# pipeworx `worldbank` — World Bank

## Coverage
World Bank Open Data: GDP, population, and 10,000+ development indicators for countries over time.

Catalog `tool_count`: 6. Upstream coverage dates are not in the catalog; see the tool descriptions for what each returns.

## Access
MCP endpoint `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/worldbank/mcp` — JSON-RPC `tools/list` and `tools/call` over POST, SSE-framed response (`event: message`, one `data:` line; the answer is in `result.structuredContent`). `tools/list` on 2026-10-01 returned 42 tools: these 6 plus the 36 platform tools every pack endpoint lists.

Tools (names and first sentence of each description as served on 2026-10-01):

- `get_country` — Get basic information about a country: full name, region, income level, capital city, and coordinates. Required: `country_code`.
- `get_indicator` — Get World Bank time-series data — economic, social, and development statistics — for ANY country worldwide (Spain, Brazil, Germany, Nigeria, Japan, etc.). Required: `country_code`, `indicator`.
- `get_population` — Fetch annual total population (SP.POP.TOTL) for a country from the World Bank, defaulting to 2015–2024. Required: `country_code`.
- `get_gdp` — Fetch annual GDP in current USD (NY.GDP.MKTP.CD) for a country from the World Bank, defaulting to 2015–2024. Required: `country_code`.
- `compare_countries` — Compare a World Bank indicator across MULTIPLE countries in one call, returned ranked high→low. Required: `country_codes`, `indicator`.
- `country_co2_emissions` — National CO2 emissions for ANY country worldwide, annual, from the World Bank (AR5 basis, excluding LULUCF). Required: `country_codes`.

Client setup: `claude mcp add pipeworx-worldbank -- npx -y mcp-remote https://gateway.pipeworx.io/worldbank/mcp`.

## Auth
Catalog `auth.shape`: `keyless`. Verbatim detail: "No key required — open upstream, callable as-is." No credential is needed at the gateway to list or call (anonymous tier; see the gateway record).

## Rate limits
Gateway anonymous tier: 50 calls per day per IP, reset 00:00 UTC, printed in `x-ratelimit-*` headers (observed 2026-10-01 on the fred and weather packs; this pack was listed, not called). Upstream limits are not stated in the catalog.

## Freshness
Not stated in the catalog. Reliability: measured 100% over 18 synthetic checks in 7d (last checked 2026-09-28).

## Known gaps
- Cost per call as quoted: 50 credits ($0.0050), category `gov`, basis `list`.
- No catalog notes on cost or licence.
- This record is the catalog's description plus one `tools/list`; it is not a test of the upstream data. Reuse it to find the tool, then observe the upstream yourself.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
