What is the Statfin MCP Server?

Statistics Finland (StatFin/PxWeb): search tables, read metadata, fetch JSON-stat2 data.

What you get

MCP server for official statistics from Statistics Finland (Tilastokeskus) — the StatFin database, exposed through the PxWeb API. Search 3000+ tables, inspect their dimensions, and pull data as JSON-stat2. No API key required.

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

Tool	What it does
sok_tabell	Keyword search across all StatFin tables. PxWeb has no server-side search, so this matches a bundled index (built from the full table tree) locally and returns the most relevant tables with their tabell_id.
hent_tabell	Metadata for a table: title + dimensions (variables) with their valid value codes and labels. Read this first to learn which filter codes exist.
hent_data	Fetch actual values as JSON-stat2, filtered by a flat {variabelkode: [verdier]} map. Supports special selections like {filter:'top', values:['1']} for the latest period.
list_emner	List the ~140 StatFin subject areas (e.g. vaerak = Population structure). Scope a search or browse when a keyword misses.
