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
Close Claude Desktop if it's running
Start the ABS MCP server:
