Summary
Connects Claude to the World Bank's Data360 platform through Pipeworx, a gateway that bundles 250+ data sources behind a unified MCP interface. Instead of wiring up individual tool calls, you use ask_pipeworx with natural language questions and it routes to the right endpoints automatically. Useful when you need World Bank development indicators, economic data, or global statistics without building custom integrations. The streamable HTTP transport means no local installation. You can add just the Data360 endpoint or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to the entire catalog of sources.

mcp-data360
World Bank Data360 MCP — the World Bank's modern unified data platform.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
data360_list_databases | List the source databases aggregated by World Bank Data360 (e.g. WB_WDI = World Development Indicators, IMF_BOP = Balance of Payments, WB_EDSTATS = Education Statistics). Returns each DATABASE_ID with its full name and indicator count. Use a DATABASE_ID here to scope data360_search_indicators and data360_get_data. |
data360_search_indicators | Full-text search across all Data360 indicators (every WDI/IMF/WHO/ILO/education series in one index). Returns indicator codes (use as INDICATOR in data360_get_data), names, owning DATABASE_ID/name, units, and definitions. Optionally restrict to one database with database_id. |
data360_get_data | Fetch observations for one Data360 series. DATABASE_ID selects the source database (e.g. WB_WDI), INDICATOR is the code from data360_search_indicators (e.g. WB_WDI_SP_POP_TOTL), REF_AREA is an ISO3 country code (e.g. BRA, USA). Returns SDMX-style records with OBS_VALUE, TIME_PERIOD, UNIT_MEASURE and disaggregation attributes (SEX, AGE, etc.). Omit TIME_PERIOD for the full series. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"data360": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data360/mcp"
}
}
}
What this endpoint actually serves
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data360/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 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
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 Data360 data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
