About BLS Prices — Consumer Price Index (CPI) & Inflation MCP Server
Connect to the exact datasets used by the Federal Reserve and economists to measure US inflation. The Bureau of Labor Statistics Prices MCP gives your agent direct access to consumer and producer price fluctuations.
Pydantic AI validates every BLS Prices — Consumer Price Index (CPI) & Inflation tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 2 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
What you can do
- Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) — Fetch changes in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.
- Producer Price Index (PPI) — Track the average change over time in the selling prices received by domestic producers for their output.
- Historical Metrics — Query up to 20 years of consecutive inflation data instantly.
