Abs Mcp

A local MCP server that lets an assistant query Australian Bureau of Statistics data in plain English — CPI, labour force, GDP, population, building approvals.

What you can do

Search and describe ABS datasets, including ten curated economic dataflows and raw SDMX dataflows by code, with plain-English dimension values for curated ones. Query a dataflow with filters and a period range, returning clean records, grouped series or CSV. Fetch the latest observation for a dataset, or rank regions by a measure such as unemployment rate. List the curated dataflows available. Answers include period, unit and a link back to the ABS source page.

When to use it

Useful when you want an assistant to answer questions about the Australian economy — unemployment by state, inflation, wage growth, GDP, migration, population or housing approvals — with current figures instead of saying it has no data access.

Requirements

Runs locally over stdio as the PyPI package abs-mcp, launched with uvx or uv, so a Python/uv toolchain is needed. Configure it in the client (for example Claude Desktop or Cursor) and restart the client. Network access to the ABS Data API is required; no account, API key or environment variable is declared.
