Statistics Netherlands (CBS / StatLine) OData MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.
Tool | Description |
| Find CBS StatLine datasets by keyword (matched against title). Returns table id, title, period and language. Table ids ending in "eng"/"ENG" have English labels; others are Dutch. |
| Metadata for one table: title, summary, time period covered, frequency, update status and description. Pass a table id like "37296eng". |
| Column/dimension definitions for a table (DataProperties): what each field means, its key, type, unit and decimals. Use this before get_data to learn which $select keys and $filter dimensions exist. |
| List the valid codes/labels for one dimension of a table (a sub-endpoint such as "Periods" or a region/category dimension key, as named in the table root or table_dimensions). |
| Fetch observations from a table (TypedDataSet). Supports OData v3 query params. Use $select to pick columns (from table_dimensions keys) and $filter to subset, e.g. filter="Periods eq '2020JJ00'". Always set a $top to avoid huge responses. |
