📊 SCB MCP Server

SCB MCP är server som LLM:s och AI-chatbotar kan använda för att söka, hitta och hämta officiell data och statistik från Statistikbyrån (SCB). Det omfattar 1 200+ statistiktabeller med data om befolkning & demografi, ekonomi & finans, miljö, arbetsmarknad, utbildning och transport. Perfekt för att bygga interaktiva instrumentpaneler, forskningsverktyg och utbildningsapplikationer.

Översikt

🚀 Installation

Servern körs lokalt via stdio. Klona, bygg och peka din MCP-klient mot dist/index.js.

bash

git clone https://github.com/isakskogstad/SCB-MCP.git
cd SCB-MCP
npm install
npm run build

Claude Code (CLI)

Terminal

claude mcp add scb -- node /absolut/sökväg/till/SCB-MCP/dist/index.js

Claude Desktop / Codex / Gemini / Cursor (stdio)

Lägg till i klientens MCP-konfiguration (t.ex. ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json för Claude Desktop):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scb": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolut/sökväg/till/SCB-MCP/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

🇬🇧 Installation (English)

The server runs locally over stdio. Clone, build, and point your MCP client to dist/index.js.

bash

git clone https://github.com/isakskogstad/SCB-MCP.git
cd SCB-MCP
npm install
npm run build

Claude Code (CLI)

Terminal

claude mcp add scb -- node /absolute/path/to/SCB-MCP/dist/index.js

Claude Desktop / Codex / Gemini / Cursor (stdio)

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scb": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/SCB-MCP/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Användarguide

1. Sök efter statistiktabeller

python

# Hitta befolkningsrelaterade tabeller
results = scb.search_tables(query="befolkning statistik", limit=10)

# Filtrera efter kategori
results = scb.search_tables(query="miljö", category="environment", limit=5)

🇬🇧 Usage guide (English)

1. Search for statistical tables

python

results = scb.search_tables(query="population", limit=10)
results = scb.search_tables(query="environment", category="environment", limit=5)

2. Hitta regionkoder

python

# Lerum kommun
region = scb.find_region_code(query="Lerum")
# Returnerar: code="1441", name="Lerum"

# Större regioner
region = scb.find_region_code(query="Stockholm")
# Returnerar: code="01" (län), code="0180" (kommun)

# Fuzzy matching - fungerar utan svenska tecken
region = scb.find_region_code(query="Goteborg")
# Returnerar: code="1480", name="Göteborg"

🇬🇧 Resolve region codes (English)

python

region = scb.find_region_code(query="Lerum")
region = scb.find_region_code(query="Stockholm")

# Fuzzy matching - works without Swedish characters
region = scb.find_region_code(query="Goteborg")
# Returns: code="1480", name="Göteborg"

3. Hämta data

python

# Medelålder i Lerum 2024
data = scb.get_table_data(
    tableId="TAB637",
    selection={
        "Region": ["1441"],
        "Kon": ["1+2"],
        "Tid": ["2024"],
        "ContentsCode": ["BE0101G9"]
    }
)
# Resultat: Medelålder i Lerum 2024: 40.1 år

🇬🇧 Fetch data (English)

python

data = scb.get_table_data(
    tableId="TAB637",
    selection={
        "Region": ["1441"],
        "Kon": ["1+2"],
        "Tid": ["2024"],
        "ContentsCode": ["BE0101G9"]
    }
)

Best practices

Problem	Lösning
Stor datamängd?	Använd alltid `preview_data()` först för att testa
För mycket data?	Använd `"TOP(5)"` istället för `"*"` för tidsperioder
Felaktiga koder?	Anropa `get_table_variables()` först — koder varierar mellan tabeller
Osäker på enheter?	Kontrollera variabeletikett för enheter (kt, ton, procent osv.)

🇬🇧 Best practices (English)

Issue	Solution
Large dataset?	Always use `preview_data()` first to test
Too much data?	Use `"TOP(5)"` instead of `"*"` for time periods
Wrong codes?	Call `get_table_variables()` first — codes vary between tables
Unsure about units?	Check variable label for units (kt, tonnes, percent, etc.)

Praktiska exempel

Ex: Befolkningstrend Lerum vs Stockholm

python

# Jämför två regioner över tid
data = scb.get_table_data(
    tableId="TAB637",
    selection={
        "Region": ["1441", "0180"],  # Lerum och Stockholm
        "Kon": ["1+2"],
        "Tid": ["TOP(5)"],
        "ContentsCode": ["BE0101G9"]
    }
)
# Stockholm: 41.0 år (2024), Lerum: 40.1 år (2024)
# Trend: Stockholm åldras snabbare

🇬🇧 Example 1: Population trends (English)

python

data = scb.get_table_data(
    tableId="TAB637",
    selection={
        "Region": ["1441", "0180"],  # Lerum and Stockholm
        "Kon": ["1+2"],
        "Tid": ["TOP(5)"],
        "ContentsCode": ["BE0101G9"]
    }
)
# Stockholm: 41.0 years (2024), Lerum: 40.1 years (2024)
