Description

ecos_key_indicators

Bank of Korea headline economic indicators: M1/M2 money supply, KRW/USD + KRW/JPY exchange rates, base interest rate, CPI, PPI, GDP growth, current account balance, household debt, unemployment, housing index — 101 series total in one call. Each row: indicator name, current value, cycle date, unit. Use for "what is Korea's [exchange rate / interest rate / CPI / GDP] right now". Updates daily.

ecos_search_tables

Search Bank of Korea ECOS statistic tables — 800+ official Korean economic series across monetary policy, exchange rates, prices, balance of payments, GDP, real estate, household credit, etc. Returns stat_code + Korean name + cycle (A annual / Q quarterly / M monthly / D daily). Use as a directory before ecos_get_series. q is matched substring-wise against the Korean name; pass blank to browse top-N.

ecos_series_items

List the items (sub-series) within a Bank of Korea ECOS statistic table. Most stat_codes have multiple sub-items (e.g., the exchange-rate table has rows per currency: USD, JPY, EUR, ...). Pass the stat_code from ecos_search_tables; returns item_code, item_name, cycle, data_count, start/end period. Use to discover the exact item codes needed by ecos_get_series.

ecos_get_series

Fetch a time series from Bank of Korea ECOS. Pass stat_code + cycle (A/Q/M/D) + start/end period. Date format matches the cycle: yearly = "2024", quarterly = "2024Q3", monthly = "202403", daily = "20240315". Optionally narrow to specific item_code(s) via item1/item2/item3/item4. Returns rows with stat_name, item_name, unit, time, data_value. Use after ecos_search_tables + ecos_series_items to discover codes.

Quick Start

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

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

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ecos-kr/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 1683+ 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/ecos_key_indicators \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"limit":50}'

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

Standalone (no gateway account)

This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:

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

Or run it directly to confirm it starts:

npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-ecos-kr

It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.

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 Ecos Kr data" })

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