Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that gives an assistant US Census County Business Patterns data on establishments, employment and payroll by county, state and NAICS industry.

What you can do
Retrieve establishment, employment and annual payroll figures for a county, with an optional industry filter, using a state abbreviation and county FIPS code. Get an aggregate state-level business summary, optionally narrowed to a NAICS code, for economic overviews. Break down all 2-digit NAICS sectors in a county to see its economic composition. Data comes from the Census Bureau's County Business Patterns program.
When to use it
Useful when drafting grant applications, economic development narratives or community profiles that need county or state business statistics, or when comparing industry composition across places.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime, package, account, API key or environment variable is declared. Network access to the hosted endpoint is needed.
Before you install
The server is read-only and returns public Census data; no credentials, payments or write actions are declared. Figures reflect the Census Bureau's published CBP data, so check coverage and vintage before relying on them.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Census County Business Patterns in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.olyport%2Fcensus-cbp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
