Un Sdg Tools (5)
list_goals
List the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (code, title, description). Optionally drill into one goal to get its targets and indicators.
list_indicators
The queryable catalog of SDG indicators. Each indicator (e.g. "1.1.1") nests its data series with their series codes (e.g. "SI_POV_DAY1"). Use a series code as seriesCode in get_series_data.
list_series
Flat list of all SDG data series (series code + description + goal/target/indicator it belongs to). Series codes are what you pass to get_series_data. Use this when you want the raw series list rather than the indicator-nested view from list_indicators.
list_geoareas
List geographic areas with their M49 area codes (e.g. 1 = World, 4 = Afghanistan, 8 = Albania). Pass an M49 code as areaCode in get_series_data.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Codealive MCP is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Un Sdg belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Codealive MCP when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Un Sdg when you require tools for developer tools.
Get observations for an SDG series in a geographic area over a time range. seriesCode comes from list_indicators/list_series; areaCode is an M49 code from list_geoareas. Returns { data: [...] } where each observation has value, timePeriodStart, geoAreaName, source, footnotes, etc.
