Query Trade Databases via Claude Code

The `search_datastore` tool runs direct SQL-like queries against the Brazilian trade database from your command line. Claude Code executes these queries and pipes the raw statistical output directly to your terminal or local files. Here's the thing: you can pipe this live data straight into your bash scripts. You can filter, format, and redirect the output to other CLI utilities without opening a browser or an IDE.

Discover Datasets in This MCP Server

The `list_packages` tool outputs the complete list of available MDIC datasets directly into your terminal session. Claude Code scans this output to identify updated trade packages for your automated data pipelines. When target datasets change, `search_packages` lets you find files matching terms like "importação" or "exportação" from a single terminal prompt. This makes it easy to write cron jobs that check for new trade publications.

Extract Raw Data Paths on the Command Line

The `get_package` tool extracts the full metadata schema for any specific trade dataset. Your CLI agent uses this information to verify data structures before running automated ETL scripts. To get the actual file locations, `get_resource` returns the raw URLs for the underlying datasets. You can instantly pipe these URLs to curl or wget to download the raw trade data directly to your server.
