Statistics Canada MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.Aryan-Jhaveri/mcp-statcan -->

MCP server and CLI for Statistics Canada's Web Data Service (WDS) and SDMX REST API. Gives any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Gemini — structured access to Canadian statistical data. Includes a standalone statcan CLI for direct downloads without an LLM.

Hosted on Render — no install required for most users. See Quick Start.

⚠️ LLMs may fabricate data. Always verify important figures against official Statistics Canada sources.

Quick Start

Pick the option that fits you. You don't need to install anything for Option 1.

Option 1 — Use the hosted server (recommended)

Connect directly to the public server on Render. No uv, no terminal, no local setup.

Claude Desktop / Claude.ai

  1. Open Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Connector
  2. Name: mcp-statcan
  3. URL: https://mcp-statcan.onrender.com/mcp
  4. Save and restart

Claude Code

claude mcp add statcan --transport http https://mcp-statcan.onrender.com/mcp --scope global

The hosted server provides all WDS + SDMX tools. Database tools (SQLite) require local setup (Option 3) — they are intentionally excluded from the shared server.

Option 2 — Self-host HTTP (WDS + SDMX, no DB)

Run a local server with the same tools as the hosted version.

Step 1 — Install uv:

# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Windows (PowerShell)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Step 2 — Start the server:

uvx statcan-mcp-server --transport http
# Listening at http://localhost:8000

Step 3 — Connect your client to http://localhost:8000/mcp.

Option 3 — Full local setup (WDS + SDMX + SQLite)

Everything from Option 2, plus database tools for storing and querying data with SQL. Runs via stdio.

Step 1 — Install uv (same as above).

Step 2 — Configure your client with the stdio snippets in Setup by Client below.

uvx downloads and runs the server automatically on first use.

Option 4 — statcan CLI (no LLM needed)

Download StatCan data directly from the terminal. See statcan CLI.
