Connects Claude to Statistics Iceland's PxWeb API with three operations: browse the subject and database tree, fetch table metadata including dimensions and valid values, and query tables for actual data. No API key required. The query tool takes standard PxWeb JSON payloads, though you'll want to filter dimensions aggressively since PxWeb enforces request size limits. Part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can either use it standalone or access it through their unified endpoint alongside 250+ other data sources. Useful when you need Icelandic demographic, economic, or social statistics without leaving your AI workflow.
Statistics Iceland (Hagstofa Íslands) PxWeb MCP. Keyless.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
subjects | Navigate the database/subject tree. Root lists databases; sub-paths list folders (type "l") and tables (type "t", id ends in ".px"). |
table_meta | Table definition (dimensions, valid values). Path must include the ".px" table suffix. |
query_table | Pull data from a table (path includes the ".px" suffix). body is a PxWeb query object. PxWeb limits request size — filter dimensions to keep the cell count small. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"hagstofa-is": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hagstofa-is/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 Hagstofa Is data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
