📊 Monitly MCP Server – Official Statistics for AI Agents

Monitly MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and any MCP-compatible agent direct access to official statistics and economic indicators – Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, IMF, WHO and national statistical offices – for 150+ countries.

Ask in plain language: the agent finds the right dataset, checks the country coverage and pulls the time series.

Quick start

1. Create a free account at monit.ly and generate an MCP key in Settings → Integrations → MCP (direct link). MCP keys start with mcpk_.
2. Add the server to your client.

Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Claude Desktop (mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monitly": {
      "url": "https://monit.ly/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http monitly https://monit.ly/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"

Clients that only support stdio (via mcp-remote):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "monitly": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://monit.ly/api/mcp",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"]
    }
  }
}

Field	Value

Tools

Data tools (count toward the monthly mcp_queries quota)

Tool	What it does
search_catalog	Find statistical datasets (Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, IMF…) with hybrid search (name/code + embeddings). Optional country and source_name filters. Returns compact dataset cards.
search_datasets	Alias of search_catalog.
inspect_dataset	Peek one dataset: default slice, whether a country is covered, dataId and the latest values.
get_dataset	Full metadata for one dataset: description, source and metadata URLs, dimensions, period range, geographies.
execute_sql	Read-only SELECT against the main and data tables to pull a full time series.
export_dataset	CSV download URL for a dataset, optionally filtered by countries and dimension values.

Account tools (free)

Tool	What it does
list_plans, get_plan, get_usage	Plans, current plan and limits, usage this billing period.
upgrade_plan	Returns a Stripe Checkout URL for the Pro plan.
list_watchlist, add_to_watchlist, add_watchlist_batch, remove_from_watchlist	Follow datasets and get alerts when they update.
set_notification_preferences	E-mail / Slack alert settings.
list_api_keys, create_api_key, delete_api_key	REST API keys (mon_…).
list_mcp_keys, create_mcp_key, delete_mcp_key	MCP keys (mcpk_…).

initialize, tools/list and ping are never metered and work without a key, so clients can list tools before you add one.
