## What it does

This server connects AI assistants to the Kolada public API. It exposes statistical records for 290 municipalities and 21 regions. The catalog covers 264 functional sectors. Key domains include demographics and healthcare. Gender filtering separates totals, men, or women.

Built-in functions handle metric lookups and comparisons. The tool compares between 2 and 10 municipalities simultaneously. Metadata catalogs stay in a 24-hour local cache. This limits redundant requests. Keep in mind that `get_kpis` caps bulk retrieval at 25 items.
