What is the IBGE Nomes MCP Server?
Connect to the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) database through any AI agent to explore the rich demographic history of Brazilian names. This server provides direct access to the 'Nomes no Brasil' census data.
What you can do
- Name Frequency — Query the number of births per decade for specific names (e.g., 'MARIA' or 'ENZO') to see how trends evolved over time.
- Rankings & Popularity — Generate rankings of the most frequent names in Brazil, with optional filters for gender and specific decades.
- Geographic Insights — Filter results by locality ID to understand regional naming preferences across different Brazilian states and municipalities.
- Comparative Analysis — Use the pipe separator to compare multiple names simultaneously and identify cultural shifts.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- No API key is required as it uses the public IBGE Open Data API
- Start querying Brazilian name statistics from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Data Analysts & Sociologists — study naming trends and demographic shifts in the Brazilian population.
- Content Creators & Writers — find historically accurate names for characters based on specific decades in Brazil.
- Developers — integrate official Brazilian demographic data into applications without complex setup.

Frequently asked questions
Can I compare the popularity of two different names in the same query?
Yes! Use the get_name_frequency tool and separate the names with a pipe symbol (e.g., 'MARIA|ANA'). The agent will return the frequency data for both names across the decades.
How do I find the most popular names from the 1990s?
You can use the get_names_ranking tool and provide '1990' in the decada parameter. This will return a list of the most frequent names recorded during that specific period.
Is it possible to filter name statistics by a specific Brazilian state?
Absolutely. Both get_name_frequency and get_names_ranking accept a localidade parameter. You just need to provide the IBGE ID for the target state or municipality.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
