Perplexity

Search catalog codes in Cursor

Trigger `search_datasets` via Agent mode to find relevant codes while you write your implementation. The AI scans the official catalog and brings the IDs straight to your editor. No more context switching to find the right dataset reference. You keep your focus on the code.

Map data structures in Cursor

Use `get_dataset_metadata` to verify the exact dimension keys before writing your query logic. This tool gives you the necessary schema details for any dataset. You avoid runtime errors by knowing the valid codes beforehand. It turns trial-and-error into a single, successful query.

Fetch live data as an MCP Server

Invoke `get_dataset` to pull actual JSON-stat data into your project context. Your agent uses this data to write code that works with real-world statistics. It eliminates the need for hardcoded stubs. You get accurate, current results every time you build.
