Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1683+ live data sources.
Tools
kosis_stat_list({ parentListId, vwCd, _apiKey })— walk the table directory one level at a time.kosis_search({ searchNm, orgId, startCount, resultCount, _apiKey })— find tables by keyword; returns theorgId+tblIdpair the data tool needs.kosis_stat_data({ orgId, tblId, itmId, objL1, objL2, prdSe, newEstPrdCnt, startPrdDe, endPrdDe, _apiKey })— observations from one table.
Auth
Platform key (PLATFORM_KOSIS_KEY) with BYO override via ?_apiKey=. Free registration at — sign up, request OpenAPI access per service, key issued immediately (no manual approval step).
Data sources
- — table directory.
- — keyword search over tables.
- — observations.
Traps
- KOSIS reports an invalid or missing key as HTTP 200 with a body of
{"err":"11","errMsg":"유효하지않은 인증KEY입니다."}. Every status-code check reads that as success. This pack inspects err on a 200 and raises.
- `prdSe` must match what the table actually publishes. Asking a monthly
table for "Y" returns zero observations with no error.
- Korean-language search terms match far more tables than English ones.
- The success payload is unverified — no fleet key exists. Field names come
from the published parameter guide; every tool also returns raw, so a caller with a real key gets the untouched payload if a name here is stale.

Is mcp-kosis-kr safe to connect to an agent?
