Australian Economic Data (ABS, RBA & APRA)

anthonypuggs/ausecon-mcp-server

Connects Claude directly to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Reserve Bank of Australia, and APRA data feeds. You get ten tools for querying CPI, GDP, cash rate targets, labour force stats, and 70 other curated economic series, plus nine derived indicators like real cash rate calculations. The semantic layer means you can ask for concepts like "cash_rate_target" instead of hunting through dataset codes, though raw ABS and RBA table access is available when you need exact source control. Built on stdio with HTTP transport support, ships via PyPI, and includes prompt templates for common analyst workflows. Useful when you're building economic analysis tools or need Australian macro data without writing yet another scraper.
