Federal Reserve Mcp Server

cyanheads/federal-reserve-mcp-server

Plugs Claude directly into the Federal Reserve's FRED API to search, fetch, and analyze 800,000 economic time series. Five FRED tools let you search series by keyword, pull metadata, retrieve observations with date filtering and unit transformations, browse the category tree, and inspect data releases. Three DataCanvas tools handle spillover when you fetch multi-series or large datasets, letting you run SQL queries against the results. Built for economic analysis workflows where you need programmatic access to GDP figures, unemployment rates, inflation metrics, or any other Fed dataset without leaving your conversation. Supports parallel multi-series requests and gracefully handles FRED's rate limits with retry backoff.
