# eurostat-mcp-server Connects coding agents to Eurostat indicators covering EU economics and trade. Helpful when querying regional NUTS slices or staging datasets for SQL analysis. - MCP server · `type=mcp` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, Gemini CLI · ★ 7 - Author: cyanheads - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=link-only · description only; the file stays with the author - Source: https://github.com/cyanheads/eurostat-mcp-server - Updated: 2026-10-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/eurostat-mcp-server ## What it does The server connects to the Eurostat catalogue through a hosted HTTP endpoint or locally via STDIO using `npx`. Assistants receive tools to search dataset identifiers, inspect theme categories, read dimension metadata, and filter NUTS geographical boundaries from whole countries down to local zones. For deep analysis, entire tables can be staged onto a dataframe canvas through the SDMX bulk endpoint. Once loaded, assistants run read-only SQL queries with `eurostat_dataframe_query` and inspect schemas using `eurostat_dataframe_describe`. Running `eurostat_dataframe_drop` fails unless `EUROSTAT_DATAFRAME_DROP_ENABLED=true` is supplied beforehand. Setting `CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE=none` completely disables the canvas tools, restricting the model to bounded preview slices. ## Requirements - Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx) - Remote server: `https://eurostat.caseyjhand.com/mcp` - Environment variables: `EUROSTAT_CLAMP_LIMITS`, `MCP_LOG_LEVEL`, `EUROSTAT_BASE_URL`, `EUROSTAT_COMEXT_BASE_URL`, `EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`, `EUROSTAT_METADATA_TIMEOUT_MS`, `EUROSTAT_TOC_CACHE_TTL_MS`, `EUROSTAT_BULK_TIMEOUT_MS`, `EUROSTAT_BULK_MAX_BYTES`, `CANVAS_PROVIDER_TYPE` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Platform CLI: remote server** ```bash claude mcp add --transport http eurostat-mcp-server https://eurostat.caseyjhand.com/mcp ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash claude mcp add --env EUROSTAT_CLAMP_LIMITS= --env MCP_LOG_LEVEL= --env EUROSTAT_BASE_URL= --env EUROSTAT_COMEXT_BASE_URL= --env EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS= --transport stdio eurostat-mcp-server -- npx -y @cyanheads/eurostat-mcp-server ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 15 more environment variables are in the server README ### Codex 1. **Platform CLI: remote server** ```bash codex mcp add eurostat-mcp-server --url https://eurostat.caseyjhand.com/mcp ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash codex mcp add eurostat-mcp-server --env EUROSTAT_CLAMP_LIMITS= --env MCP_LOG_LEVEL= --env EUROSTAT_BASE_URL= --env EUROSTAT_COMEXT_BASE_URL= --env EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS= -- npx -y @cyanheads/eurostat-mcp-server ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 15 more environment variables are in the server README ### Cursor **Config file** File `.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "eurostat-mcp-server": { "url": "https://eurostat.caseyjhand.com/mcp" } } } ``` File `.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "eurostat-mcp-server": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@cyanheads/eurostat-mcp-server" ], "env": { "EUROSTAT_CLAMP_LIMITS": "", "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "", "EUROSTAT_BASE_URL": "", "EUROSTAT_COMEXT_BASE_URL": "", "EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 15 more environment variables are in the server README ### GitHub Copilot **Config file** File `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "eurostat-mcp-server": { "type": "http", "url": "https://eurostat.caseyjhand.com/mcp" } } } ``` File `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "eurostat-mcp-server": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@cyanheads/eurostat-mcp-server" ], "env": { "EUROSTAT_CLAMP_LIMITS": "", "MCP_LOG_LEVEL": "", "EUROSTAT_BASE_URL": "", "EUROSTAT_COMEXT_BASE_URL": "", "EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS": "" } } } } ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 15 more environment variables are in the server README ### Gemini CLI 1. **Platform CLI: remote server** ```bash gemini mcp add -t http eurostat-mcp-server https://eurostat.caseyjhand.com/mcp ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini mcp add -e EUROSTAT_CLAMP_LIMITS= -e MCP_LOG_LEVEL= -e EUROSTAT_BASE_URL= -e EUROSTAT_COMEXT_BASE_URL= -e EUROSTAT_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS= eurostat-mcp-server npx -y @cyanheads/eurostat-mcp-server ``` Replace <…> with your own values. 15 more environment variables are in the server README ## When to use it - look up Eurostat series by keywords and theme folders - filter demographic or economic indicators across NUTS boundaries - pull industrial PRODCOM or detailed Comext trade tables - run SQL queries on staged SDMX statistical datasets ## Example prompts - Search Eurostat for datasets covering youth unemployment across EU regions. - Retrieve valid dimension values for NUTS 2 regions in dataset demo_r_d2jan. - Download the trade dataset and run a SQL query across the staged table. ## Similar - [World Monitor](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/world-monitor.md) — MCP server · ★ 89609 - [Scrapling MCP Server](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/scrapling-mcp-server.md) — MCP server · ★ 89899 - [MCP Toolbox for Databases](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/googleapis-mcp-toolbox-for-databases.md) — MCP server · ★ 16730 - [PostHog MCP Server](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/posthog-mcp-server.md) — MCP server · ★ 40459 - [dbx](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/dbx.md) — MCP server · ★ 27844 - [Metabase](https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/mcp/metabase.md) — MCP server · ★ 49863 --- NeVibeCode on affpapa.org.
