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.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
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.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Interest Rate Forecasting

An agent uses nonfarm payroll data to help predict Federal Reserve movements.

02

Labor Market Tightness Study

A researcher compares JOLTS job openings against unemployment rates to measure market demand.

03

Regional Cost of Living Analysis

An analyst uses CPI and local wage data to compare economic conditions between two different states.

04

Compensation Benchmarking

A business professional queries OEWS data to find specific median wages for certain job titles.

Who it's for

Built for the work Bureau of Labor Statistics owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to feed high-fidelity economic data into their AI workflows for analysis or modeling.

  • 01

    Hedge Fund Analysts

    They hand off macroeconomic modeling tasks to their agent using real-time BLS data.

  • 02

    Economic Researchers

    They use the agent to process large arrays of labor and price datasets.

  • 03

    Enterprise AI Developers

    They integrate these capabilities into automated systems for macro analysis.

FAQ

Questions Bureau of Labor Statistics owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need my own BLS API key?

    Yes, you will need to sign up for a free BLS Developer API Key to use this MCP.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I get data for specific cities or counties?

    Yes, the MCP includes access to LAUS data which provides unemployment metrics at the state and county level.

  • 04

    What kind of wage data is available?

    You can access hyper-specific wages per physical location per job title through the occupational wage datasets.

  • 05

    Is the data real-time?

    The MCP pulls directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, providing the most current official datasets available through their API.

  • 06

    Why merge them all into a Mega-Server?

    Economics isn't isolated. An AI needs to simultaneously access Wage data (OEWS), Jobs data (CES), and Inflation data (CPI) to provide real context. The Mega-Server allows a single agent to paint the entire U.S. macroeconomic picture without missing puzzle pieces.

  • 07

    Does this require multiple API keys?

    No, a single free Developer Registration Key from the Bureau of Labor Statistics works across all of these datasets interchangeably. You paste it once, and your AI accesses the whole suite.

  • 08

    What is LAUS and OEWS?

    LAUS is Local Area Unemployment. letting your AI zoom down to county-level employment metrics. OEWS is Occupational Wages. letting your AI see exactly what a specific job title (e.g., Dental Hygienist) makes in a specific state.

  • 09

    Is the BLS Mega-Server safe to auto-run?

    Yes. The BLS API v2 processes payloads of up to 50 complex series across 20-year lookbacks in single POST requests. It is designed precisely for heavy, automated, multi-dataset lifting without timing out your agent.
