    How to connect

    How to connect Starwell: World Data & Statistics to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://starwell.dev/api/starwell/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Starwell: World Data & Statistics to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://starwell.dev/api/starwell/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    How to connect Starwell: World Data & Statistics to Cursor

    The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

    https://starwell.dev/api/starwell/mcp

    Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

    Manually:

    1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
    2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
    3. Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

    Authorization

    If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.

    Server tool list (11)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    list_sourcesList the official statistical sources served by this data layer (e.g. Statistics Canada, FRED), with dataset/series counts, cadence notes, and terms links. Start here to see what exists.
    search_catalogFind series across ALL sources in one call: case-insensitive search over series ids, indicator names, geographies, and dataset titles (e.g. "unemployment canada", "10-year treasury", "CPI"). Returns candidate series with units, coverage, verification status, and license, plus datasetMatches from the wider dataset index — datasets whose series can be requested by source-native id and are fetched from the official source on first call. The fastest path from a question to the exact series id to fetch or pin in the answer tool.
    list_datasetsList the datasets (official releases/tables) available in one source, with coverage dates and links to the official table pages.
    get_seriesFull metadata for one series: indicator, unit, frequency, geography, coverage, its VERIFICATION STATUS (passing/stale/failing/unverified from golden-value + freshness checks against the live source), recent check records, and the citation to the official table.
    get_observationsObservation values for one series. Every value carries provenance (the exact source URL it came from, retrieval time, connector version) and the envelope carries the series verification status + citation. Defaults to the latest 60 points; use start/end (YYYY-MM-DD) or latest to control the window.
    get_series_statsLatest value, previous, all-time min/max, mean, and change vs the previous period and vs a year ago — computed over the verified store, with the citation attached. The cheap way to answer "what is it now and how has it moved" without a full analysis run.
    create_monitorCreate a monitor: when the store's refresh lands a new period or a revised value for the series, a series.updated webhook fires to your URL with the new value, verification status, and citation. Requires an API key (free with an account at /account); webhook must be https. Manage with list_monitors / delete_monitor.
    list_monitorsMonitors on your API key, with delivery health (last fired, failures, active).
    delete_monitor
    answerThe flagship: ask a natural-language question about the served official statistics. Returns a COMPUTED answer (real Python runs in a sandbox over the verified store, nothing is estimated by a model), the Plotly chart, the Python code, citations to the official tables, and a verification badge per series. CROSS-SOURCE: one question may join series from DIFFERENT agencies, e.g. unemployment from the US BLS, Statistics Canada and the UK ONS in a single call, for correlations, ratios, and like-for-like comparison. How many series one question may join is set by the caller's plan; asking for more returns a series_limit error naming that cap. Returns a refusal when no served series can answer. Takes 10-40 seconds. Requires a free API key (create at /account on the Starwell host; pass Authorization: Bearer dlk_... or set STARWELL_API_KEY on the starwell-mcp bridge). Keyless calls return key_required.
    deep_analysisThe moat: a PLANNED multi-section report on a question. The engine designs 3-4 orthogonal analyses (trend, statistics, outliers, cross-series relationships), runs real Python for each in the sandbox over the verified store, and synthesizes one decision-ready report. Every number computed, every series cited and verification-badged. Sections can join series from DIFFERENT agencies in one report, up to the caller's plan width; over it, the call returns a series_limit error naming that cap. Slower than answer (60-180 seconds), so use it for "analyze", "break down", "give me a full picture" asks; use the answer tool for a single direct question. Requires a free API key (create at /account on the Starwell host; pass Authorization: Bearer dlk_... or set STARWELL_API_KEY on the starwell-mcp bridge). Keyless calls return key_required.
