📊 Monitly MCP Server – Official Statistics for AI Agents

License

Monitly MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and any MCP-compatible agent direct access to official statistics and economic indicators – Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, IMF, WHO and national statistical offices – for 150+ countries.

Ask in plain language: the agent finds the right dataset, checks the country coverage and pulls the time series.

Quick start

Create a free account at monit.ly and generate an MCP key in Settings → Integrations → MCP (direct link). MCP keys start with mcpk_.
Add the server to your client.

Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Claude Desktop (mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monitly": {
      "url": "https://monit.ly/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http monitly https://monit.ly/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"

Clients that only support stdio (via mcp-remote):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monitly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://monit.ly/api/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Data tools (count toward the monthly `mcp_queries` quota)

Tool	What it does

`search_datasets`	Alias of `search_catalog`.
`inspect_dataset`	Peek one dataset: default slice, whether a country is covered, `dataId` and the latest values.
`get_dataset`	Full metadata for one dataset: description, source and metadata URLs, dimensions, period range, geographies.
`execute_sql`	Read-only `SELECT` against the `main` and `data` tables to pull a full time series.
`export_dataset`	CSV download URL for a dataset, optionally filtered by countries and dimension values.

Account tools (free)

Tool	What it does
`list_plans`, `get_plan`, `get_usage`	Plans, current plan and limits, usage this billing period.
`upgrade_plan`	Returns a Stripe Checkout URL for the Pro plan.
`list_watchlist`, `add_to_watchlist`, `add_watchlist_batch`, `remove_from_watchlist`	Follow datasets and get alerts when they update.
`set_notification_preferences`	E-mail / Slack alert settings.
`list_api_keys`, `create_api_key`, `delete_api_key`	REST API keys (`mon_…`).
`list_mcp_keys`, `create_mcp_key`, `delete_mcp_key`	MCP keys (`mcpk_…`).

initialize, tools/list and ping are never metered and work without a key, so clients can list tools before you add one.
