Scb Se MCP server

@pipeworx/scb-se

Statistics Sweden (SCB) MCP — Swedish official statistics: figures from the PxWeb statistical database, plus what SCB has just published and what it is scheduled to publish next. Keyless.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1679+ live data sources.

Tools

Figures and table navigation (PxWeb API, api.scb.se)

Covers inflation (CPI annual change, percent) and cpi (index, 2020=100). Pinned to KPI2020M, because the similarly-named KPItotM froze at 2025M12 and would hand back a year-old figure.

• subjects(path?) — navigate the subject tree (root or sub-path)
• table_meta(path) — table definition (dimensions, valid values)
• query_table(path, body) — request data from a table; body is a PxWeb query ({query: [{code, selection: ...}], response: {format: "json-stat2"}})
• swedenlatestfigure(indicator, period?) — a Swedish headline statistic as a number in one call.

Releases (SCB website, www.scb.se)

(statistiknyheter) already published: headline, summary, date, statistical product, URL. Swedish by default; lang: "en" for English titles.

• scbsestatistical_news(days?, from?, to?, lang?, limit?) — statistical news releases

— the official publishing calendar: which statistical products are released on which date, with product code, reference period and publishing form. The only way to answer "what is SCB publishing next week".

• scbsepublishingcalendar(period?, from?, to?, form?, subjectareas?, sortfield?, sortorder?, limit?)

Auth

None. No API key on any endpoint. api.scb.se reports maxCallsPerTimeWindow: 30 per 10s window, CORS enabled, licence CC0. www.scb.se/robots.txt is User-agent: * / Disallow: — fully permissive.

Notes and traps

fragments; there is no documented contract, and the field shapes can change without notice. The tool descriptions say so rather than implying an API.

• The release tools scrape HTML, not an API. www.scb.se serves both listings as HTML

reached with a browser User-Agent.

• www.scb.se is a different host from api.scb.se and sits behind an F5 BIG-IP. It is

plausible 20-row table that silently ignores every parameter and serves the default "1 week ahead" — it passes a smoke test while answering the wrong question. The real contract is ?period=Custom&dateFrom=…&dateTo=…&form=3&subjectAreas=AM&sortOrder=1&sortField=2&paging=0, and dateFrom/dateTo are honoured only with period=Custom.

• The publishing calendar is a GET. Four different POST body shapes all return HTTP 200 with a

The total appears only as the high end of the last pagination range link.

• N hits in the calendar is the count on the current page (max 20), not the total.

the Swedish path stamps YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Parsing only one yields an empty window, not an error.

• The news datetime attribute differs by language path. /en/ stamps US M/D/YYYY h:mm:ss AM;

pages deep, so the walk is bounded by the requested date window and a page cap.

• News paging is 1-indexed (paging=0 → 404), 5 items per page, and the archive runs hundreds of

entries (~9 days) and ignores ?lang=en, so it is not used as the source.

• The Atom feed at https://www.scb.se/Feed/statistiknyheter/ is well-formed but returns exactly 10

"which tables got new data" and is a separate question from either tool here. It carries no nextUpdate field — forward-looking scheduling exists only in the calendar.
