Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP endpoint giving assistants access to Statistics Canada (StatCan) official statistics through the Pipeworx gateway, with no authentication.

What you can do
  • Query Canadian official statistics from Statistics Canada's WDS data source
  • Ask questions in plain English through the gateway's ask_pipeworx helper, which selects a tool and fills in arguments
  • Optionally connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to reach all of its listed data sources instead of just Statscan
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs Canadian official statistics, such as StatCan figures, while answering questions or drafting analysis, without setting up a local server or API credentials.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP MCP endpoint at the Pipeworx gateway; no packages, environment variables, headers or authentication are declared. The client must support remote MCP servers over HTTP.
Before you install
The README lists no tools, so the exact capabilities are not documented here. Requests go through the third-party Pipeworx gateway, which sees the questions and arguments sent to it. Connecting to the full gateway exposes many more data sources than Statscan alone.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Statscan 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.pipeworx-io%2Fstatscan/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

  "mcpServers": {
    "statscan": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/statscan/mcp"
    }
  }

Tools

ToolDescription

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "statscan": {      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/statscan/mcp"    }  }}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "pipeworx": {      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"    }  }}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Statscan data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
