Install (One Line, Then Just Talk)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hanlulong/openecon-data/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

That's it. The script auto-detects Claude Code and Codex, configures everything. Then just ask:

You: "What's the US GDP growth rate?"         → your agent fetches real data from FRED
You: "Compare inflation across G7 countries"   → World Bank data for 7 countries
You: "Bitcoin price last 30 days"              → CoinGecko live data

No special syntax. No "use query_data". Just ask naturally — your agent handles the rest.

Manual install (if you prefer)

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport sse openecon-data https://data.openecon.ai/mcp --scope user

Codex:

codex mcp add openecon-data --url https://data.openecon.ai/mcp

Any MCP agent: Endpoint https://data.openecon.ai/mcp (SSE transport)

See skills/README.md for slash commands and auto-trigger options.

Why Your Agent Needs This

AI agents hallucinate economic data. When you ask an LLM "What is US GDP?", you get a plausible-sounding number that may be outdated or wrong. OpenEcon solves this:

	Without OpenEcon	With OpenEcon
Data source	LLM's training data (stale)	Official APIs (FRED, World Bank, IMF)
Accuracy	Approximate, often wrong	Verified, with source attribution
Coverage	Whatever the LLM remembers	330K+ indicators, 200+ countries
Recency	Months or years behind	Up to real-time (FRED, ExchangeRate)
Verifiable	No source link	Every result includes source URL

How It Compares

Feature	OpenEcon	fredapi	pandas-datareader	fred-mcp-server
Natural language queries	Yes	No	No	No
Data sources	10+	1 (FRED)	5	1 (FRED)
MCP server for AI agents	Yes	No	No	Yes
Web UI with charts	Yes	No	No	No
Conversational follow-ups	Yes	No	No	No
Smart indicator discovery	330K indexed	Manual codes	Manual codes	Manual codes
Self-hostable	Yes	N/A	N/A	Yes
No code required	Yes	No	No	No
