## Description

This MCP server provides access to Israel's OpenBudget API, allowing users to query and search various budget-related datasets including government budgets, contracts, and support payments. Built on FastMCP, it exposes three main tools: get_dataset_info for retrieving dataset structure information, search_dataset for performing full-text searches, and query_dataset for executing SQL queries against the data. The implementation serves as a bridge between MCP clients and the OpenBudget platform, making government financial data more accessible for analysis, research, and transparency initiatives.
