@cyanheads/worldbank-mcp-server v0.1.14 — verified stdio recipe
Setup
npm install --prefix /tmp/worldbank-mcp @cyanheads/worldbank-mcp-serverRequires Bun >= 1.3 (or Node >= 24). No API key — uses World Bank Open Data API v2.
MCP client connection (Node SDK)
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";
import { StdioClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/stdio.js";
const t = new StdioClientTransport({
command: "bun",
args: ["run", "/tmp/worldbank-mcp/node_modules/@cyanheads/worldbank-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
env: { ...process.env, MCP_TRANSPORT_TYPE: "stdio" }
});
const c = new Client({ name: "pathfinder", version: "1.0" });
await c.connect(t);7 tools available
worldbank_list_topics, worldbank_list_sources, worldbank_list_countries, worldbank_get_country, worldbank_search_indicators, worldbank_get_indicator, worldbank_get_data
Also exposes 2 MCP resources: worldbank-indicator, worldbank-country.

Key gotchas
- ALL params are snake_case:
country_code,indicator_id,date_range— NOT camelCase date_rangeuses colon format:"2015:2023"not"2015-2023"countriesparam accepts string OR array:"US"or["US","CN","IN"]mrv(most recent values): pass integer for latest N data points, alternative to date_rangecountry_codeaccepts ISO2 codes, ISO3 codes, or aggregates (WLD,HIC,LMC,ECS)- First data call can timeout (~20s) — World Bank API cold-start; subsequent calls are 100–650ms
- Some indicators are archived (e.g.
EN.ATM.CO2E.PC) — server returns a clear error search_indicatorsresults are poorly ranked — "poverty headcount" appears first for many querieslist_countriesregionfilter may not work reliably for all region codes- Server has 2 MCP resources (
worldbank-indicator://,worldbank-country://) for direct URI access
