mcp-inegi

INEGI MCP — Mexico's national statistics office (INEGI) Indicators API.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool Description

inegi_population Total population of Mexico — nationally OR for a specific state/municipality (INEGI census/projection). PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "population of Mexico", "population of Mexico City / Jalisco / a Mexican state". INEGI's strength is the geographic detail. Returns the value with its reference year.

inegi_indicator Fetch any INEGI indicator by its numeric id, at a chosen geographic level — escape hatch for the full Banco de Indicadores (GDP, employment/ENOE, economic census, prices, etc.). Returns the latest value (or full history). Find indicator ids with INEGI's "Constructor de consultas" at inegi.org.mx/app/indicadores. NOTE: for Mexico inflation, interest rates, and the peso exchange rate, the banxico pack is usually the better source.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "inegi": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/inegi/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/inegi/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Inegi data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
