Bls Labor MCP Server Overview

The bls-labor-mcp-server MCP server connects AI agents to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics API v2 and LABSTAT catalog. It can discover surveys, resolve human descriptions to SeriesIDs, retrieve historical observations or latest values, and calculate supported period-over-period changes. Optional DuckDB DataCanvas support adds SQL queries over registered results. Reach for it when an agent needs CPI, employment, wage, JOLTS, or other BLS labor statistics through stdio or Streamable HTTP.

Primary Use Cases for Bls Labor MCP Server:
  • Find BLS SeriesIDs from natural-language economic questions
  • Fetch CPI, unemployment, wage, or JOLTS time series
  • Retrieve the latest value for multiple labor indicators
  • Run SQL analysis across registered BLS result dataframes
