HLT_IsoMu24) or prefix pattern (HLT_IsoMu*), optionally for one data-taking year. Paths outside the HLT_ family, such as AlCa_EcalPi0, DST_ and DQM_ paths, output modules and HLTriggerFinalPath, are found by their own names, in the case given. Each match is a per-year path record parsed into the primary datasets its title names, the first and last run the path was seen online, per-version run ranges, the L1 seed, and links to the HLT menu records. Covers CMS open data from 2011-2016. Prescale factors are not returned: each HLT menu record holds a configuration file (cern_opendata_list_files with a menu_recid) whose PrescaleService block lists the prescale in each column of every path it prescales (a path it leaves out has prescale 1), and the CMS luminosity records (collection CMS-Luminosity-Information) hold prescale files that log which column applied by run and luminosity section.
