MCP server for Statistics Sweden (SCB) - 1200+ tables with population, economy, environment data

VerifiedStreamable HTTPWeb executableWeb Search & ScrapingData & Analytics

Overview

AI-generated overview

Connects an assistant to Statistics Sweden's PxWebAPI, letting it search 1,200+ official statistical tables and fetch population, economy, environment, labour…

What you can do
  • Search statistical tables by keyword and category across 1,200+ SCB tables
  • Resolve region names to official region codes, with fuzzy matching for names lacking Swedish characters
  • Inspect a table's variables and value codes before querying
  • Fetch table data for chosen regions, variables and time periods, with preview and TOP() limits for large selections
When to use it
Useful when you need official Swedish statistics — demographics, GDP, emissions, employment, education — for analysis, dashboards, research or educational material, and want the assistant to find the right table and pull the numbers itself.
Requirements
The manifest lists a remote endpoint at scb-mcp.onrender.com with no authentication, environment variables or headers. The README instead describes running it locally over stdio: clone the repository, install with npm and build, then point the MCP client at the built entry file. Network access to SCB's PxWebAPI is needed.
Before you install
Read-only access to public statistics; no credentials or payments are involved. Note the mismatch between the manifest's remote endpoint and the README's local stdio setup, so verify which one you are connecting to. Queries are rate limited (30 requests per 10 seconds), and large selections can return very large datasets, so preview first.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Scb Mcp 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/io.github.isakskogstad%2Fscb-mcp/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

📊 SCB MCP Server

SCB MCP är server som LLM:s och AI-chatbotar kan använda för att söka, hitta och hämta officiell data och statistik från Statistikbyrån (SCB). Det omfattar 1 200+ statistiktabeller med data om befolkning & demografi, ekonomi & finans, miljö, arbetsmarknad, utbildning och transport. Perfekt för att bygga interaktiva instrumentpaneler, forskningsverktyg och utbildningsapplikationer.

Översikt

🇬🇧 Overview

The SCB MCP server provides seamless integration with Statistics Sweden's PxWebAPI 2.0, enabling LLM:s to access:

🚀 Installation

Servern körs lokalt via stdio. Klona, bygg och peka din MCP-klient mot dist/index.js.

bash
git clone https://github.com/isakskogstad/SCB-MCP.gitcd SCB-MCPnpm installnpm run build

Claude Code (CLI)

bash
claude mcp add scb -- node /absolut/sökväg/till/SCB-MCP/dist/index.js

Claude Desktop / Codex / Gemini / Cursor (stdio)

Lägg till i klientens MCP-konfiguration (t.ex. ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json för Claude Desktop):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "scb": {      "command": "node",      "args": ["/absolut/sökväg/till/SCB-MCP/dist/index.js"]    }  }}

🇬🇧 Fetch data (English)
python
data = scb.get_table_data(    tableId="TAB637",    selection={        "Region": ["1441"],        "Kon": ["1+2"],        "Tid": ["2024"],        "ContentsCode": ["BE0101G9"]    })

Best practices

ProblemLösning
Stor datamängd?Använd alltid preview_data() först för att testa
För mycket data?Använd "TOP(5)" istället för "*" för tidsperioder
Felaktiga koder?Anropa get_table_variables() först — koder varierar mellan tabeller
Osäker på enheter?Kontrollera variabeletikett för enheter (kt, ton, procent osv.)
🇬🇧 Best practices (English)
IssueSolution
Large dataset?Always use preview_data() first to test
Too much data?Use "TOP(5)" instead of "*" for time periods
Wrong codes?Call get_table_variables() first — codes vary between tables
Unsure about units?Check variable label for units (kt, tonnes, percent, etc.)

Praktiska exempel

Ex: Befolkningstrend Lerum vs Stockholm

python
# Jämför två regioner över tiddata = scb.get_table_data(    tableId="TAB637",    selection={        "Region": ["1441", "0180"],  # Lerum och Stockholm        "Kon": ["1+2"],        "Tid": ["TOP(5)"],        "ContentsCode": ["BE0101G9"]    })# Stockholm: 41.0 år (2024), Lerum: 40.1 år (2024)# Trend: Stockholm åldras snabbare
🇬🇧 Example 1: Population trends (English)
python
data = scb.get_table_data(    tableId="TAB637",    selection={        "Region": ["1441", "0180"],  # Lerum and Stockholm        "Kon": ["1+2"],        "Tid": ["TOP(5)"],        "ContentsCode": ["BE0101G9"]    })# Stockholm: 41.0 years (2024), Lerum: 40.1 years (2024)
