UNICEF Stats MCP
Wraps UNICEF's SDMX API to expose 790+ child development indicators across 200+ countries with disaggregations by sex, age, wealth quintile, and residence. Nine tools cover search, metadata retrieval, data fetching (compact or full JSON), and code lookup for dimensions like indicator ID or country ISO3. Built on top of the unicefdata Python package, so it inherits caching and response handling but trades scriptability for conversational access through Claude or other MCP clients. No API key required. Useful when you need quick lookups on child mortality, nutrition, education, or WASH stats without writing a full ETL script. Returns pagination metadata and truncation warnings when result sets exceed 500 rows.
