Installation
Method 1: Install from npm (Recommended)
The easiest way to install the MCP server is via npm:
npm install -g ukrainian-stats-mcp-server
After installation, add to Claude Desktop configuration:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ukrainian-stats": {
"command": "ukrainian-stats-mcp"
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop and you're ready to use the server!
Note: On Linux/macOS, if you encounter permission issues, you may need to use
sudo npm install -g ukrainian-stats-mcp-serveror configure npm to use a user directory.
Method 2: Quick Install Using Install Scripts
The easiest way to install locally is using the provided install scripts. These scripts automatically install dependencies, build the project, and make the command globally available.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/VladyslavMykhailyshyn/ukrainian-stats-mcp-server.git
cd ukrainian-stats-mcp-server
- Run the install script:
Windows (PowerShell):
.\install.ps1
Windows (Command Prompt):
install.bat
Linux/macOS:
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
The install scripts will:
- β Check for Node.js (requires version 18 or higher)
- π¦ Install all dependencies
- π¨ Build the project
- π Link the command globally (makes
ukrainian-stats-mcpavailable system-wide)
After running the install script, add to Claude Desktop configuration:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ukrainian-stats": {
"command": "ukrainian-stats-mcp"
}
}
}
Then restart Claude Desktop and you're ready to use the server!
Note: On Linux/macOS, if you encounter permission issues, you may need to run
sudo ./install.shor configure npm to use a user directory (the script will provide instructions).
Method 3: Install from GitHub
- Install globally via npm from GitHub:
npm install -g git+https://github.com/VladyslavMykhailyshyn/ukrainian-stats-mcp-server.git
- Add to Claude Desktop configuration:
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ukrainian-stats": {
"command": "ukrainian-stats-mcp"
}
}
}
- Restart Claude Desktop - The server will be ready to use!
Method 4: Local Development Installation
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/VladyslavMykhailyshyn/ukrainian-stats-mcp-server.git
cd ukrainian-stats-mcp-server
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Build the project:
npm run build
- Add to Claude Desktop configuration (use absolute path):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ukrainian-stats": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/ukrainian-stats-mcp-server/build/index.js"]
}
}
}

Common Usage Workflows
Workflow 1: Exploring a New Dataset
List dataflows to find interesting datasets
List all dataflowsGet dataflow details to understand what the dataset contains
Get dataflow DF_SUPPLY_USE_ENERGYGet data structure to see dimensions and attributes
Get data structure DSD_SUPPLY_USE_ENERGYGet codelists to see allowed values for dimensions
Get codelist CL_SUPPLY_USE_ENERGY_INDICATORRetrieve data with appropriate filters
Get data from DF_SUPPLY_USE_ENERGY for 2020-2023
Workflow 2: Quick Data Retrieval
If you already know the dataflow ID:
Get energy supply and use data from DF_SUPPLY_USE_ENERGY for the last 3 years
The AI will use the appropriate tools to fetch the data.
Data Format
All responses are returned in JSON format, converted from the original SDMX XML responses. The JSON structure follows the SDMX standard with attributes prefixed with @_.
