Search and query 1,500+ OECD statistical datasets via SDMX. Keyless.
Search and query 1,500+ OECD statistical datasets via SDMX. Keyless. Exposed over MCP by the oecd mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
oecd_list_agencies — List OECD SDMX agencies and the number of dataflows each publishesoecd_search_datasets — Search 1,500+ OECD dataflows by keyword or themeoecd_get_dataset_info — Fetch a dataflow's dimensions, key order, and codelist referencesoecd_get_dimension_values — Fetch valid codes and labels for one dimension (countries, measures, frequencies)oecd_query_dataset — Fetch observations filtered by dimension key and time range; spills large results to DataCanvasoecd_dataframe_describe — List DataCanvas tables and columns staged by a prior oecd_query_dataset spilloecd_dataframe_query — Run a read-only SQL SELECT against DataCanvas tablesPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverInstallation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
You will need 4 environment variables: MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE, MCP_LOG_LEVEL, CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE, OECD_BASE_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of file and storage access 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. Oecd's toolset — oecd_list_agencies, oecd_search_datasets, oecd_get_dataset_info and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by cyanheads; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
