How to Use the World Bank Economy MCP in Cursor
Inject real World Bank economic data into your code with Cursor's Agent mode.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect World Bank Economy MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect World Bank Economy to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Write Code Using Live GDP Data
The `get_gdp` tool lets the AI call for live Gross Domestic Product (GDP) values. The resulting US$ figure is injected directly into your code block, making it usable right away. You can write a function that calculates market cap based on real-time economic context without having to mock the data.
Calculate Risk Metrics with World Bank Economy Data
Need to calculate risk? Use `get_gdp_growth` for annual percentage changes and pair it with `get_inflation` rates. The AI generates a comparison variable you can use in your financial modeling. It's ideal for building complex simulations that require accurate, external economic parameters.
Access Any Indicator via the MCP Server
The `get_economy_indicator` tool ensures you don't hit a dead end. If your code needs a specific metric—say, trade balance or commodity prices—the AI can fetch it. This means your agent mode has access to diverse World Bank Economy data points and keeps your coding flow uninterrupted.
