Map Brazilian Demographics via MCP Server

`list_agregados` allows VS Code Copilot to query the complete catalog of IBGE statistical tables directly from the chat panel. Instead of searching through external documentation, your team can find specific table IDs for inflation, employment, or agriculture within their editor. It keeps your development workflow unified. After locating the right table, the `get_agregado_metadados` tool retrieves the exact variables and structural levels. Copilot uses this schema to generate typed interfaces and data models that perfectly match the API's structure. This prevents typing errors before you write a single line of fetching logic.

Validate Survey Timeframes Automatically

`get_agregado_periodos` fetches the exact dates and cycles available for any statistical table in the SIDRA system. Since Brazilian census data and economic indicators run on unique schedules, this validation ensures your code never requests non-existent time blocks. Copilot checks these periods to write accurate time-series queries. This helps your team build resilient data pipelines that handle historical census trends or monthly inflation updates without failing. It eliminates the guesswork from temporal queries.

Query Live Economic Indicators

`get_agregado_data` retrieves the actual numerical values at specified geographic resolutions, from national down to municipal levels. Copilot uses this tool to inject real-world data directly into your workspace. Your team can instantly test parsing functions and database seeding scripts with live statistics. This direct MCP access means you do not have to download and parse manual CSV files. Copilot handles the raw JSON payload and writes the exact code needed to transform it. It makes building financial and demographic applications faster and more reliable.
