Australian Economic Data MCP Server

ausecon-mcp-server is the open, free, no-API-key way to get official Australian economic data into any MCP client — with reliable discovery, fresh and fully source-traceable retrieval (any cache fallback is flagged, never silent), and stable JSON outputs in one consistent shape. It is built for analysts, economists, and MCP clients, not as a general economic chatbot.

Every value is fetched live and stamped with its provenance, and the data is checked nightly against the official sources — see Data freshness and provenance.

What it provides

• Dataset discovery across curated Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), and Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) entries.
• Analyst-friendly semantic concepts such as CPI, GDP growth, unemployment, cash rate, yields, credit, APRA banking and insurance ratios, and external-sector indicators.
• Source-native retrieval tools for exact ABS SDMX keys, RBA statistical tables, and curated APRA publications.
• Normalised retrieval responses with explicit metadata, series descriptors, observations, and server-version provenance.
• Read-only MCP resources and prompt templates for common economist workflows.

Current status

Version 1.13.0 is the current release line. The server remains intentionally selective: it covers the main analyst workflows, supports stdio plus hosted Streamable HTTP, and does not aim to mirror every ABS, RBA, or APRA release.

Quick install

uvx ausecon-mcp-server

The server speaks MCP over standard input/output and is normally launched by your MCP client.
