Starwell: World Data & Statistics tools (11, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsanswerFreeThe flagship: ask a natural-language question about the served official statistics. Returns a COMPUTED answer (real Python runs in a sandbox over the verified store, nothing is estimated by a model), the Plotly chart, the Python code, citations to the official tables, and a verification badge per series. CROSS-SOURCE: one question may join series from DIFFERENT agencies, e.g. unemployment from the US BLS, Statistics Canada and the UK ONS in a single call, for correlations, ratios, and like-for-like comparison. How many series one question may join is set by the caller's plan; asking for more returns a series_limit error naming that cap. Returns a refusal when no served series can answer. Takes 10-40 seconds. Requires a free API key (create at /account on the Starwell host; pass Authorization: Bearer dlk_... or set STARWELL_API_KEY on the starwell-mcp bridge). Keyless calls return key_required.
create_monitorwrite actionFreeCreate a monitor: when the store's refresh lands a new period or a revised value for the series, a series.updated webhook fires to your URL with the new value, verification status, and citation. Requires an API key (free with an account at /account); webhook must be https. Manage with list_monitors / delete_monitor.
deep_analysisFreeThe moat: a PLANNED multi-section report on a question. The engine designs 3-4 orthogonal analyses (trend, statistics, outliers, cross-series relationships), runs real Python for each in the sandbox over the verified store, and synthesizes one decision-ready report. Every number computed, every series cited and verification-badged. Sections can join series from DIFFERENT agencies in one report, up to the caller's plan width; over it, the call returns a series_limit error naming that cap. Slower than answer (60-180 seconds), so use it for "analyze", "break down", "give me a full picture" asks; use the answer tool for a single direct question. Requires a free API key (create at /account on the Starwell host; pass Authorization: Bearer dlk_... or set STARWELL_API_KEY on the starwell-mcp bridge). Keyless calls return key_required.
delete_monitorwrite actionFreeget_observationsFreeObservation values for one series. Every value carries provenance (the exact source URL it came from, retrieval time, connector version) and the envelope carries the series verification status + citation. Defaults to the latest 60 points; use start/end (YYYY-MM-DD) or latest to control the window.
get_seriesFreeFull metadata for one series: indicator, unit, frequency, geography, coverage, its VERIFICATION STATUS (passing/stale/failing/unverified from golden-value + freshness checks against the live source), recent check records, and the citation to the official table.
get_series_statsFreeLatest value, previous, all-time min/max, mean, and change vs the previous period and vs a year ago — computed over the verified store, with the citation attached. The cheap way to answer "what is it now and how has it moved" without a full analysis run.
list_datasetsFreeList the datasets (official releases/tables) available in one source, with coverage dates and links to the official table pages.
list_monitorsFreeMonitors on your API key, with delivery health (last fired, failures, active).
list_sourcesFreeList the official statistical sources served by this data layer (e.g. Statistics Canada, FRED), with dataset/series counts, cadence notes, and terms links. Start here to see what exists.
search_catalogFreeFind series across ALL sources in one call: case-insensitive search over series ids, indicator names, geographies, and dataset titles (e.g. "unemployment canada", "10-year treasury", "CPI"). Returns candidate series with units, coverage, verification status, and license, plus datasetMatches from the wider dataset index — datasets whose series can be requested by source-native id and are fetched from the official source on first call. The fastest path from a question to the exact series id to fetch or pin in the answer tool.

What the publisher says
From the Starwell: World Data & Statistics repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
starwell-mcp
Starwell is the verified data layer for AI: official statistics from Statistics Canada, FRED, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the World Bank, SEC EDGAR, the U.S. Treasury, the European Central Bank, the UK Office for National Statistics, INSEE (France), the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the OECD, Eurostat, INE (Spain), the Czech National Bank, ILOSTAT, Statistics Netherlands, the CDC, Statistics Sweden, Statistics Norway, Statistics Finland, Statistics Austria, the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Central Statistics Office of Ireland, Statistics Denmark, Statistics Poland, Statistics Estonia, Statistics Iceland, and the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, served as MCP tools. Every observation carries provenance, every series carries a verification status backed by golden-value checks against the live source, and the answer tool returns computed results cited to the official table.
This package is a thin stdio bridge to the Starwell remote MCP server. The tool surface always matches the server, so new sources and tools appear without a package update.
Tools (12): searchcatalog, listsources, listdatasets, getseries, getseriesstats, getobservations, factorystatus, answer, deepanalysis, createmonitor, listmonitors, deletemonitor. Reads are open; answer, deepanalysis, and the monitor tools need a free API key (STARWELLAPI_KEY).
Install per client
Remote-capable clients can skip this package and add the URL directly: https://starwell.dev/api/starwell/mcp (Streamable HTTP).

Configuration
- STARWELLMCPURL: override the endpoint (staging, self-hosted).
- STARWELLAPIKEY: Bearer key from https://starwell.dev/account (free). Data reads work without one; answer, deep_analysis, and monitors require it.
Data licensing
Only openly licensed official sources are served, each with its license and attribution in every response. The set covers U.S. federal statistical works (public domain), the Statistics Canada Open Licence, World Bank CC BY-4.0, and the respective open licences of the ECB, OECD, ONS, INSEE, and ABS. This product uses the FRED API but is not endorsed or certified by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
