Connects Claude to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis API for pulling live economic data. You get three core tools: parameter_values and parameter_values_filtered for discovering valid query inputs, and get_data for fetching actual datasets like GDP, personal income, and trade statistics. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can either point directly at this BEA endpoint or connect to their full gateway for 250+ data sources. Includes an ask_pipeworx tool that handles natural language queries instead of manual parameter wrangling. Useful when you need authoritative U.S. economic indicators without leaving your AI workflow.
BEA — Bureau of Economic Analysis MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
parameter_values | Valid values for a parameter. |
parameter_values_filtered | Filter-aware valid values. |
get_data | Actual data (params per dataset). |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"bea-gov": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bea-gov/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Bea Gov data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
