Israel Statistics MCP
by reuvenaor
This server provides access to Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) price indices, inflation data, and housing statistics, enabling AI assistants to query, analyze, and calculate economic trends.
Search and discover indices: Find price-index topics by keyword (e.g., "food", "housing", "energy"), list all index categories (CPI, housing, producer prices, construction, agriculture, etc.), and drill into topics within a specific category.
Retrieve index codes and historical data: Get numeric codes for specific topics, then fetch time-series price data with optional date range filtering or pagination.
Calculate inflation/price adjustments: Use the official CBS inflation calculator to adjust a monetary amount (in shekels or historical Israeli currencies) between any two dates.
Access headline indices: Retrieve today's headline indices or view them over a month range (back to January 1997).
Explore the full index tree: Fetch all indices for the current month, optionally filtered by category.
Key notes:
All tools are read-only and free — no API key required
Supports both Hebrew (default) and English responses
Housing data updates every two months; recent values may be provisional
Covers CPI, housing, producer prices, construction costs, agriculture, transportation, and more
Provides programmatic access to the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) price indices and economic data, allowing retrieval and analysis of consumer price indices, housing market data, producer price indices, and other economic statistics for Israel.
Supports deployment and running via Docker containers, with published images available on Docker Hub.
Implements code quality checking with modern flat configuration and TypeScript rules.
Provides distribution as an NPM package for easy installation.
Uses pnpm for package management with specific development commands available.
Ensures consistent code formatting throughout the codebase.
Built with TypeScript providing type-safe validation for all inputs and outputs when interacting with the Israeli statistics data.
Uses Vitest for unit and integration testing of the MCP server functionality.
Provides parsing and transformation capabilities for XML responses from the CBS API.
Implements comprehensive schema validation for all inputs and outputs using Zod.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Israel Statistics MCP what's the current consumer price index for Israel?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Israel Statistics MCP
Ask your AI assistant about Israeli inflation, prices, and housing data — straight from the official Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).
Once installed, Claude (or any MCP-enabled assistant) can look up price indices, chart historical trends, and run the official CBS inflation calculator for you. No API key needed — the CBS data is free and public.
Install
Claude Desktop
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), then restart Claude:
{
"mcpServers": {
"israel-statistics": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp"]
}
}
}Claude Code
One command in your terminal:
claude mcp add israel-statistics -- npx -y @reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcpAny other MCP client
Use the same npx command and args as above — that's all a client needs.
Prefer Docker?

"mcpServers": {
"israel-statistics": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--init",
"--rm",
"-i",
"reuvenaor/israel-statistics-mcp:latest"
]
}
}
}Related MCP server: mcp-bcb-br
What can I ask?
Just talk to your assistant naturally:
"How much is 1,000 ₪ from January 2015 worth today?"
"What's the latest Israeli inflation number?"
"Show me housing price trends from 2020 to 2024."
"Which price indices exist for food? Compare bread vs. fresh vegetables."
"Link my 2018 rent of 4,500 ₪ to today using the CPI."
Answers come in Hebrew by default (it's the CBS default) — just ask in English to get English.
What's inside
9 read-only tools your assistant uses behind the scenes:
Tool | What it does |
| Search all price-index topics by keyword |
| List the index categories (CPI, housing, …) |
| Topics inside one category |
| The concrete index codes for a topic |
| Historical values for one index |
| Official CBS inflation adjustment between two dates |
| Today's headline indices |
| Headline indices over a month range |
| The full current-month index tree |
Good to know
Housing data updates every two months, and the last three published values are provisional — the server warns automatically when recent housing numbers may still change.
History depth varies — the general CPI goes back decades; the headline month-range view starts at January 1997.
It's read-only and free — the server only reads public CBS data over HTTPS (
api.cbs.gov.il) and talks to nothing else. No account, no key, no tracking.

TDQS
B3.3/5.0
Scored across 9 tools
Disambiguation4/5
Most tools have distinct purposes, such as get_catalog_chapters for chapters and get_index_data for index data, but there is some overlap between get_all_indices and get_main_indices that could cause confusion. The descriptions help clarify, but an agent might need to infer the difference between 'all indices' and 'main indices'.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with 'get_' prefix, such as get_all_indices and get_index_data. There are no deviations in naming style, making the set predictable and easy to parse.
Tool Count5/5
With 9 tools, the count is well-scoped for a statistics API server, covering various aspects like indices, chapters, topics, and calculations. Each tool appears to serve a specific function without redundancy, fitting the domain appropriately.
Completeness4/5
The tool set provides comprehensive coverage for querying and calculating statistics, including data retrieval, catalog browsing, and calculations. A minor gap might be the lack of update or delete operations, but this is reasonable for a read-only statistics API, and agents can work around this limitation.
