About Dst Dk
Dst Dk is an MCP server for querying official Statistics Denmark data through its public, keyless API. It supports population snapshots and trends, as well as browsing tables and retrieving data for more detailed analysis.
Key features
- 01Quarterly Denmark population and trend
- 02Browse subject categories and tables
- 03Inspect table metadata and value codes
- 04Retrieve data in JSON-stat or CSV
Use cases
- 01Check Denmark’s latest population snapshot
- 02Find tables for regional or demographic breakdowns
- 03Retrieve selected statistics for analysis
MCP support
Exposes Statistics Denmark population, discovery, metadata, and data-retrieval tools to MCP clients. It can run as a local stdio MCP server or connect through the Pipeworx gateway.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

Details
From the project READMEmcp-dst-dk
Statistics Denmark (Danmarks Statistik / Statbank) MCP. Keyless REST API: https://api.statbank.dk/v1
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1878+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
denmark_population | Denmark's total population in ONE call, from Statistics Denmark (Danmarks Statistik, table FOLK1A), keyless — plus the recent quarterly trend. PREFER for "what is Denmark's population", "how many people live in Denmark", "Danish population growth", "Denmark population according to official statistics". Counts are registered residents at the FIRST DAY of each quarter, so "2026Q2" is a 1 April snapshot, not an average over the quarter. Use list_tables / get_data for breakdowns by region, age, sex or marital status. |
list_subjects | Browse the Statistics Denmark subject tree (People, Labour, Economy, Business, Environment, ...). Pass a subject id to drill into its children; set recursive to expand the whole subtree. |
list_tables | List/search available tables. Filter by subject id, free-text search, or recently-updated tables. Returns table ids (use with table_info / get_data), titles, period range, and variable names. |
table_info | Metadata for a table: title, unit, last updated, and the full list of variables with their codes and valid value ids. READ THIS BEFORE get_data to learn the exact variable codes (e.g. "OMRÅDE", "Tid") and value ids you must pass. |
get_data | Pull data from a table. Provide tableId and a "variables" map of {variableCode: valueOrValues}, using codes/ids from table_info. Each value may be a single id, an array of ids, or "*" for all. Omitted variables that allow elimination are aggregated to total. format "JSONSTAT" (default, structured JSON-stat) or "BULK"/"CSV" (semicolon-delimited text). |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"dst-dk": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dst-dk/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/dst-dk/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1878+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/denmark_population \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/denmark_population. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dst-dk": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-dst-dk"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-dst-dk
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Dst Dk data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
