Perplexity

Fetch Core Inflation Metrics via MCP Server

The `get_ipca` and `get_ipca15` tools extract Brazil's official consumer price indices directly into your shell environment. You can run a single command to grab the latest IPCA figures and pipe the output into a daily Slack notification script. Headless execution makes this perfect for automated pipelines. Your CI/CD setup can call the advance IPCA-15 reading mid-month, trigger a database update, and log the economic shift without any human intervention.

Query Rent and Wage Indices

The `get_igpm` tool retrieves the standard benchmark for Brazilian rental agreements and wholesale pricing. Backend developers can script daily pulls of this index to automatically adjust pricing tiers in their billing databases. Salary adjustments rely on a different metric. The `get_inpc` tool grabs the inflation rate specific to lower-income households, allowing your automated reporting tools to calculate minimum wage impacts directly from the terminal.

Extract Focus Survey Expectations

The `get_expectativas_inflacao` tool pulls future market projections from the Central Bank's Focus Report. Your terminal agent fetches the median, mean, and standard deviation for upcoming inflation targets. Scripting predictive models requires raw statistical data. You instruct your agent to filter expectations by IPCA or IGP-M, and it returns structured JSON ready to be ingested by your backend analytics engine.

Common questions about BCB Inflação — IPCA, IGP-M, INPC e Expectativas MCP in Claude Code

Run the claude mcp add command with the HTTP transport flag and your Vinkius URL. Ensure all configuration flags appear before the server name, then verify the connection with claude mcp list.

Yes, the terminal-native design supports headless execution. You can schedule scripts that wake up, fetch the latest IGP-M or IPCA rates, and update your production databases automatically.

These tools pull the current series data from the Central Bank's SGS system. Your shell scripts can access the specific series codes, like 433 for IPCA, to track ongoing economic shifts.

The market expectations endpoint returns the median, mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviation. You can filter these results by specific indicators like IPCA or IGP-DI right from the command line.

Your terminal only receives public macroeconomic indicators from the Central Bank. Vinkius isolates the MCP connection in an ephemeral sandbox, guaranteeing your internal shell scripts and environment variables never leave your machine.
