Description

hongkong_unemployment_rate

Hong Kong's headline labour-market figures in ONE call — unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted and unadjusted), underemployment rate, and labour-force participation rate, latest first. PREFER for "what is Hong Kong's unemployment rate", "HK jobless rate", "Hong Kong labour force participation", "is unemployment rising in Hong Kong". Source is the Census & Statistics Department (table 210-06101), keyless. Figures are 3-MONTH MOVING AVERAGES, which is how Hong Kong publishes them — a period of "2026-06" means April–June 2026, not the month of June. Use censtatd_get_table for anything deeper (by age, sex, industry).

censtatd_get_table

Fetch a Hong Kong Census & Statistics Department statistical table as structured JSON (time series of {period, sv (measure), svDesc, figure} plus any dimension code/Desc columns). By default returns the FULL series (full_series=1) — reliable and keyless, no encoded param needed. Use this for HK GDP, employment earnings, trade, prices, money/financial-market stats, etc. Table ids look like '310-31001' (GDP) or '340-46001' (exchange rates); find ids with censtatd_search_tables. Optionally pass param — the opaque lz-string blob copied from the table's API Example box on censtatd.gov.hk — to fetch a filtered subset instead of the full series (we cannot generate this blob for you).

censtatd_table_info

Get metadata for a Hong Kong C&SD statistical table without pulling the data: title, footnotes (tablenote), and source/contact. Use to confirm a table id and read measurement caveats before calling censtatd_get_table. Returns title, notes and source for the given id.

censtatd_search_tables

Search the Hong Kong C&SD table catalogue by keyword (e.g. 'exchange rates', 'unemployment', 'merchandise trade') and get back matching table ids + titles to use with censtatd_get_table. Backed by the data.gov.hk open-data index of C&SD tablechart datasets. Note: not every C&SD table is indexed there; ids can also be read off the table URL on data.censtatd.gov.hk (the '310-31001' part of web_table.html?id=310-31001).

Quick Start

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

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

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/censtatd-hk/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-toolsask_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 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

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 Censtatd Hk data" })

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