Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

FAQ

Questions BEA (Bureau of Economic Analysis) owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP cover all US economic data?

    No, it connects specifically to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). However, the BEA is a primary source for major metrics like GDP, personal income, and industry data.

  • 02

    Do I need to know the API structure to use this?

    No. You just ask your AI client in plain English. The MCP handles the complex API calls, parameter validation, and data formatting for you.

  • 03

    What kind of data can I retrieve?

    You can retrieve raw economic figures, growth rates, and historical statistics across various datasets, including NIPA and regional data.

  • 04

    Is the data real-time?

    The data is sourced directly from the BEA. While the MCP is constantly updated, the data itself reflects the official release schedules of the Bureau.

  • 05

    How can I see which economic datasets are available?

    You can use the get_dataset_list capability. It will return a comprehensive list of all datasets currently supported by the BEA API, such as NIPA, NIUnderlyingDetail, and FixedAssets.

  • 06

    How do I know what filters or parameters to use for a specific dataset?

    First, use get_parameter_list with the dataset name to see required fields. Then, use get_parameter_values to find valid inputs (like specific Year or TableID) for those parameters.

  • 07

    Can I fetch actual GDP or income figures directly?

    Yes. Use the get_data capability. You will need to provide the dataset name and a JSON string of parameters (e.g., TableName, Frequency, Year) to retrieve the specific economic observations.
