FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change the data in the IBGE database?

    No. The AI can only read frequency data; it cannot modify or delete any records.

    Can I get the names of every single person in Brazil?

    No. The tool only provides the frequency of names, not the full list of individual identities.

    Does this work with any AI client?

    Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    Can the AI create charts for me?

    No. The AI provides the data and describes the trends, but you'll need to use your own tools to render visual charts.

  • 05

    Can I search for names from other countries?

    No. This connector is limited to Brazilian name data from IBGE.
