MCP-FREDAPI is an MCP server that provides access to economic data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) through the Model Context Protocol. It integrates with the official FRED API, focusing on the series_observations endpoint to retrieve time series data for economic indicators. This server is designed for AI assistants like Claude, enabling them to fetch FRED data directly when used with Cursor or other MCP-compatible environments.
Installation is done via pip (with mcp, httpx, python-dotenv) or uv (recommended). After cloning the repository, set your FRED API key in a .env file. For Cursor, add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json using the uv run command. Use the tool @mcp-fredapi:get_fred_series_observations within Claude to query series. Note that only certain parameters currently work: series_id, sort_order, units, frequency, aggregation_method, and output_type. Other parameters like observation_start, limit, and vintage_dates are not working due to MCP limitations.
.env file and mcp.jsonIt enables AI assistants to query economic time series from the Federal Reserve’s FRED database directly within MCP-compatible environments like Cursor.
You can obtain a free API key from the FRED API website (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/docs/api/api_key.html). Set it in the `FRED_API_KEY` environment variable in a `.env` file.
Only `series_id`, `sort_order`, `units`, `frequency`, `aggregation_method`, and `output_type` are functional. Parameters like `realtime_start`, `realtime_end`, `limit`, `offset`, `observation_start`, `observation_end`, and `vintage_dates` are not working.
Add a configuration entry to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` using the `uv` command pointing to your local repository directory. The README provides a full JSON example.
Examples include `GDP` (Gross Domestic Product), `CPIAUCSL` (Consumer Price Index), `UNRATE` (Unemployment Rate), `FEDFUNDS` (Federal Funds Rate), and `A191RL1Q225SBEA` (Real GDP). The README lists several common IDs.
