    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","starwell-mcp"],
    "env": {
      "STARWELL_MCP_URL": "",
      "STARWELL_API_KEY": ""
    }

**Requires environment variables:** `STARWELL_MCP_URL`, `STARWELL_API_KEY` — the values above are empty placeholders; fill in real credentials before running (see the repository for what each one is for).

## Documentation

## What Starwell: World Data & Statistics MCP server does

Starwell: World Data & Statistics MCP server gives AI clients access to official statistical data from 28 agencies. Listed sources include FRED, Statistics Canada, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the World Bank, SEC EDGAR, the U.S. Treasury, the European Central Bank, the UK Office for National Statistics, INSEE, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the OECD, Eurostat, and national statistical offices across Europe and elsewhere.

The service is intended for questions that need identifiable source data rather than uncited generated values. Observations include provenance, and series include a verification status supported by checks against live-source reference values. Open data reads do not require an API key. Computed answers, deeper analysis, and monitor operations require a free Starwell key.

## How it works

The npm package is a thin stdio adapter for Starwell's remote MCP service. Its tool set follows the remote server, so changes to available sources and tools do not require a package release. Clients that support remote MCP can connect directly to the Streamable HTTP endpoint at `https://starwell.dev/api/starwell/mcp`; other setups can launch the package with `npx -y starwell-mcp`.

Starwell: World Data & Statistics MCP server returns data from openly licensed official sources. Responses include source attribution and licensing information. The README specifically notes public-domain U.S. federal statistical works, the Statistics Canada Open Licence, World Bank CC BY-4.0, and open licences associated with several European and Australian agencies. FRED data is accessed through its API, without endorsement or certification from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

## Tools and capabilities

The server exposes 12 tools:

- `search_catalog` searches the available data catalog.
- `list_sources` lists source agencies.
- `list_datasets` lists datasets.
- `get_series` retrieves a series.
- `get_series_stats` obtains statistics for a series.
- `get_observations` retrieves observations.
- `factory_status` reports factory status.
- `answer` produces computed, cited answers.
- `deep_analysis` runs deeper analysis.
- `create_monitor`, `list_monitors`, and `delete_monitor` manage monitors.

Together, these tools support finding a dataset, selecting a series, retrieving observations, and generating cited computed results. The material does not specify the exact input schemas or monitor scheduling behavior, so those details should be checked in the service documentation.

## Setup and configuration

Remote-capable clients can use the Streamable HTTP URL directly. The README provides configurations for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenAI Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and ChatGPT developer mode. For stdio configurations, launch `npx -y starwell-mcp` and register it as an MCP server.

Set `STARWELL_API_KEY` to a bearer key from the Starwell account page when using `answer`, `deep_analysis`, or monitor tools. Leave it unset for open data reads. `STARWELL_MCP_URL` can replace the default endpoint, including for staging or self-hosted deployments.

## Limitations and notes

The package depends on the remote Starwell service, and its tool surface can change as that service changes. Only openly licensed official sources are served. The provided material does not document rate limits, historical coverage for individual datasets, response schemas, or the behavior of each agency-specific connector. Verify those details before building workflows that depend on a particular series or source.
