Israel Statistics MCP

Israel Statistics MCP

CI npm Docker License: MIT

Ask your AI assistant about Israeli inflation, prices, and housing data — straight from the official Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).

Once installed, Claude (or any MCP-enabled assistant) can look up price indices, chart historical trends, and run the official CBS inflation calculator for you. No API key needed — the CBS data is free and public.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), then restart Claude:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "israel-statistics": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

One command in your terminal:

claude mcp add israel-statistics -- npx -y @reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp

Any other MCP client

Use the same npx command and args as above — that's all a client needs.

Prefer Docker?

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "israel-statistics": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--init",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "reuvenaor/israel-statistics-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

What can I ask?

Just talk to your assistant naturally:

  • "How much is 1,000 ₪ from January 2015 worth today?"

  • "What's the latest Israeli inflation number?"

  • "Show me housing price trends from 2020 to 2024."

  • "Which price indices exist for food? Compare bread vs. fresh vegetables."

  • "Link my 2018 rent of 4,500 ₪ to today using the CPI."

Answers come in Hebrew by default (it's the CBS default) — just ask in English to get English.

What's inside

9 read-only tools your assistant uses behind the scenes:

Tool

What it does

get_index_topics

Search all price-index topics by keyword

get_catalog_chapters

List the index categories (CPI, housing, …)

get_chapter_topics

Topics inside one category

get_subject_codes

The concrete index codes for a topic

get_index_data

Historical values for one index

get_index_calculator

Official CBS inflation adjustment between two dates

get_main_indices

Today's headline indices

get_main_indices_by_period

Headline indices over a month range

get_all_indices

The full current-month index tree

Good to know

  • Housing data updates every two months, and the last three published values are provisional — the server warns automatically when recent housing numbers may still change.

  • History depth varies — the general CPI goes back decades; the headline month-range view starts at January 1997.

  • It's read-only and free — the server only reads public CBS data over HTTPS (api.cbs.gov.il) and talks to nothing else. No account, no key, no tracking.

Architecture, testing, CBS API details, security notes, and the release process live in docs/DEVELOPMENT.md. Vulnerability reports: SECURITY.md.

    B3.3/5.0

    Scored across 9 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools have distinct purposes, such as get_catalog_chapters for chapters and get_index_data for index data, but there is some overlap between get_all_indices and get_main_indices that could cause confusion. The descriptions help clarify, but an agent might need to infer the difference between 'all indices' and 'main indices'.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_' prefix, such as get_all_indices and get_index_data. There are no deviations in naming style, making the set predictable and easy to parse.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 9 tools, the count is well-scoped for a statistics API server, covering various aspects like indices, chapters, topics, and calculations. Each tool appears to serve a specific function without redundancy, fitting the domain appropriately.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for querying and calculating statistics, including data retrieval, catalog browsing, and calculations. A minor gap might be the lack of update or delete operations, but this is reasonable for a read-only statistics API, and agents can work around this limitation.
