An open, decentralized network for data discovery built on ATProto. Publish metadata, build portals, find data.
Matadisco: Can We Bootstrap Public Data Discovery with ATProto?
Let's talk about a system for universal data discovery, that doesn't depend on any single institution staying funded or online.

🪩 Introducing matadisco.org! — a way to discover open datasets via #atproto that doesn't depend on any single institution staying online. 🕺🏼 We have more public data than ever (satellite imagery, climate models, genomic sequences), but finding it is still painfully hard. https://matadisco.org
ATProto MCP Server
Remote MCP server for the ATProto data layer. Search writing, browse annotations, resolve identities, discover agents.

Matadisco — Decentralized Data Discovery
matadisco.orgEmerging from being "down in the technical weeds" of #atproto is a little mashup of @semble.so & WayFinder (wayfinders.network) Semble team released "open collections" this week - here we explore the "private & permissioned data" collection, created by @bmann.ca & now with 3 other contributors
made atproto.md awhile ago, just added some relay features. discover repos by collection and constellation backlinks. connect your agent to the /mcp to fetch records, resolve actors, discover repos and more. try it out, suggest stuff, contribute.
atproto.md — AT Protocol data as Markdown
atproto.mdVery cool project connecting atproto with the Underlay knowledge graph protocol "[The Underlay] is an archive. [atproto] is a wire. Together they give a collection both permanence and real-time distribution." And check out these neat #ATScience examples too! underlay.org/blog/2026-04-28-atproto-integ…

#atproto devs, I know data is public and accessible But we need more tools to help people download their data in *familiar and user-friendly* formats Data ownership is also about enabling people to use and move their data in whatever way they desire, even if they wish to take it outside the protocol

I'd argue that having an export tool to fetch the data from the PDSes into familiar data files would be very much appreciated by the general public, both webcomic authors and readers (especially converting the block content into something clean to import anywhere they might desire)
