INE-MCP. MCP Integration with INE API

INE is Spain's National Statistics Institute.

INE-mcp allows access to official Spanish statistical data directly from Claude AI and other compatible MCP clients using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

INE-mcp is an MCP server that exposes tools for LLMs to query economic, demographic and social indicators from INE.

Key Features

• Economic indicators query (GDP, CPI, unemployment, etc.)
• Access to demographic data (census, migrations, birth rates)
• Historical time series of statistical data
• Metadata of official statistical operations
• Filtering by territory, period and specific variables
• Structured responses in JSON format

Installation

Install from uv

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• uv package manager

uv Installation

First install uv, a Python package manager.
Install from terminal:

For Mac and Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

For Windows:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Alternatively install with pip:

pip install uv

For more details about uv installation, see official documentation.

Integration with Desktop Clients like Claude

Once uv is installed, you can use the MCP server from any compatible client like Claude Desktop by following these steps:

1. Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config > claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this code block under "mcpServers":

"ine_mcp": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
        "ine_mcp"
    ]
}   

3. Consult INE's official documentation: https://www.ine.es/dyngs/DAB/index.htm?cid=1099
4. If you have other MCP servers configured, separate them with commas ,.

For integration with other MCP-compatible clients like Cursor, CODEGPT or Roo Code, simply add the same code block to the client's MCP server configuration.

Usage Examples

Once properly configured, you can ask things like:

- "What data from Spain's INE can you access?"
- "Find data from the Active Population Survey (EPA)"
- "Show me price indices for steel products during Q1 2023"
