DML BPS MCP Server

CI Deploy Release License: MIT Node.js Deployed

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for BPS (Badan Pusat Statistik) Indonesia official statistics data — by Digimetalab. Enables AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and others to access official Indonesian statistical data through natural language.

Features

  • 59 tools covering all BPS WebAPI v1 endpoints + AllStats Search + AI-friendly shortcuts + SIMDASI + SDGs + SDDS + KBLI/KBKI classifications

  • AI-friendlyfind_data tool with automatic intent detection (resolve region → detect intent → find variable → fetch data)

  • Intent Detection — automatically detects: single value, comparison, trend, ranking, table/breakdown, publication

  • Stopwords-ISO — automatic noise removal for 758 Indonesian + 1298 English words

  • Static Table Fallbackfind_data automatically falls back to static tables when dynamic data is unavailable (e.g., religion data)

  • Result Hints — every response includes actionable follow-up tips

  • AllStats Search Integration — unified search + full-text PDF search (no API key required)

  • Smart Fallback — WebAPI search automatically falls back to AllStats if no results

  • 3 MCP Resources — domain list, regencies per province, subjects per domain

  • 5 MCP Prompts — ready-to-use data analysis templates

  • Domain Resolver with fuzzy matching (type "Jatim" → Jawa Timur)

  • Data Formatter that converts raw BPS data into readable format

  • Persistent Learning Store — auto-learns variable mappings, survives restarts

  • In-memory Cache with TTL per data type

  • Rate Limiting — 60 req/min per API key (remote worker)

  • Bilingual — error messages and responses support both Indonesian and English

  • Automatic BPS Attribution in every response (per Terms of Use)

  • BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — each user must provide their own BPS API key

Prerequisites

Quick Start

BPS_API_KEY=your_key npx dml-bps-mcp

Clone & Run

git clone https://github.com/Digimetalab/dml-bps-mcp
cd dml-bps-mcp
npm install
npm run build
BPS_API_KEY=your_key npm start

Remote Access via Cloudflare Workers

The server is deployed and publicly available at:

https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp

Health check: https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev

Using with Claude.ai

  1. Open claude.ai → Settings → Integrations → Add custom connector

  2. Enter:

    • Name: BPS Statistics

    • URL: https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp

  3. Claude will open the authorization page

  4. Enter your BPS API key (free from webapi.bps.go.id)

  5. Click "Authorize" — done!

The server uses OAuth 2.1 per MCP spec. Your API key is securely stored server-side and never exposed to the client.

Using with Other AI Clients (Remote MCP)

For AI clients supporting remote MCP with OAuth (ChatGPT, Cursor remote, etc.):

MCP Server URL: https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp

The client will automatically initiate the OAuth flow — users only need to enter their BPS API key when the authorization page appears.

Using with Custom Headers (without OAuth)

For clients supporting custom headers (Claude Desktop, Cursor local):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dml-bps-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-BPS-API-Key": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Self-hosted

Deploy as a serverless worker to your own Cloudflare account:

Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

See the full guide at docs/DEPLOY-WORKERS.md.

Note: BPS WebAPI (https://webapi.bps.go.id) no longer blocks requests from Cloudflare Workers, so you can access it directly (no proxy needed). However, the AllStats Search Engine (https://searchengine.web.bps.go.id) is still blocked by Cloudflare bot challenges. If you use Cloudflare Workers and want AllStats Search/Deep Search features, use bps-api-proxy as a relay (deploy on a server with a residential IP) and set BPS_ALLSTATS_BASE_URL in wrangler.toml to the proxy URL.

How AI Uses This Server

User: "What was Indonesia's poverty rate in 2023?"

AI uses: find_data(query="poverty", region="Indonesia", year="2023")

Internal process (automatic):
1. Intent Detection: "single_value" → find_data
2. Resolve "Indonesia" → domain 0000
3. Normalize: "poverty" → stopword filtering
4. Find relevant subject → "Kemiskinan dan Ketimpangan"
5. Find variable → "Jumlah Penduduk Miskin" (var_id: 183)
6. Resolve "2023" → period ID 123
7. Fetch data → 25.9 million people
8. Result hints: "Check Gini ratio: get_dynamic_data(var="98")"

If find_data fails, the AI can:
- find_variable(keyword="poverty") → see available variables
- list_strategic_indicators() → latest headline data
- search(keyword="poverty") → find related tables/publications

User: "Compare poverty in East Java and West Java"
AI uses: compare_data(query="poverty", regions="Jawa Timur, Jawa Barat")

User: "Trend of unemployment in Indonesia 2019-2024"
AI uses: get_trend(query="unemployment", region="Indonesia", start_year="2019", end_year="2024")

User: "Top 10 poorest provinces"
AI uses: get_ranking(query="poverty", top_n=10, order="highest")

User: "Religious affiliation statistics in Jombang Regency"
AI uses: find_data(query="religion", region="Kab Jombang")
→ Intent: "table" → find_data with static table fallback
→ Automatically fetches "Population by Religion" static table
→ Result hints: "Check more detail: list_static_tables(keyword="religion")"

Example Queries

"What was Indonesia's poverty rate in 2023?"
"Compare poverty rates between East Java and West Java 2020-2023"
"Unemployment trend in Indonesia from 2019 to 2024"
"Top 10 provinces with highest poverty rate"
"Rank all provinces by HDI 2023"
"Latest press releases about inflation"
"Indonesia's coffee export data for 2024"
"Find publications about telecommunications statistics"
"Search for 'internet access' inside BPS publications"
"What is East Java's HDI?"
"Latest quarterly economic growth"

git clone https://github.com/Digimetalab/dml-bps-mcp
cd dml-bps-mcp
npm install

Build & Test

npm run build          # Compile TypeScript
npm run test:unit      # Run unit tests (164 tests)
npm run lint           # ESLint check
npm run typecheck      # TypeScript type check

Running Locally

# With environment variable
BPS_API_KEY=your_key npm start

# Or create a .env file (see .env.example)
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env, fill in BPS_API_KEY
npm start

Testing with MCP Inspector

MCP Inspector lets you test tools interactively:

# Install and run inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

# In the inspector UI:
# 1. Transport: stdio
# 2. Command: node
# 3. Args: dist/index.js
# 4. Env: BPS_API_KEY=your_key

Or test directly via stdin (without inspector):

# Test initialize
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}' | node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

# Test find_data
printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"find_data","arguments":{"query":"inflation","region":"Indonesia"}}}\n' | node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

Testing Remote Worker (Local)

# Start worker locally
npm run dev:worker

# Test in another terminal
curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "X-BPS-API-Key: your_key" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'
