Connects Claude to e-Stat, the official portal for Japanese government statistics. You get three tools: browse the data catalog to find table groupings, fetch metadata to see available dimensions and codes for a stats table, and pull actual observations with optional filtering by dimension. Use it when you need Japanese economic indicators, demographics, trade data, or any official stats published by ministries and agencies. Runs on Pipeworx's gateway infrastructure via streamable HTTP, so no local setup. You can call tools directly or use the natural language ask_pipeworx wrapper to query in plain English and let the gateway route to the right endpoint.
