Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Macro and economic data from the primary statistical agencies (BLS, BEA, Treasury, Fed, ECB, Eurostat, ONS, Bank of England, ABS, RBA) via MacroDataAPI (https://macrodataapi.com): CPI, payrolls, unemployment, GDP, PCE, policy rates, yield curves, the release calendar, and point-in-time history with vintages. FIRST CALLS: 1. macro_search_series (what exists). 2. macro_calendar (what lands this week). 3. macro_latest for a series id such as us.cpi.all.sa. NO KEY? list_capabilities and create_free_api_key need no credentials. Every other tool reads the X-API-Key transport header fixed when the server was added. Free: latest values, calendar, policy rates, yields. Pro: history with as_of and vintages. Agents with a USDC wallet can pay per request over plain REST (x402) or buy a 1h/1d/7d pass: https://macrodataapi.com/api/v1/pricing. No subscriptions. For steady use the same data is on RealtimeAPI.ai (feed macrodata) with 1,000 free calls a month: https://macrodataapi.com/realtimeapi Values are decimal strings. Every result carries source (publisher, licence, URL) and as_of.

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http macrodataapi-mcp https://macrodataapi.com/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add macrodataapi-mcp --url https://macrodataapi.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable macrodataapi-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
