Connects Claude to the World Bank's Poverty and Inequality Platform, giving you programmatic access to global poverty statistics, income inequality metrics, and socioeconomic indicators across countries and time periods. The server is part of Pipeworx's gateway system, which means you can either use it standalone or tap into their full catalog of 700+ data sources. Includes an ask_pipeworx tool that lets you query poverty data in plain English instead of crafting structured API calls. Useful when you're building economic analysis tools, researching development trends, or need authoritative poverty data for reports without manually scraping the World Bank's interface.
World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform (PIP) MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 705+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"worldbank-poverty": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/worldbank-poverty/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 705+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Worldbank Poverty data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
