Summary
Connects Claude to Ireland's Central Statistics Office PxStat API for querying official Irish economic and demographic data. The source documentation doesn't list specific tools, but this is part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which means you can use natural language queries through ask_pipeworx instead of calling tools directly. Reach for this when you need Irish census data, labor statistics, trade figures, or other government datasets during analysis. Available as a standalone endpoint or through the full Pipeworx gateway that bundles 673+ data sources. Uses streamable HTTP transport, so no local process management needed.
Keeps your Mac awake while Claude Code, Codex or Cursor works. Lets it sleep when they are done.

Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_datasets | Search the CSO catalog of ~12,600 Irish statistics tables. Returns matching tables with their matrix code (e.g. "CPM01"), label, dimensions, and last-updated date. The full catalog is large, so always pass a keyword query to narrow it. |
dataset_metadata | Get the structure of one CSO table by matrix code: its dimensions, the category codes + human labels for each dimension, size, and last-updated date. Use this to discover valid dimension codes before calling get_dataset with filters. |
get_dataset | Read a full CSO table as JSON-stat 2.0 (dimensions + flat value array). Some tables are large (the CPI table is ~60k values); use dataset_metadata first to gauge size, or use query_dataset to fetch a filtered slice instead. |
query_dataset | Read a FILTERED slice of a CSO table via JSON-RPC. Pass a map of dimension code -> array of category index values to keep (get the dimension codes and category index values from dataset_metadata). Returns JSON-stat 2.0 covering only the selected cells — far smaller than get_dataset. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"cso-ie": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cso-ie/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cso-ie/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1683+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
No MCP client? Call it over HTTP
curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/cso_ie_list_datasets \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"query":"consumer price"}'
No account needed for the first calls. Inspect any tool: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/cso_ie_list_datasets. Find one: POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/search_packs with {"query":"..."}.
Standalone (no gateway account)
This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no gateway round-trip:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cso-ie": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@pipeworx/mcp-cso-ie"]
}
}
}
Or run it directly to confirm it starts:
npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-cso-ie
It speaks MCP over stdin/stdout and answers initialize/tools/list/tools/call
for only this pack's tools — none of the shared meta-tools the gateway
connection above adds. Same source, same tools, no ask_pipeworx routing.
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Cso Ie data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
