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.

Reads files and sends them to the network mapmover/routes/system.py:2272
    files = sorted(str(p.relative_to(data_dir)) for p in data_dir.rglob("*") if p.is_file())

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 4

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

catalog
get_catalog
Choose data or geometry to list published pack IDs or family and scope IDs. The response includes a complete catalog download URL. Use get_pack for data or get_geography for geometry. Current catalog: The same geography tools work worldwide across a cataloged baseline of 252 geographic entities, reaching up to Admin 2. Where additional country releases are available, the same calls automatically return deeper administrative tiers or maintained reference families. Additional detail is currently available for Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States.
data
get_data
Retrieve rows from one selected published data pack using exact metrics, loc_id-based region filters, time/metric filters, sorting, and a row limit. Disaster event rows include stable event_id values for get_event drill-down. A parent administrative loc_id selects matching descendant rows at the pack's published grain. Call get_pack first; geometry families use their focused next-step tools.
pack
get_pack
Inspect one exact data pack ID for its metrics, time coverage, and query metadata before get_data.
tool
get_tool_help
Describe one tool visible on this facade, including its exact contract, or return a bounded workflow overview for one supported topic.

DaedalMap World Development Indicators — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can DaedalMap World Development Indicators do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_catalog, get_data, get_pack, get_tool_help. 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 →
Is DaedalMap World Development Indicators working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 88 of 91 checks got a reply (96.7%), average response time 304 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did DaedalMap World Development Indicators ever remove tools?
Yes. query_dataset is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect DaedalMap World Development Indicators?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does DaedalMap World Development Indicators need an API key?
No. DaedalMap World Development Indicators completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is DaedalMap World Development Indicators?
It answers our handshake in 304 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is DaedalMap World Development Indicators open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at app.daedalmap.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
