Perplexity

Get total population metrics.

The `get_total_population` tool fetches the latest global or country-specific count. When you're writing a script, let the AI call this function to get real numbers. This means your generated code uses live data points, eliminating stale stubs and making your applications immediately useful.

Calculate key socioeconomic ratios.

You'll use `get_poverty` to pull the current poverty headcount ratio for $1.50 a day. The AI can write code that takes this metric and runs calculations against it. It also exposes `get_gini_index`, letting your agent mode generate logic that analyzes wealth distribution alongside population counts.

Fetch specific indicators by code.

When you need a niche metric, the `get_social_indicator` tool is key. You pass it the World Bank Population code and get the exact value needed for your project. The AI can then integrate this data point directly into the function signature of the code block you're writing.

Setup guide

Set up World Bank Population MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
