Browse or keyword-search UNICEF's datasets (dataflows). UNICEF Data covers child health, nutrition, education, child protection, child mortality, child poverty, immunization, water/sanitation/hygiene (WASH) and the child-related SDGs. Each result has an `id` (the dataflowId you pass to dataflow_str…
dataflow_structure
Get the structure (Data Structure Definition) of one UNICEF dataset: its ordered dimensions and, for each, the valid codes (e.g. countries, indicators, sex, age, wealth quintile). Use this to learn how to build the dot-separated SDMX `key` for get_data. The key has one position per dimension, in `d…
get_data
Pull observations from a UNICEF dataset. `key` is a dot-separated SDMX dimension filter, one position per dimension in the order given by dataflow_structure; leave a position empty to wildcard it. Call dataflow_structure first to learn the dimension order and valid codes. Example: get_data({ datafl…

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).
Unicef is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Istat It belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Unicef when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Istat It when you require tools for developer tools.
Browse or keyword-search ISTAT datasets (dataflows). Each result has an `id` (the dataflowId you pass to get_data / dataflow_structure) and an English name. ISTAT publishes ~4,800 datasets, so always pass `query` to filter unless you really want the whole list. Example: list_dataflows({ query: "une…
dataflow_structure
Get the structure (Data Structure Definition) of one ISTAT dataset: its ordered dimensions and, for each, the valid codes. Use this to learn how to build the dot-separated SDMX key for get_data. The key positions correspond to the dimensions in order; an empty position is a wildcard. Example: dataf…
get_data
Pull observations from an ISTAT dataset. `key` is a dot-separated SDMX dimension filter, one position per dimension in the order given by dataflow_structure; leave a position empty to wildcard it. Example: get_data({ dataflow_id: "101_1015", key: "A.IT...", start_period: "2021", end_period: "2023"…
