Country Stats Facts in Claude
Country data: World Bank, IMF. The MCP server is https://countrystats.openkrill.app/mcp. No key. The steps below are only for Claude. A call to get_country_indicator was checked against that server on 2026-10-01.
What this server answers
Look up official economic and demographic figures for a country, and see the IMF's projections, from the World Bank and the IMF.
Ask "what is Vietnam's population?", "compare GDP per capita for Germany, France and Italy", "what does the IMF forecast for India's growth?" or "rank the Nordic countries by life expectancy".
One tool returns the latest World Bank figure for a country, or the figure for a year you name, for a fixed set of 14 series: population, GDP, GDP per capita, GDP growth, inflation, unemployment, life expectancy, fertility rate, urban population, internet use, exports, income inequality, CO2 emissions per person and electricity use. A second tool compares up to 6 countries on one series in a single call and ranks them. A third returns the IMF's projection for real GDP growth, inflation or government debt for the current year and the next two.
Every value comes with its year, its unit, its source and the date the source was last updated. Latest means the most recent year with data, which is usually one to two years old and differs by country, so the year is always shown.
It is not a source of live prices, exchange rates, markets or news, and it gives no investment or policy advice. Regions and groups such as Europe, the euro area or OECD are not countries here; name the countries you want. The countries you ask about are not stored; the only lasting record is a daily count of calls per tool.
What it can do
- Latest World Bank value, or the value for a given year, for a country on 14 economic and demographic series
- Compares up to 6 countries on one series and ranks them in a single call
- IMF projections for real GDP growth, inflation and government debt for the current year and the next two
- Every value carries its year, unit, source and the date the source was last updated
- Accepts country names, common short names and ISO 2 or 3 letter codes
- Annual statistics only: no live prices, exchange rates or advice
Tools
get_country_indicator, Get a country statistic. Use this when the user asks for one official statistic for one country, such as "what is Vietnam's population?" or "what was unemployment in Spain in 2022?". Pass the country (name or ISO code), the indicator (population, gdp, gdp_per_capita, gdp_growth, inflation, unemployment, life_expectancy, fertility_rate, urban_population, internet_users, exports, gini, co2_per_capita, electricity_use) and optionally a year. Returns the value, its year and unit, the source and the date it was last updated; without a year it returns the latest year with data. It reads annual World Bank statistics only: no live data, forecasts or regions.compare_countries, Compare countries. Use this when the user asks to compare or rank countries on one statistic, such as "compare GDP per capita for Germany, France and Italy" or "rank the Nordic countries by life expectancy". Pass 2 to 6 countries (names or ISO codes), the indicator, and optionally a year and an order. Returns the countries ranked with each value and year, any country without data, the source and the date it was last updated. Expand a group such as Nordic or G7 into its countries first; groups themselves are not accepted.get_imf_forecast, Get an IMF forecast. Use this when the user asks what the IMF projects for a country, such as "what does the IMF forecast for India's growth next year?". Pass the country and the indicator (growth, inflation or debt). Returns the IMF's figures for the current year and the next two, with the unit, the World Economic Outlook edition and the date it was published. It reports the IMF's projections only and does not make its own forecasts.
Add Country Stats Facts in Claude
Claude connects to a remote MCP server as a custom connector. The connection is made from Anthropic's cloud, not from your laptop, so the server must be on the public internet. Country Stats Facts is. These steps were checked against Claude's custom-connector article (updated 2026-08-11) and the Claude Code MCP docs on 2026-10-01.
On a Pro or Max plan:
- Open Customize, then Connectors.
- Select the plus button, then Add custom connector.
- Paste
https://countrystats.openkrill.app/mcp. Leave Advanced settings empty: this server does not need an OAuth client id or secret. - Select Add. The connector is yours. Anthropic has not reviewed it, and it is not a Directory listing.
- In a conversation, open the plus button, then Connectors, and enable Country Stats Facts. Ask: What is Vietnam's population according to the World Bank?
On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds the connector first at Organization settings, then Connectors, then Add, then Custom, then Web, and pastes the same URL. Members then connect it from Customize. A Free plan can add one custom connector.
In Claude Code, add it from the project directory:
claude mcp add --transport http countrystats https://countrystats.openkrill.app/mcpThat writes a local or user config. A JSON entry needs "type": "http" (or streamable-http) plus the url. An entry with a url and no type is skipped. Confirm with claude mcp get countrystats. The tools you should see are get_country_indicator, compare_countries, get_imf_forecast.
Enable the connector only in conversations that need it. Claude can call the tools while you work, including during research, so turn off any tool you do not want invoked. Country Stats Facts does not write to your accounts. It still receives the arguments of each call. Read the privacy page before you paste anything that is not public.
