@pipeworx/fbi-crime

FBI Crime Data Explorer (UCR/NIBRS) MCP — aggregated crime statistics.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Distinct from fbiwanted (active fugitives). This pack covers crime counts and rates at the agency, state, and national level.

Tools

• list_agencies(state_abbr?)

• get_agency(ori)

• national_estimate(offense, from?, to?)

• state_summary(state_abbr, offense, from?, to?)

• agency_summary(ori, offense, from?, to?)

• list_offense_slugs() — valid offense slugs (no key)

Related MCP server: cpl-mcp

Auth

• Platform key: reuses PLATFORM_DATAGOV_KEY (the data.gov umbrella key).

• BYO: ?_apiKey=<key> after registering at https://api.data.gov/signup.

Data source

https://api.usa.gov/crime/fbi/cde/ — ?api_key= query param. Upstream is intermittently flaky on DEMO_KEY; registered keys generally fare better.

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fbi-crime": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fbi-crime/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 Fbi Crime data" })

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