Authentication
Requires a free API key from the Census Bureau.Frequently asked questions about the U.S. Census Full — Complete Demographic & Economic Intelligence MCP Server
Why does it require an API key?
While the SEC and Treasury APIs do not require keys, the Census Bureau requires a free API key to handle the massive volume of hyper-local data (thousands of variables across millions of geographies). The key prevents rate limiting and ensures stable connections.
What geographies can I query?
This MCP limits the main built-in endpoints to State, County and Place (cities). Detailed geometries like zip-codes, tracts, or congressional districts can be queried utilizing the query_census custom tool.
Is Puerto Rico included?
Yes! Puerto Rico is treated internally as state FIPS code 72.
