What is the Datasaudi MCP server?

If you already use Datasaudi, the datasaudi mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Saudi economic & social statistics (GASTAT/DataSaudi) in English or Arabic. Keyless, no database.

What the server does

Here it is in Claude Desktop — one plain‑English question, and the model finds the dataset, pulls Riyadh's real‑estate price index against the national trend, and charts it:

Installation

The server ships on PyPI as datasaudi-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • list_cubes — Search the 277‑dataset catalog by keyword (English or Arabic)
  • describe_cube — Show one dataset's breakdown dimensions and measures
  • query_cube — Run a validated query and return tidy rows — with the query echoed back and honest paging

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

This sits in the database access group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Datasaudi's toolset — list_cubes, describe_cube, query_cube — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mohsinmshabbir; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Datasaudi to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (list_cubes, describe_cube, query_cube) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Datasaudi directly.
