# Israel Statistics MCP [](https://github.com/reuvenaor/israel-statistics-mcp/actions/workflows/ci.yml) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp) [](https://hub.docker.com/r/reuvenaor/israel-statistics-mcp) [](LICENSE) **Ask your AI assistant about Israeli inflation, prices, and housing data — straight from the official Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).** Once installed, Claude (or any MCP-enabled assistant) can look up price indices, chart historical trends, and run the official CBS inflation calculator for you. No API key needed — the CBS data is free and public. ## Install ### Claude Desktop Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json` (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), then restart Claude: ```json { "mcpServers": { "israel-statistics": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp"] } } } ``` ### Claude Code One command in your terminal: ```bash claude mcp add israel-statistics -- npx -y @reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp ``` ### Any other MCP client Use the same `npx` command and args as above — that's all a client needs. ### Prefer Docker? ```json { "mcpServers": { "israel-statistics": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "--init", "--rm", "-i", "reuvenaor/israel-statistics-mcp:latest" ] } } } ``` ## What can I ask? Just talk to your assistant naturally: - _"How much is 1,000 ₪ from January 2015 worth today?"_ - _"What's the latest Israeli inflation number?"_ - _"Show me housing price trends from 2020 to 2024."_ - _"Which price indices exist for food? Compare bread vs. fresh vegetables."_ - _"Link my 2018 rent of 4,500 ₪ to today using the CPI."_ Answers come in Hebrew by default (it's the CBS default) — just ask in English to get English. ## What's inside 9 read-only tools your assistant uses behind the scenes: | Tool | What it does | | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- | | `get_index_topics` | Search all price-index topics by keyword | | `get_catalog_chapters` | List the index categories (CPI, housing, …) | | `get_chapter_topics` | Topics inside one category | | `get_subject_codes` | The concrete index codes for a topic | | `get_index_data` | Historical values for one index | | `get_index_calculator` | Official CBS inflation adjustment between two dates | | `get_main_indices` | Today's headline indices | | `get_main_indices_by_period` | Headline indices over a month range | | `get_all_indices` | The full current-month index tree | ## Good to know - **Housing data** updates every two months, and the last three published values are provisional — the server warns automatically when recent housing numbers may still change. - **History depth varies** — the general CPI goes back decades; the headline month-range view starts at January 1997. - **It's read-only and free** — the server only reads public CBS data over HTTPS (`api.cbs.gov.il`) and talks to nothing else. No account, no key, no tracking. ## For developers Architecture, testing, CBS API details, security notes, and the release process live in [docs/DEVELOPMENT.md](docs/DEVELOPMENT.md).
