Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 1 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

Calculating wages manually is a nightmare of tabs and Excel sheets.

Right now, you spend hours copying job titles into one spreadsheet, cross-referencing them with state tax websites, then manually looking up the average pay for every single combination. You end up with dozens of tabs, half of which are outdated or missing a key region.

With this MCP, your agent handles that entire data mapping process for you. You just ask it to compare 'Software Engineers' in three states over five years. It spits out the clean, structured numbers you need.

Using `query_bls` delivers definitive wage benchmarks.

The complex manual steps that vanish are the data lookup, the cross-referencing of state codes, and the time spent trying to determine if a salary is median or average. It's all gone.

Now, you get definitive answers instantly. You stop estimating pay ranges and start building reports with verifiable facts.

What your AI can actually do with this

If figuring out exact compensation—say, what a financial analyst earns in New York versus Boston—is part of your job, this MCP is required. Instead of sifting through outdated PDFs and messy government websites, you talk to your agent, and it handles the complex data querying for you. You can get precise median pay ranges by mapping hundreds of distinct professions against dozens of states.

This lets you build real salary benchmarks instantly. When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, you get access to a powerful dataset that allows immediate comparison across geography or job type. It's all about getting hard data on wage distributions and knowing exactly what the market pays right now.

Questions you might have

How reliable is OEWS compared to private job boards? +

Extremely. OEWS pulls directly from true tax and payroll disclosures to the government, eliminating inflated self-reported figures typical on private job sites.

Is a Key required? +

Only one single Key is required from the registration page. Simply plug it into the settings page and access the entire 20-year catalog of wage distribution profiles globally.

Why is wage data a unique server? +

Because querying compensation brackets specific to states and detailed codes (like separating Senior vs Junior codes horizontally) takes specialized tool structures optimally tailored here.

What are the concurrent lookup limits when using the `query_bls` tool? +

The MCP supports up to 50 simultaneous lookbacks for query_bls. This limit allows you to run large comparisons and gather multiple data points in one session without hitting immediate rate restrictions.

Does the `query_bls` tool require knowledge of specific BLS numerical codes? +

Yes, query_bls is designed as a generic time-series query and requires explicit BLS Series IDs. However, you can describe what you need (e.g., 'Software Engineer wages') and let your agent identify the correct underlying ID for you.

If I run `query_bls` for a very niche combination, how does it handle missing wage records? +

The tool is built to handle incomplete data gracefully. If no record exists for the specific occupation and state pair you query, query_bls returns null or an appropriate error message instead of failing.

Can I use `query_bls` to analyze historical wage trends? +

Absolutely. Since this MCP functions as a generic time-series query, you can easily compare median wages for the same role across multiple years or quarters using query_bls. This is perfect for spotting long-term market shifts.

Is the compensation data retrieved by `query_bls` tied to individual employees? +

No, this MCP only accesses aggregated governmental statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data provided through query_bls represents median and average earnings for groups, never private or personal identifying information.
