Implementation Details

ABS API Client

The ABSApiClient class handles communication with the ABS Data API:

  • Uses SDMX-ML format for data exchange
  • Supports multiple response formats (JSON, CSV, XML)
  • Implements proper error handling and logging
  • Configurable timeouts and retries

Data Flow Service

The DataFlowService class manages ABS data flows:

  • Dynamically fetches available datasets from ABS API
  • Implements caching with configurable refresh intervals
  • Provides methods for querying specific datasets
  • Handles data transformation and formatting

Logging

Comprehensive logging system using Winston:

  • Debug-level logging for development
  • Structured JSON logging format
  • Console and file transport options
  • Configurable log levels and formats

Integration with Claude Desktop

  1. Close Claude Desktop if it's running
  2. Start the ABS MCP server: npm start
  3. Start Claude Desktop
  4. The ABS tools should appear in the "Available MCP Tools" window
