Data source

https://data-api.ecb.europa.eu/service/data/<flowRef>/<key>?format=jsondata

Key syntax is dot-separated dimension values. Empty positions = wildcard. E.g. D.USD.EUR.SP00.A is daily USD-against-EUR.

Quick Start

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

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

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

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

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Ecb data" })

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