Data360 Overview

Data360 MCP server exposes the World Bank Data360 platform through tools for discovering source databases, searching indicators, and retrieving observations.

  • List the source databases available through World Bank Data360
  • Search for indicators across development, health, labor, education, and financial datasets
  • Retrieve a country's observations for a selected indicator
  • Fetch a complete time series with SDMX-style dimensions
