Description

denmark_population

Denmark's total population in ONE call, from Statistics Denmark (Danmarks Statistik, table FOLK1A), keyless — plus the recent quarterly trend. PREFER for "what is Denmark's population", "how many people live in Denmark", "Danish population growth", "Denmark population according to official statistics". Counts are registered residents at the FIRST DAY of each quarter, so "2026Q2" is a 1 April snapshot, not an average over the quarter. Use list_tables / get_data for breakdowns by region, age, sex or marital status.

list_subjects

Browse the Statistics Denmark subject tree (People, Labour, Economy, Business, Environment, ...). Pass a subject id to drill into its children; set recursive to expand the whole subtree.

list_tables

List/search available tables. Filter by subject id, free-text search, or recently-updated tables. Returns table ids (use with table_info / get_data), titles, period range, and variable names.

table_info

Metadata for a table: title, unit, last updated, and the full list of variables with their codes and valid value ids. READ THIS BEFORE get_data to learn the exact variable codes (e.g. "OMRÅDE", "Tid") and value ids you must pass.

get_data

Pull data from a table. Provide tableId and a "variables" map of {variableCode: valueOrValues}, using codes/ids from table_info. Each value may be a single id, an array of ids, or "*" for all. Omitted variables that allow elimination are aggregated to total. format "JSONSTAT" (default, structured JSON-stat) or "BULK"/"CSV" (semicolon-delimited text).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dst-dk": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dst-dk/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dst-dk/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1863+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/denmark_population \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{}'

No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/denmark_population. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.

Run it from npm

@pipeworx/mcp-dst-dk is a local stdio bridge to the Pipeworx gateway: your MCP client starts it with npx, and it forwards every call to the same https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dst-dk/mcp endpoint shown above. It needs network access; there is no offline mode.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dst-dk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-dst-dk"]
    }
  }
}

Without a key it calls anonymously, capped at 50 calls a day. A free account raises that to 200 a day: get a key at https://pipeworx.io/signup and add "env": { "PIPEWORX_API_KEY": "<your key>" } to the server entry. The key is sent as a Bearer token, the same way a hosted connection sends it, so calls are metered and billed exactly as they are there.

It lists only this pack's tools by default. Set PIPEWORX_META_TOOLS=1 to also list ask_pipeworx and the other gateway-wide tools.

Behind an HTTPS proxy: Node's built-in fetch does not read HTTPS_PROXY by default. Newer Node releases honour it when NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 is set; check your Node version's documentation.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Dst Dk data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
