Install

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).

NPM package aussie-data-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add aussie-data-mcp -- npx -y aussie-data-mcp@0.2.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "aussie-data-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",

Aussie Data MCP

An MCP server that lets Claude (or any MCP client) query Australian economic and transport data directly: ABS, RBA, and Sydney Opal tap data from Commute Pulse.

Ask things like "how has Sydney rent moved against the cash rate since 2022?" and the model pulls the real series instead of guessing.

Tools

ToolWhat it answersSource
get_cpiInflation by item and capital city (headline, trimmed mean, rents, electricity...)ABS monthly CPI

get_cash_rateRBA cash rate target, monthlyRBA F1.1
get_lending_ratesHome loan, business and personal lending ratesRBA F5
get_exchange_ratesAUD against 18 currencies, plus the TWIRBA F11.1
rba_seriesAny other RBA table (list its series, then fetch)RBA statistical tables

abs_search_dataflowsFind any ABS dataset by keywordABS Data API
abs_describe_dataflowDimensions and codes for an ABS datasetABS Data API
abs_get_dataFetch any ABS dataset by SDMX keyABS Data API

Every tool returns compact JSON: named series with units, the latest value, the start value and the change over the window already worked out, plus notes on caveats. No API keys needed.

Use it with Claude Desktop

Add this to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aussie-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "aussie-data-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or from a local clone, point it at the build: "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/aussie-data-mcp/dist/index.js"].

Develop

npm install
npm run smoke     # hits every live source and prints a summary
npm run inspect   # opens the MCP Inspector against the server

Responses are cached for 6 hours (memory + temp dir). Override with AUSSIE_DATA_CACHE_TTL_HOURS and AUSSIE_DATA_CACHE_DIR.

Commute Pulse data is a bundled snapshot of that pipeline's outputs. After re-running it, refresh with npm run sync:commute.
