What is the Israel Statistics MCP MCP server?

If you already use Israel Statistics MCP, the israel statistics mcp mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. MCP server that provides programmatic access to the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) price indices and economic data.

What the server does

Once installed, Claude (or any MCP-enabled assistant) can look up price indices, chart historical trends, and run the official CBS inflation calculator for you. No API key needed — the CBS data is free and public.

Installation

The server ships on npm as @reuvenorg/israel-statistics-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:

  • get_index_topics — Search all price-index topics by keyword
  • get_catalog_chapters — List the index categories (CPI, housing, …)
  • get_chapter_topics — Topics inside one category
  • get_subject_codes — The concrete index codes for a topic
  • get_index_data — Historical values for one index
  • get_index_calculator — Official CBS inflation adjustment between two dates
  • get_main_indices — Today's headline indices
  • get_main_indices_by_period — Headline indices over a month range
  • get_all_indices — The full current-month index tree

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.
  • With 9 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Israel Statistics MCP.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Israel Statistics MCP's toolset — get_index_topics, get_catalog_chapters, get_chapter_topics and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Israel Statistics MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 9 tools (get_index_topics, get_catalog_chapters, get_chapter_topics, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Israel Statistics MCP directly.
