MCP server providing access to both Statistical Series (unemployment, GDP, etc.) and Price Indices (CPI, construction inputs, etc.) from the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. Features hierarchical topic exploration, unified search across series and indices, time-series data retrieval with year filtering, and a smart local caching system that builds a comprehensive index of the entire CBS catalog on startup. The cache auto-refreshes daily for up-to-date data access.
The CBS publishes essential statistical series and price indices, but accessing data through the official interface is cumbersome. It is difficult to find the right series, navigate the topic hierarchy, and retrieve specific time-period data without dedicated tools.
