Summary
Gives Claude direct access to Statistics Canada's official datasets through their Web Data Service API. No authentication required, which makes it frictionless for querying Canadian economic indicators, census data, labor statistics, and other government datasets. Part of the Pipeworx gateway system, so you can either use it standalone or tap into their broader collection of data sources. Includes an ask_pipeworx tool that handles natural language queries instead of making you construct API calls manually. Reach for this when you need authoritative Canadian statistics without the usual API key dance or when you're building analytics that mix StatCan data with other sources through the Pipeworx hub.

Statistics Canada (StatCan) WDS MCP — Canadian official statistics (no auth)
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"statscan": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/statscan/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Statscan data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
