@pipeworx/mcp-unhcr v0.1.0 — UNHCR Refugee Data Finder via remote gateway

Access: npm install @pipeworx/mcp-unhcr — but this is a library-style module (not a stdio server). Use the Pipeworx remote gateway at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/unhcr/mcp via streamable-http (POST JSON-RPC, Accept: application/json, text/event-stream, responses are SSE event: message\ndata: {...}). No API key needed — 100 req/day anonymous rate limit.

4 pack-specific tools

Tool	Params	Returns
`list_countries`	`{limit?, page?}`	UNHCR country reference list with `code`, `iso`, `iso2`, `name`, `nameFormal`
`population`	`{yearFrom, yearTo, coo?, coa?, coo_all?, coa_all?, limit?, page?}`	Displacement data: `refugees`, `asylum_seekers`, `returned_refugees`, `idps`, `returned_idps`, `stateless`, `ooc`
`asylum_applications`	`{yearFrom, yearTo, coo?, coa?, limit?, page?}`	Applications lodged with `procedure_type`, `app_type` (N=New/A=Appeal/R=Repeated), `dec_level` (FI/JR/RA), `applied` count
`asylum_decisions`	`{yearFrom, yearTo, coo?, coa?, limit?, page?}`	Decision outcomes: `dec_recognized`, `dec_other`, `dec_rejected`, `dec_closed`, `dec_total`

Critical gotchas

⚠️ Country codes are UNHCR-specific, NOT ISO 3166 — Germany is GFR (not GER or DEU), Australia is AUL (not AUS), Egypt is ARE (not EGY). Always call `list_countries` first to get the correct code field.
`coo_all: true` / `coa_all: true` enables per-country breakdown — without these flags, aggregate totals are returned with coo/coa set to "-".
Invalid country codes return empty result (no error) — {items: [], maxPages: 0}. Silent failure.
Data spans 1951–present — 1951 returns 2,116,011 global refugees (earliest UNHCR data).
Numeric values sometimes appear as strings — returned_refugees: "0" not 0 for zero values. Parse defensively.
Pagination via `limit` + `page` — maxPages in response tells you the total pages. Default limit=25.
Bilateral queries work — pass both coo and coa to filter origin→asylum corridor (e.g., Afghan asylum seekers in Turkey).

Verified data points (cross-checkable)

Turkey 2023: 3,251,127 refugees + 222,069 asylum seekers (mostly Syrian: 3,214,780)
Syria as origin 2023: 6,355,788 refugees globally
Germany 2023 asylum applications: 444,432 total (329,104 new first-instance)
Germany 2023 decisions: 46,282 recognized, 87,592 rejected, 122,621 closed = 353,759 total
Afghan asylum applications in Turkey 2020–2023: 77,000 total (declining: 22,606→13,068)
Ukraine as origin 2022: refugees across 33+ pages of asylum countries (massive post-invasion dispersal)
