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.

compare

compare_countries

Compare 2-10 countries on selected indicators.

compare_sources

Cross-source reconciliation: for one concept (e.g. GDP), return the IMF, World Bank, and UN values side by side per country, with the year each source reports. Sources legitimately disagree — different vintages, exchange-rate conventions, and revision cycles; this tool makes the disagreement visible instead of hiding it. Works for concepts with a multi-source mapping (GDP, GDP per capita, GDP growth, population, and others).

country

get_country_list

List all 218 countries with metadata (region, income level, capital).

get_country_overview

Get all key statistics for a country. Returns GDP, population, life expectancy, inflation, unemployment, and more.

series

get_series_data

High-frequency (daily/weekly/monthly) series: US Treasury yield curve (UST.YC.3M … UST.YC.30Y), SOFR/EFFR/OBFR, CORRA and GoC yields, central bank policy rates for ~38 economies (BIS.CBPOL.M/D), monthly CPI inflation for ~190 countries (IMF.CPI.YOY.M, IMF.CPI.FOOD.YOY.M), monthly 10-year government bond yields for 40+ countries (OECD.IRLT.10Y), monthly unemployment (ILO.UNEMP.RT.M, EUROSTAT.UNEMP.RT.M), Eurostat HICP/industrial production/retail (EUROSTAT.*.M), monthly electricity (EMBER.ELEC.*.M), and daily shipping chokepoint transits plus weekly port trade volumes (PORTWATCH.*). Call list_series to browse. Every response carries source licence and attribution.

list_series

List the high-frequency series catalog (rates, yields, monthly labour and energy) with frequency, unit, source, and licence for each.

available

get_available_indicators

List all available indicators grouped by category.

historical

get_historical_data

Get historical time series (20+ years) for a country and indicator pair.

indicator

indicators

search_indicators

Search for indicators by keyword. Use when you need to find the right indicator ID.

Statistics of the World — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Statistics of the World do?

It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_countries, compare_sources, get_available_indicators, get_country_list, get_country_overview, get_historical_data 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 Statistics of the World mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around country, series and compare. 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 Statistics of the World 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 410 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is Statistics of the World still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

How do I connect Statistics of the World?

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 Statistics of the World need an API key?

No. Statistics of the World 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 Statistics of the World?

It answers our handshake in 410 ms on average, which is faster than 37% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
