Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Starwell: World Data & Statistics every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: STARWELL_API_KEY (Free Bearer key from https://starwell.dev/account. Data reads work without one; answer, deep_analysis, and monitors require it.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Available tools 11

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

monitor
create_monitor
Create a monitor: when the store's refresh lands a new period or a revised value for the series, a series.updated webhook fires to your URL with the new value, verification status, and citation. Requires an API key (free with an account at /account); webhook must be https. Manage with list_monitors / delete_monitor.
delete_monitor
no description provided
series
get_series
Full metadata for one series: indicator, unit, frequency, geography, coverage, its VERIFICATION STATUS (passing/stale/failing/unverified from golden-value + freshness checks against the live source), recent check records, and the citation to the official table.
get_series_stats
Latest value, previous, all-time min/max, mean, and change vs the previous period and vs a year ago — computed over the verified store, with the citation attached. The cheap way to answer "what is it now and how has it moved" without a full analysis run.
answer
answer
The flagship: ask a natural-language question about the served official statistics. Returns a COMPUTED answer (real Python runs in a sandbox over the verified store, nothing is estimated by a model), the Plotly chart, the Python code, citations to the official tables, and a verification badge per series. CROSS-SOURCE: one question may join series from DIFFERENT agencies, e.g. unemployment from the US BLS, Statistics Canada and the UK ONS in a single call, for correlations, ratios, and like-for-like comparison. How many series one question may join is set by the caller's plan; asking for more returns a series_limit error naming that cap. Returns a refusal when no served series can answer. Takes 10-40 seconds. Requires a free API key (create at /account on the Starwell host; pass Authorization: Bearer dlk_... or set STARWELL_API_KEY on the starwell-mcp bridge). Keyless calls return key_required.
catalog
search_catalog
Find series across ALL sources in one call: case-insensitive search over series ids, indicator names, geographies, and dataset titles (e.g. "unemployment canada", "10-year treasury", "CPI"). Returns candidate series with units, coverage, verification status, and license, plus datasetMatches from the wider dataset index — datasets whose series can be requested by source-native id and are fetched from the official source on first call. The fastest path from a question to the exact series id to fetch or pin in the answer tool.
datasets
list_datasets
List the datasets (official releases/tables) available in one source, with coverage dates and links to the official table pages.
deep
deep_analysis
The moat: a PLANNED multi-section report on a question. The engine designs 3-4 orthogonal analyses (trend, statistics, outliers, cross-series relationships), runs real Python for each in the sandbox over the verified store, and synthesizes one decision-ready report. Every number computed, every series cited and verification-badged. Sections can join series from DIFFERENT agencies in one report, up to the caller's plan width; over it, the call returns a series_limit error naming that cap. Slower than answer (60-180 seconds), so use it for "analyze", "break down", "give me a full picture" asks; use the answer tool for a single direct question. Requires a free API key (create at /account on the Starwell host; pass Authorization: Bearer dlk_... or set STARWELL_API_KEY on the starwell-mcp bridge). Keyless calls return key_required.
monitors
list_monitors
Monitors on your API key, with delivery health (last fired, failures, active).
observations
get_observations
Observation values for one series. Every value carries provenance (the exact source URL it came from, retrieval time, connector version) and the envelope carries the series verification status + citation. Defaults to the latest 60 points; use start/end (YYYY-MM-DD) or latest to control the window.
sources
list_sources
List the official statistical sources served by this data layer (e.g. Statistics Canada, FRED), with dataset/series counts, cadence notes, and terms links. Start here to see what exists.

Starwell: World Data & Statistics — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Starwell: World Data & Statistics do?
It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: answer, create_monitor, deep_analysis, delete_monitor, get_observations, get_series and 5 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 Starwell: World Data & Statistics mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around series and monitor. 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 Starwell: World Data & Statistics working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 454 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Starwell: World Data & Statistics?
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 Starwell: World Data & Statistics need an API key?
No. Starwell: World Data & Statistics completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Starwell: World Data & Statistics?
It answers our handshake in 454 ms on average, which is faster than 32% 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 Starwell: World Data & Statistics?
The npm package starwell-mcp was installed 59 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Starwell: World Data & Statistics open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
