Wraps the Bureau of Labor Statistics public API v2 to pull U.S. economic data into your AI workflows. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which offers access to 250+ data sources through a single MCP interface. You can call BLS tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx natural language interface to query economic indicators without memorizing API parameters. Useful when you're building agents that need employment figures, inflation data, or other government economic statistics. Runs as a remote server over streamable HTTP, so no local setup required. The repo itself is light on tool documentation, but it plugs into standard BLS v2 endpoints for time series data retrieval.
Econdata MCP — wraps BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) public API v2
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"econdata": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/econdata/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 Econdata data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
