Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http monitly 'https://monit.ly/api/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Bearer mcpk_… key (needed for tools/call; initialize and tools/list work without it). Create at https://monit.ly/app/settings?tab=integrations&sub=mcp>'{

📊 Monitly MCP Server – Official Statistics for AI Agents
Monitly MCP is a remote Model Context Protocol server that gives Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and any MCP-compatible agent direct access to official statistics and economic indicators – Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, IMF, WHO and national statistical offices – for 150+ countries.
Ask in plain language: the agent finds the right dataset, checks the country coverage and pulls the time series.
Quick start
- Create a free account at monit.ly and generate an MCP key in Settings → Integrations → MCP (direct link). MCP keys start with
mcpk_. - Add the server to your client.
Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Claude Desktop (mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"monitly": {
"url": "https://monit.ly/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
}
}
}
}Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http monitly https://monit.ly/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"Clients that only support stdio (via mcp-remote):
{
"mcpServers": {
"monitly": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://monit.ly/api/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer mcpk_YOUR_KEY_HERE"]
}
}
}| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Endpoint | POST https://monit.ly/api/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0) |
| Authentication | Authorization: Bearer mcpk_… or X-API-Key: mcpk_… |
| MCP version | 2024-11-05 |

Tools
Data tools (count toward the monthly mcp_queries quota)
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_catalog | Find statistical datasets (Eurostat, World Bank, OECD, IMF…) with hybrid search (name/code + embeddings). Optional country and source_name filters. Returns compact dataset cards. |
search_datasets | Alias of search_catalog. |
inspect_dataset | Peek one dataset: default slice, whether a country is covered, dataId and the latest values. |
get_dataset | Full metadata for one dataset: description, source and metadata URLs, dimensions, period range, geographies. |
execute_sql | Read-only SELECT against the main and data tables to pull a full time series. |
export_dataset | CSV download URL for a dataset, optionally filtered by countries and dimension values. |
Account tools (free)
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
list_plans, get_plan, get_usage | Plans, current plan and limits, usage this billing period. |
upgrade_plan | Returns a Stripe Checkout URL for the Pro plan. |
list_watchlist, add_to_watchlist, add_watchlist_batch, remove_from_watchlist | Follow datasets and get alerts when they update. |
set_notification_preferences | E-mail / Slack alert settings. |
list_api_keys, create_api_key, delete_api_key | REST API keys (mon_…). |
list_mcp_keys, create_mcp_key, delete_mcp_key | MCP keys (mcpk_…). |
initialize, tools/list and ping are never metered and work without a key, so clients can list tools before you add one.
