README

cpi-inflation-calculator-mcp

An MCP server that gives an AI assistant the official U.S. Consumer Price Index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 1913 to the latest published month, so it can adjust any dollar amount for inflation, report the current inflation rate, check whether a raise kept pace, and compute the Social Security COLA. It checks the BLS API live for months newer than its training data.

Hosted endpoint, no sign-in and no token:

https://cpi-inflation-calculator-mcp.lipmichal.workers.dev/mcp

Tools

ToolWhat it does
calculate_inflationAdjusts an amount between any two months (YYYY-MM) or years (YYYY, annual average) from 1913 to the latest month. CPI-U by default, or CPI-W or core CPI. Returns the adjusted amount, cumulative and average annual inflation, and the index values used.
get_latest_cpiThe latest CPI month from BLS with the 12-month change for CPI-U, core CPI and CPI-W, the 1-month change and the year-to-date change.
get_inflation_rateAnnual-average and December-to-December inflation for any year since 1914, plus the latest 12-month rate for the current year.
compare_raise_to_inflationNominal raise, inflation, real raise, the pay needed to keep pace and the gain or shortfall.
calculate_social_security_colaThe COLA from Q3 CPI-W with the statutory formula, with the index values behind it.

Every result has structured JSON, a plain-English summary, data_status (live or bundled, latest month), as_of, source (the BLS series) and more (a pay raise calculator on statewage.com).

What it knows that your model does not

  • CPI index values through September 2026 (CPI-U 336.940), with a live check for anything newer.
  • Inflation was 3.7% over the 12 months to September 2026 (CPI-U, not seasonally adjusted). Core CPI was 2.6%.
  • BLS published no October 2025 CPI. Data were not collected during the 2025 lapse in appropriations. The tools say so instead of inventing a value, and still use the official 2025 annual average (321.943, 2.6% inflation).
  • The 2027 Social Security COLA is 3.6%. The tool reproduces it from Q3 2026 CPI-W (average 328.746 against 317.265), and also reproduces 2023 to 2026.

Example prompts

  • "What is $1,000 from 2000 worth today?"
  • "What is the current inflation rate, and what was core inflation?"
  • "What was inflation in 2025? Was any month missing?"
  • "My salary went from $60,000 in January 2025 to $63,000 now. Did I beat inflation?"
  • "How is the 2027 Social Security COLA calculated?"
  • "Convert $50 in 1970 to 2026 dollars using CPI-W."

Data sources

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI series CUUR0000SA0, CWUR0000SA0 and CUUR0000SA0L1E, fetched from the BLS Public Data API on 2026-11-03, plus a live check on each call. The COLA rule is 42 U.S.C. 415(i). See DATA_SOURCES.md.

Limitations

  • General information, not financial advice.
  • U.S. city average, not seasonally adjusted. No regional or item-level indexes (food, rent, gas).
  • The keyless BLS API caps daily requests per IP address. When the cap is hit, the hosted server answers from bundled data through September 2026 and says so in data_status.
  • Periods with no annual average yet (the current year) use the latest month of that year, with a note.

Development

npm installnpm run buildnpm test

src/core.ts holds the CPI math and has no I/O. src/data.ts is the bundled BLS data. src/live.ts checks the BLS API for newer months. src/stdio.ts is the local entry and src/worker.ts is the Cloudflare Worker entry. Both use the same tool registry in src/tools.ts.

calculate_inflation

Inflation calculator (CPI, 1913 to latest month)

Adjusts a dollar amount for inflation between any two periods from 1913 to the latest month the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has published, using the official CPI-U (or CPI-W or core CPI). Checks the BLS Public Data API live for months newer than its bundled data (bundled through September 2026, fetched 2026-11-03), so it knows CPI figures newer than a model's training data. Handles the October 2025 gap: BLS published no October 2025 CPI because of the 2025 lapse in appropriations. Returns the adjusted amount, cumulative and average annual inflation, and the exact index values used.

輸入參數tofrom必填amount必填series

get_latest_cpi

Latest CPI release (live from BLS)

Returns the most recent CPI index values published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, checked live against the BLS Public Data API: the latest month, the 12-month inflation rate for headline CPI-U, CPI-W and core CPI (less food and energy), the not seasonally adjusted 1-month change, and the year-to-date change. Use it to answer 'what is inflation right now'. If the live check fails it says so and falls back to bundled BLS data (through September 2026).

無需輸入參數。

get_inflation_rate

Annual inflation rate for a year

Returns the official U.S. inflation rate for a calendar year from BLS CPI data: annual-average change (BLS annual averages, including the 2025 average published despite the missing October 2025 index), December-to-December change, and for the current year the latest 12-month rate. Years 1914 to the present for CPI-U and CPI-W, 1958 onward for core CPI.

compare_raise_to_inflation

Did a pay raise beat inflation?

Compares a pay change with CPI inflation over the same period using official BLS data through the latest published month (checked live). Returns the nominal raise, inflation, the real (inflation-adjusted) raise, the pay needed to keep pace, and the gain or shortfall. Works for salaries, hourly wages, rents or any recurring amount.

calculate_social_security_cola

Social Security COLA from CPI-W

Computes the Social Security cost-of-living adjustment for a year with the statutory formula: average CPI-W for July-September of the prior year over the same quarter a year earlier, rounded to 0.1%. Uses official BLS CPI-W values (live check). Reproduces the 3.6% COLA for 2027 that SSA announced in October 2026, and shows the Q3 index values behind it. Covers 1976 onward.
