This one needs environment variables set before it will start: FRED_API_KEY (FRED API key from stlouisfed.org. Required to make any API calls.), FRED_BASE_URL (Override the FRED API base URL.), FRED_DATASET_TTL_SECONDS (Sliding TTL for DataCanvas-registered observation tables (seconds).), FRED_DATAFRAME_DROP_ENABLED (Set to 'true' to expose the fedreserve_dataframe_drop tool.), MCP_HTTP_HOST (The hostname for the HTTP server.), MCP_HTTP_PORT (The port to run the HTTP server on.), MCP_HTTP_ENDPOINT_PATH (The endpoint path for the MCP server.), MCP_AUTH_MODE (Authentication mode to use: 'none', 'jwt', or 'oauth'.), MCP_LOG_LEVEL (Sets the minimum log level for output (e.g., 'debug', 'info', 'warn').). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Federal Reserve MCP Server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Federal Reserve MCP Server?
Federal Reserve MCP Server runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @cyanheads/federal-reserve-mcp-server was installed 57 times last week.
How do I connect Federal Reserve MCP Server?
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 runs locally, so the command pulls @cyanheads/federal-reserve-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Federal Reserve MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/federal-reserve-mcp-server was installed 57 times in the last week. Week over week that is +85%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Federal Reserve MCP Server open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript, 1 stars on GitHub and 9 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
