Stat Ee

What the Stat Ee MCP server does

The Stat Ee MCP server exposes Statistics Estonia’s official national statistics through MCP. It works with data published by Statistikaamet at andmed.stat.ee and does not require an API key. The available subject areas include wages, population, GDP, prices, unemployment, births, and exports.

The search workflow starts with stat_ee_find_table, which accepts plain-English terms such as “average monthly wage” or “consumer price index.” Results include a usable table path, an English label hierarchy, and an indication of whether each result is a folder or a table. The optional fetch_latest setting also retrieves recent figures from the top matching table.

How it works

For a targeted lookup, search for a table first, then pass its path to table_meta. Metadata describes the table’s dimensions and permitted values. Use those values to construct a PxWeb request for query_table. Queries should be kept below the approximately 100,000-cell response limit.

The subjects tool provides another way to navigate the Statistics Estonia catalog. It returns one level of the subject tree at a time, with folders marked as l and tables marked as t; table identifiers end in .px. This is useful when the relevant path is already known, while English-language discovery is better handled by stat_ee_find_table.

For common wage questions, estonia_average_wage is a shorter route. It reads table PA111 and returns average and median monthly gross wage plus a recent quarterly trend. The figures are gross, before income tax and the employee’s contribution share, and are reported per employee position, so a person with multiple jobs can be counted more than once.

Setup and configuration

The Stat Ee MCP server can be connected through the hosted Pipeworx endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stat-ee": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/stat-ee/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The hosted connection also lists shared Pipeworx meta-tools, including ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, and memory tools. The exact tool scope is reported by the connection’s initialize response. ask_pipeworx can route plain-English questions across the wider Pipeworx catalog.

A local stdio installation is also available through the npm package:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stat-ee": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-stat-ee"]
    }
  }
}

Running npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-stat-ee starts the local MCP process. The standalone process exposes only this pack’s tools and does not add the gateway meta-tools. The hosted endpoint and the local package use the same source and tools.

Tools and capabilities

• stat_ee_find_table: Find tables using English keywords and optionally fetch the latest result.
• estonia_average_wage: Return average and median monthly gross wage with a quarterly trend.
• subjects: Browse the Statistics Estonia subject tree.
• table_meta: Inspect dimensions and valid selection values.
• query_table: Retrieve filtered figures from a PxWeb table.

The HTTP gateway also permits direct tool calls through its /v1/tools/... endpoints, so an MCP client is not required for basic HTTP use.

Limitations and notes

The data source is Estonia’s official statistics catalog, so queries should be framed around Estonian national statistics. The wage shortcut is specific to table PA111 and is not the right choice for county or economic-activity breakdowns; use metadata and a filtered table query for those cases. PxWeb selections must use valid dimension values returned by table_meta, and large selections may exceed the roughly 100,000-cell limit. The project is licensed under MIT.
