…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect UK ONS Discovery — Search 337+ Statistical Datasets MCP to Mastra AI
Create your Vinkius account to connect UK ONS Discovery — Search 337+ Statistical Datasets to Mastra AI and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automate Multi-Step Data Retrieval
Building a complete data flow often fails due to missing parameters. With this MCP Server, your workflow can reliably chain calls: first `search_datasets`, then `get_dimensions` to validate filters, and finally `get_observations`. Mastra AI handles retries with exponential backoff if the initial query fails, ensuring your complex multi-step statistical analysis completes successfully.
Manage Dataset Metadata Changes
When a dataset updates its structure, you need to know. The `get_dataset_info` tool retrieves crucial metadata—like dimensions, editions, and versions—for any given ONS ID. This allows your workflow engine to check for changes before running a full data query, saving compute cycles and guaranteeing the latest information.
Browse and Select Datasets Automatically
Your agent doesn't need human input every time. It can list all available datasets using `list_datasets` or narrow them down with a keyword search via `search_datasets`. This lets you build autonomous background jobs that monitor the entire catalog of 337+ ONS statistical datasets.
