What is the OECD Data API MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire macroeconomic research and policy auditing workflow with the OECD Data API, the authoritative source for global social and economic indicators. By connecting the OECD SDMX-JSON service to your agent, you transform complex statistical searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly retrieve historical datasets, audit regional economic trends, and query specific dataflows without you ever touching a data portal. Whether you are conducting international market research or managing regional policy constraints, your agent acts as a real-time data analyst, ensuring your intelligence is always verified and precise.
What you can do
- Dataset Auditing — Retrieve high-resolution statistical data for thousands of OECD identifiers and maintain a clear view of global economic changes.
- Indicator Oversight — Audit historical social and fiscal indicators to understand the longitudinal distribution of economic scale instantly.
- Dataflow Discovery — Browse all available dataflows in the OECD catalog to identify relevant thematic markers for your research.
- Macro Intelligence — Retrieve unique dataset identifiers and observation metadata to assist in deep-dive archival classification.
- Operational Monitoring — Check API status to ensure your economic research workflow is always operational.
How it works

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns OECD Data API into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from OECD Data API and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 3 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
Is an API Key required for OECD Data API?
No. The OECD REST API is a free and open service. This server works out of the box without any static credentials required.
What format is the data returned in?
The API returns data in the SDMX-JSON format, which includes detailed observations and metadata for economic series.
Can the agent list multiple datasets?
Yes. The list_oecd_dataflows tool retrieves the complete list of available dataflows and datasets from the OECD catalog.
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.
