AusEcon MCP Server

Getting Started

Requirements

Section titled “Requirements”
  • Python 3.10+.
  • uv for the uvx launcher.
  • An MCP client that supports local stdio servers.

Install

Section titled “Install”

The package is published to PyPI and is intended to be launched on demand:

Terminal window
uvx ausecon-mcp-server

On first use, uvx downloads the package into an isolated cached environment. The process then waits for an MCP client to connect over standard input/output.

Section titled “Recommended workflow”
  1. Use list_economic_concepts for ordinary economic requests such as GDP, CPI, unemployment, wages, cash rate, credit, exchange rates, or yields.
  2. Use get_economic_series with the selected concept.
  3. Use search_datasets, list_catalogue, get_abs_dataset_structure, get_abs_data, and get_rba_table when you need source-native ABS/RBA control.

First retrieval pattern

Section titled “First retrieval pattern”
list_economic_concepts(query="cash rate")
get_economic_series(
  concept="cash_rate_target",
  start="2020-01-01"
)

Retrieval responses include metadata, series, and observations. Semantic retrievals also include metadata.semantic, recording the resolved source target and normalised date bounds.
