What is the South Korea KOSIS MCP Server?
The South Korea KOSIS MCP Server connects your AI agent to the Korean Statistical Information Service — the official data portal for the world's 12th-largest economy and a global powerhouse in semiconductors, automotive, and electronics.
Core Capabilities
- Table Search — Discover statistical tables across all Korean government agencies by keyword. Covers the full spectrum from demographics and national accounts to semiconductor production and trade flows.
- Data Retrieval — Pull raw numerical data from any KOSIS table, organized by classification and time period with full unit annotations.
- Period Filtering — Narrow results to specific time ranges using start/end period parameters.
Free API key required (instant registration at kosis.kr). South Korea publishes highly granular data covering semiconductor exports, technology adoption, and manufacturing output — intelligence that is critical for supply chain analysis and technology market research.
Built-in capabilities (2)
Requires orgId and tableId from search_korea_statistics. Optionally filter by time period (YYYYMM or YYYY format). Retrieve statistical data from a specific KOSIS table in South Korea
Returns table IDs, organization IDs, and table names. Use returned orgId and tableId with get_korea_stats_data to retrieve numbers. Common topics: population, GDP, semiconductor exports, technology, employment, trade, education, housing. Search for statistical tables in the South Korean KOSIS national database

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a KOSIS API key?
Register at kosis.kr, then apply for API access in the Open API section. Your API key is issued instantly upon application.
What makes Korean data unique?
South Korea is the world's leading producer of memory semiconductors and a major hub for display panels, batteries, and shipbuilding. KOSIS provides granular production, export, and trade data for these critical industries that is unavailable from any other source.
Does the API provide historically consistent data?
Yes, KOSIS standardizes time-series data ensuring that demographic, industrial, and national accounts figures remain historically consistent, often providing data points spanning several decades.
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.
