Australian economic data (ABS + RBA): CPI, GDP, cash rate, labour, external sector.
MCP server for FinanceRateCalc — query lender-level FHA denial statistics from the complete 2025 federal HMDA record. Historical observations, never individual predictions.
Expert/source-native RBA statistical table retrieval in a normalised response shape.
get_apra_data
Expert/source-native APRA public XLSX publication retrieval.
Only curated official APRA publication IDs are accepted; arbitrary URLs are not.
get_economic_series
Preferred analyst-facing retrieval tool for curated ABS/RBA economic concepts.
Use list_economic_concepts for discovery. Date bounds accept YYYY, YYYY-QN,
YYYY-SN, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD and are normalised to the resolved source.
get_derived_series
Read-only retrieval for the narrow transparent derived series layer.
Date bounds accept YYYY, YYYY-QN, YYYY-SN, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD and
are normalised to the derived series frequency.
get_latest_observations
Source-aware convenience wrapper for the latest observations.
For a single curated indicator prefer get_economic_series(concept=...), which
resolves one series; pass series_ids=[...] to narrow a broad dataset instead of
returning every series it contains.
get_top_observations
Source-aware convenience wrapper for highest or lowest numeric observations.
For a single curated indicator prefer get_economic_series(concept=...), which
resolves one series; pass series_ids=[...] to narrow a broad dataset instead of
returning every series it contains.
