What is the World Bank Data MCP server?
An implementation of the Model Context Protocol for the World Bank open data API
What tools does World Bank Data expose?
1 in total: 1 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is World Bank Data safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does World Bank Data need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does World Bank Data run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as world_bank_mcp_server.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (7d0dd1e6a1fb), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
