🎯 Overview

BCRP-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless access to economic and financial time series data from the BCRP (Banco Central de Reserva del Perú) - Central Reserve Bank of Peru. This server enables AI agents and applications to search, explore, and analyze Peru's economic indicators, financial statistics, and monetary data through a standardized MCP interface.

🚀 How to Use

Claude Desktop (Remote Server)

Note: Requires npx which comes bundled with npm. If you don't have npm installed, install Node.js which includes npm.

Add to Claude Desktop config (Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bcrp_mcp_remote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://bcrp-mcp.onrender.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Local Server

Note: Make sure you have uv installed. If not, install it from uv.tool.

Clone and install:

git clone https://github.com/rodcar/bcrp-mcp.git
cd bcrp-mcp
uv sync

Add to Claude Desktop config (Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

Note: Replace /path/to/bcrp-mcp with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simple_mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/bcrp-mcp",
        "run",
        "main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

MCP Inspector (Alternative)

Note: Requires npx which comes bundled with npm. If you don't have npm installed, install Node.js which includes npm.

Note: Replace /path/to/bcrp-mcp with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

Run

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \
  uv \
  --directory /path/to/bcrp-mcp \                     
  run \
  main.py

Open MCP Inspector (URL displayed in the console) and configure the MCP client with the following settings:

• Transport Type: Streamable HTTP

• URL: http://bcrp-mcp.onrender.com/mcp

• Request Timeout: Increase from default values

• Maximum Total Timeout: Increase from default values

• Proxy Session Token: Use the token generated in the console

Note: bcrpy was used in early development, is no longer a dependency. Unfortunately the performance for the remote MCP server led to response timeouts.
