Deep Dive Economic Data Modeling

Need the full picture? You can query complex datasets like GDP, trade, and consumer spending. Use `get_gdp` for quarterly or annual regional breakdowns, or run `get_trade` to map imports versus exports by country. It's a massive resource. The server lets you pull data points from 337+ ONS datasets—everything from retail sales indices (`get_retail_sales`) to card spending patterns (`get_spending_cards`).

Demographic and Health Analysis

Analyzing population shifts or health outcomes? You’ve got tools for that. Check out `get_population_projections` for older people's sex ratios, or use `get_weekly_deaths` to track mortality rates by age group. It also handles well-being metrics via `get_wellbeing`, giving you estimates on life satisfaction and anxiety across UK local authorities.

Universal Data Discovery

Don't know which dataset holds the answer? Start with `search_datasets` to find IDs, then run `get_dimensions` against any dataset ID. This process reveals all available filters—geography codes, time periods, and aggregates. This isn't just a handful of tools; it’s an entire ONS ecosystem wrapped up in the MCP Server.
