Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect CKAN to my app?
Use Weavz Hosted Connect for Custom authentication. Install the SDK, create a connection through the connect portal or API, then execute tools programmatically.
What tools does CKAN support?
CKAN supports 8 tools including Search Datasets, Get Dataset, Get Resource, Search Datastore, Search Datastore SQL, and more.
Can I use CKAN with AI agents?
Yes. Add CKAN to an MCP server in Tool Mode or Code Mode. Code Mode provides 3 meta-tools with on-demand API discovery so agents can compose stateful workflows without loading every action schema up front.
How do I connect CKAN to ChatGPT or Claude?
Open the Weavz connector setup, sign in, choose a workspace, and add CKAN as an approved app. ChatGPT, Claude, and other remote MCP clients can then call the scoped CKAN tools exposed by that workspace.
Does CKAN work with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and local agents?
Yes. Remote and local MCP clients can connect to a Weavz MCP endpoint for the workspace. Local coding agents can also use the Weavz CLI to inspect apps, discover actions, run approved CKAN work, and execute Code Mode workflows from a terminal.
What can I ask an AI agent to do with CKAN?
CKAN exposes 8 tools, including Search Datasets, Get Dataset, Get Resource, Search Datastore, Search Datastore SQL, and more. Use Weavz to keep credentials scoped, require approval for sensitive work, and audit what the agent did.
Can CKAN be used in stateful agent workflows?
Yes. Agents can combine CKAN tools with Filesystem, State KV, Human Gates, input partials, and other workspace integrations while keeping execution scoped to the selected workspace or end user.
What authentication does CKAN use?
CKAN uses Custom. Weavz stores credentials securely and uses them for authorized action execution.
How much does the CKAN integration cost?
The CKAN integration is included on all Weavz plans including the free tier with 20,000 actions per month. No credit card required.
