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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Bureau of Labor Statistics, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Bureau of Labor Statistics. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

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

This MCP is designed for professionals who need to feed high-fidelity economic data into their AI workflows for modeling and research.

  • 01

    Hedge Fund Analysts

    They hand off economic modeling tasks to the AI to build full economic pictures.

  • 02

    Research Institutions

    They use the agent to process large arrays of macroeconomic data.

  • 03

    Enterprise AI Systems

    They use the capability for automated macro analysis within large-scale workflows.

FAQ

Questions Bureau of Labor Statistics owners ask.

  • 01

    What datasets are included in this MCP?

    It includes CPI, PPI, nonfarm payrolls, unemployment rates, JOLTS turnover data, LAUS local metrics, and OEWS occupational wages.

  • 02

    Do I need my own BLS API key?

    Yes, you will need to sign up for a free BLS Developer API Key to configure the connection.

  • 03

    Can I query specific job wages?

    Yes, the OEWS dataset allows your agent to find specific wages for a job title at a physical location.

  • 04

    How much historical data can the agent access?

    The MCP provides access to deep datasets spanning 20 years.

  • 05

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 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.
