A Model Context Protocol server that exposes American Default Research data — 96 economic distress indicators, the American Distress Index (ADI)
If you already use American Default MCP, the american default mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. A Model Context Protocol server that exposes American Default Research data — 96 economic distress indicators, the American Distress Index (ADI) composite score, and county-level distress scores across all 3,144 U.S. counties — to.
American Default Research is a nonpartisan data project tracking U.S. household financial distress. It publishes the American Distress Index (ADI) — a composite 0-100 score built from five statistically derived components — and the County Distress Index (CDI) for all 3,144 U.S. counties.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
streamable — HTTP** (http_app.py) — for the hosted endpoint at mcp.americandefault.orgPer — minute burst** — MCP_RATE_LIMIT_RPM, default 60Endpoint — Budgetget_indicator — ≤ 16 KBget_county_scorecard — ≤ 25 KBget_adi_composite — ≤ 4 KBSmithery — The MCP is also available via the Smithery gateway at [smithery.ai/servers/americandefault/research](https://smithery.ai/servers/americandefault/reseaBecause this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. American Default MCP's toolset — streamable, Per, Endpoint and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by vibecode1; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
