Key features
- 01Find statistical tables by keyword
- 02Fetch latest figures in one call
- 03Browse the subject tree
- 04Inspect dimensions and valid values
- 05Query statistics with filters
Use cases
- 01Look up Estonia wage and population data
- 02Find GDP, price, or unemployment tables
- 03Filter table figures by region or industry
MCP support
It exposes Statistics Estonia table discovery and data-query tools to MCP clients through Pipeworx or a local stdio MCP server.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
46| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| q | string | No | Alias for question. |
| ask | string | No | Alias for question. |
| text | string | No | Alias for question. |
| input | string | No | Alias for question. |
| packs | array | No | OPTIONAL. Restrict routing to these pack slugs (e.g. ["sec-form-d","sec-13f"]) — the router then picks only from tools in those packs. Omit for the default full-catalog routing. Slugs come from list_packs / search_packs / https://pipeworx.io/directory; unlisted or unknown slugs are ignored and named in _meta.pack_scope.ignored, and if none of them resolves the question is routed across the whole catalog with _meta.pack_scope.full_catalog:true (never an empty answer). |
| query | string | No | Alias for question. |
| prompt | string | No | Alias for question. |
| message | string | No | Alias for question. |
| question | string | Yes | Your question or request in natural language. Accepts query, q, prompt, text, input, ask, message as aliases. |

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
stat_ee_find_table | Search Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet) for ESTONIA official statistics tables by plain-English keyword — "average monthly wage", "population", "GDP", "unemployment", "consumer price index", "births", "exports". Returns each matching table with its full ready-to-use path, its English label chain (e.g. "Economy > Wages and salaries and labour costs > Wages and salaries"), and whether it is a folder or a table. START HERE for any question about Estonian data. Set fetch_latest:true to also return the most recent figures from the top-matching table in one call — useful for "what is the current X in Estonia" questions. Otherwise hand the returned path to table_meta, then query_table, to get the figures. Searches English labels, so English words find the table even though the path ids themselves are Estonian slugs. |
estonia_average_wage | Estonia's average and MEDIAN monthly gross wage in ONE call, from Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet, table PA111), keyless, with the recent quarterly trend. PREFER for "what is the average wage in Estonia", "Estonian salary", "average monthly wage in Estonia according to official statistics", "are Estonian wages rising". GROSS (before income tax and the employee's share of contributions) and per EMPLOYEE POSITION, so somebody holding two jobs is counted twice. Use subjects/table_meta/query_table for breakdowns by economic activity or county. |
subjects | Browse Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet) official ESTONIA national statistics — the subject tree of available tables, one level at a time. Items are type "l" (folder) or "t" (table, id ends in .px). Handy for listing everything under a path you already know; to go straight from an English question ("average monthly wage in Estonia") to a table path in one call, use stat_ee_find_table. Follow either with table_meta + query_table to pull the actual figures. |
table_meta | Table definition (dimensions, valid values) for a Statistics Estonia table. Use these to build a filtered query_table call. |
query_table | Pull ESTONIA official statistics figures from a Statistics Estonia (Statistikaamet) table — wages, population, GDP, prices, unemployment. body is a PxWeb query object; get valid dimension values from table_meta first. Filter selections to stay under the ~100k-cell limit. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"stat-ee": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/stat-ee/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/stat-ee/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 1764+ 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/stat_ee_find_table \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"query":"average monthly wage","fetch_latest":true}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/stat_ee_find_table. 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": {
"stat-ee": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-stat-ee"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-stat-ee
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 Stat Ee 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.
