Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| MCP_SINIM_CACHE_DIR | No | Directory for the metadata disk cache (optional). |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_variablesA | Fuzzy-search SINIM variables by name, optionally filtered by area. Matching is accent- and case-insensitive ("educacion" also finds "Educación"). |
| get_variable_infoA | Get full metadata for a single SINIM variable code. |
| get_dataC | Fetch municipal data for one or more SINIM variables. |
| preview_dataA | Inspect a query's shape and coverage before exporting its full result. Use this bounded preview to check columns, coverage, and sample values,
then call |
| export_dataA | Write a full SINIM panel to disk instead of the model's context. Call |
| list_areasA | List all SINIM subject areas (e.g. finance, education, health). Returns: The distinct area names present in the catalog, sorted. |
| list_municipiosB | List municipalities, optionally filtered by region. |
| search_municipalitiesA | Fuzzy-search Chilean municipalities by name, optionally filtered by region. Matching is accent- and case-insensitive ("nunoa" also finds "ÑUÑOA"). |
| list_yearsA | List the years with data available in SINIM. Discovered dynamically from the SINIM form, so newly published years appear automatically. Returns: Available years, ascending (e.g. 2001..2025). |

Scored across 9 tools
Most tools have clearly distinct purposes (listing vs searching vs fetching), but list_municipios and search_municipalities overlap significantly as both return municipalities, differing only in fuzzy matching. The data-related tools (get_data, preview_data, export_data) are distinct but could confuse at a glance.
The verb_noun pattern is mostly followed (list_*, search_*, get_*, preview_data, export_data), but there is an inconsistency with list_municipios using Spanish while search_municipalities uses English, and get_variable_info breaks the simple verb_noun form.
9 tools is well-scoped for a data catalog focused on discovery, search, and retrieval. Each tool serves a distinct step in the workflow without redundancy.
The tool set covers the full lifecycle of exploring and exporting SINIM data: discovering areas, municipalities, years, and variables, then fetching, previewing, and exporting. No critical gaps for the stated domain.
