# unesco-mcp

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) data.
Bring the [UIS Data Browser](https://databrowser.uis.unesco.org/browser) 
into any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.).

## What it does

This server connects AI assistants to the [UIS API](https://api.uis.unesco.org/api/public/documentation/), enabling them 
to search indicators, retrieve data values, compare countries, and explore available breakdowns — all through natural conversation. 
Data is cached locally in SQLite for fast indicator discovery, while live API calls fetch the actual data values.
