get_sdmx_data
Filtered observations by productId + key. Returns a CSV download URL on the hosted server — data stays out of context.
How to use it
Project documentation lists get_sdmx_data for the MCP Statcan MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
