Fragile States Index MCP server

@pipeworx/fragile-states-index

Annual country fragility score and rank — country-risk context to pair with event/news data, so a spike of unrest or instability news for a country can be read against its standing fragility level.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1831+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Licence

The Fund for Peace licenses the Index under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License and asks anyone wanting to republish it for commercial purposes to contact them directly. Bruce ruled 2026-10-17 to ship this pack anyway — zero-rated (0 credits on every tier, never counted toward volume pricing) and carrying the publisher's attribution in every response's source field — the same shape as the symmap (#1385) and openvc-share-too case rulings. See CLAUDE.md's licence section for the ruling text.

Data freshness

Published only as an annual bulk file (no live query API), so this pack reads from a periodically-refreshed copy rather than a per-request live call. Every response carries dataasof (when this pack's copy was last refreshed) and year (the edition's own data year) — check both before citing a figure as current; the publisher's annual cycle means a given edition can be the "latest" for most of a year.

Common pitfalls

Republic", "Congo Republic", "Cote d'Ivoire", "United States") — a handful of common aliases (USA, UK, DRC, Ivory Coast...) are accepted, but a bare "Congo" is deliberately NOT resolved to either Congo, since guessing between the two would be a wrong answer rather than a convenience; pass the full name the tool's error message lists.

• Country names are the publisher's own spelling (e.g. "Congo Democratic

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

  "mcpServers": {

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/fragile-states-index/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — askpipeworx, discovertools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
