What is the Knoema MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to Knoema, the most comprehensive source of global decision-making data.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — Search through millions of datasets from official sources like IMF, World Bank, and UN
- Data Retrieval — Fetch precise time-series data using mnemonics for your analysis and forecasting
- Metadata Auditing — Get detailed information about data sources, units, and frequencies
- Granular Search — Find specific indicators (e.g., GDP, CPI, Crude Oil Price) across multiple providers
- Visualization Support — Access atlas and dashboard resources for visual data context
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Knoema Client ID and Secret (from the Developer Portal)
- Start querying global statistics directly from your chat client
Use Cases
- Economic Analysis — gather historical and current macro indicators for market research
- Business Planning — use demographic and sector data to inform strategy
- Scientific Research — find environmental and social datasets for academic or professional studies

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Knoema into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Knoema and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my Knoema API credentials?
Visit the Knoema Developer Portal (knoema.com/dev), create an application, and you will receive a Client ID and Client Secret.
How can I find a specific dataset ID?
Use the search_datasets tool with relevant keywords. The tool will return a list of matching datasets along with their unique IDs.
What is a mnemonic in Knoema?
A mnemonic is a short, human-readable code used to identify a specific data series within a dataset (e.g., 'NGDP' for Nominal GDP).
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
