How do I install the oecd mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE`, `MCP_LOG_LEVEL`, `CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE`, `OECD_BASE_URL` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Oecd MCP Server?

Search and query 1,500+ OECD statistical datasets via SDMX. Keyless.

What it actually does

Declarative tool, resource, and prompt definitions — single file per primitive, framework handles registration and validation
Unified error handling — handlers throw, framework catches, classifies, and formats
Pluggable auth: none, jwt, oauth
Swappable storage backends: in-memory, filesystem, Supabase, Cloudflare KV/R2/D1
Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing
STDIO and Streamable HTTP transports

Configuration

Bun v1.3.11 or higher (or Node.js v24+). - No API key required — OECD SDMX is a free, public API.
