Common questions

Is Statistik Austria MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 9 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Statistik Austria MCP Server An MCP server that gives AI assistants access to Statistik Austria's open data portal

About The Project

A Model Context Protocol server for the free Open Government Data portal of Statistik Austria (data.statistik.gv.at). It lets an AI assistant such as Claude search the catalog, read a dataset's structure and fetch its data directly, instead of you downloading and pasting CSV files.

The portal publishes each dataset as a set of files with coded values, so a raw table is hard for a model to read correctly. The server joins the classification files onto the data, so every value arrives as a readable German label together with its original code, and marks the rows that are totals of other rows.

Built as a personal learning project to practise building MCP servers.

Features:

Keyword search over the full OGD catalog (around 540 datasets)
Dataset metadata: dimensions and measures
Data with codes resolved to German labels, formatted label
Total rows are flagged, so the assistant doesn't add a total to its own parts
Filters by dimension value, so large tables don't have to be read in full
Paging that never drops rows silently: every response says how many rows exist and where to continue
Clear messages for datasets in formats the server can't read, instead of a bare error
Downloads are cached for an hour, so paging through a dataset doesn't download it again

Built With

Python 3
MCP Python SDK
pandas
httpx2
cachetools
uv

( back to top )

Getting Started

The server runs locally on your computer and talks to your MCP client over stdio. uvx installs and starts it, so there is nothing to clone for normal use.

Prerequisites

uv (it downloads a matching Python version automatically)
Git
Claude Desktop or Claude Code (or any other MCP client)

Installation

Claude Desktop

Open the config file. In Claude Desktop, go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config, or open it directly:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the server

"mcpServers": { "statistik-austria": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/DV155/Statistik-Austria-MCP-Server", "statistik-austria-mcp"] } } }

3. Quit Claude Desktop completely and start it again.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope user statistik-austria -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/DV155/Statistik-Austria-MCP-Server statistik-austria-mcp

The first start takes a while, because uv installs the dependencies (pandas is the largest). To get that out of the way, run the uvx command above once in a terminal and stop it with Ctrl+C once it is running. If Claude can't find uvx, replace "uvx" with its full path (which uvx shows it). Claude Desktop writes the server's logs to %APPDATA%\Claude\logs on Windows and ~/Library/Logs/Claude on macOS.

Local development

Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/DV155/Statistik-Austria-MCP-Server.git

cd Statistik-Austria-MCP-Server

2. Install the dependencies

   uv sync

Start the server in the MCP Inspector

   uv run mcp dev src/statserver/server.py

Usage

Ask Claude a question about Austrian statistics, and it uses the tools on its own.

Tool	What it does
`search_dataset`	Searches the catalog by keyword and returns matching dataset IDs and titles
`fetch_dataset_json`	Returns a dataset's dimensions and measures with their codes
`fetch_dataset_csv`	Returns the data with labels, total-row flags and paging; `filters` keeps only the rows for given dimension values

The server also provides an ogd://catalog resource with the catalog's categories.

Tip: the catalog's titles are German, so the server searches in German. Claude translates the question itself, but asking in German works just as well.

Limitations

Tested against all 543 datasets in the catalog in October 2026:

474 load fully
66 are published in formats the server can't read (zip archives and map services such as WFS and WMS); the server says so instead of failing
2 contain no data rows
1 (OGDEXT_BINNENWAND_1) loads without labels and slowly

Other limitations:

Only the free OGD portal is supported, not the paid STATcube API
The catalog is read from the portal's HTML page, so search stops working if Statistik Austria changes that page's structure
The first request for a very large dataset can take several seconds while it downloads
