Which integrations are available for this server?

Allows AI agents to query verified public data from 2,700+ datasets (World Bank, FRED, Eurostat, etc.) using MCP tools for discovery, cross-dataset joins, statistical analysis, and chart publishing.

autario-mcp

Verified data for AI agents. 2,700+ public datasets (World Bank, FRED, Eurostat, OECD, WHO, ECB, US Census, IMF) joined under one ontology, with built-in statistical analysis and chart publishing. Plug it into Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client | your model gets numbers it cannot hallucinate.

Why autario-mcp

No hallucinated numbers. Every value is sourced from a known publisher and cited back to a primary URL. Use verify_value to double-check any claim.
Cross-dataset joins, no setup. Indicators across different datasets share autario_time + autario_entity shadow columns, so get_entity_data(USA, [gdp, unemployment, life_expectancy]) returns one wide table, joined automatically.
Statistical primitives built-in. correlate, regression, find_drivers, lag_analysis, seasonality_decomposition and more, with effect sizes, p-values, and plain-language interpretations.
Charts that persist. publish_chart writes a Plotly spec to autario.com. The result is a permanent, embeddable URL like autario.com/chart/{slug} | the LLM builds the spec, autario pulls real rows for it, no hallucinated data path.
LLM-agnostic. Works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, local models | anything that speaks MCP.

Quick Demo

Install the server, then ask your assistant questions like these. The model picks the right tools and answers with cited data.

Ask:    "What drives US inflation? Look at money supply, oil prices, and unemployment."
Tools:  list_indicators -> find_drivers
Output: Ranked drivers with r, p-value, R squared per candidate.

Ask:    "Compare life expectancy in Germany, USA and Japan from 2000 to 2023, then publish a chart."
Tools:  compare_entities -> publish_chart
Output: Wide-format table joined on year, plus a permanent autario.com/chart/{slug} URL.

Ask:    "Is consumer confidence a leading indicator of US retail sales?"
Tools:  lag_analysis
Output: Cross-correlation peak at lag k, with interpretation in months.

Install
