Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] src/ausecon_mcp/_version.py:1

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 14

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

abs

get_abs_data

Expert/source-native ABS SDMX retrieval in a normalised response shape.

get_abs_dataset_structure

Get ABS SDMX dataset dimensions and codelists.

economic

get_economic_series

Preferred analyst-facing retrieval tool for curated ABS/RBA economic concepts. Use list_economic_concepts for discovery. Date bounds accept YYYY, YYYY-QN, YYYY-SN, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD and are normalised to the resolved source.

list_economic_concepts

List analyst-friendly semantic economic concepts accepted by get_economic_series.

rba

get_rba_table

Expert/source-native RBA statistical table retrieval in a normalised response shape.

list_rba_tables

Deprecated compatibility alias. Prefer list_catalogue(source="rba").

apra

get_apra_data

Expert/source-native APRA public XLSX publication retrieval. Only curated official APRA publication IDs are accepted; arbitrary URLs are not.

catalogue

list_catalogue

List curated ABS, RBA, and APRA catalogue entries, optionally filtered by source, category, or tag. Unranked complement to ``search_datasets``.

datasets

search_datasets

Search curated ABS, RBA, and APRA economic datasets.

derived

get_derived_series

Read-only retrieval for the narrow transparent derived series layer. Date bounds accept YYYY, YYYY-QN, YYYY-SN, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD and are normalised to the derived series frequency.

describe

describe_dataset

Describe a source-native ABS, RBA, or APRA dataset without hiding native IDs.

latest

get_latest_observations

Source-aware convenience wrapper for the latest observations. For a single curated indicator prefer get_economic_series(concept=...), which resolves one series; pass series_ids=[...] to narrow a broad dataset instead of returning every series it contains.

release

list_release_events

List source-aware release calendar or release-pulse events.

top

get_top_observations

Source-aware convenience wrapper for highest or lowest numeric observations. For a single curated indicator prefer get_economic_series(concept=...), which resolves one series; pass series_ids=[...] to narrow a broad dataset instead of returning every series it contains.

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA) do?

It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: describe_dataset, get_abs_data, get_abs_dataset_structure, get_apra_data, get_derived_series, get_economic_series and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA) mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around abs, rba and economic. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA) working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 500 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA)?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA) need an API key?

No. Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA)?

It answers our handshake in 500 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA)?

The pypi package ausecon-mcp-server was installed 1 673 times in the last week. Week over week that is +182%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA) open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 4 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
