## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search_tables` (~74 tokens)

Search Statistics Canada data tables

Keyword search across all ~8,200 Statistics Canada data tables (CPI, GDP, labour force, housing, population...). Returns product IDs to explore with get_table_metadata.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Max results
- `query` (string, required): Keywords, e.g. 'consumer price index monthly' or 'housing starts'

### `get_table_metadata` (~106 tokens)

Get table dimensions and members

Structure of a Statistics Canada table: its dimensions and their members with member IDs. Large dimensions are truncated — pass member_filter (e.g. 'gasoline') to find specific members. Use the member IDs with get_data_by_coordinate.

Input parameters:

- `max_members` (integer): Max members listed per dimension
- `member_filter` (string): Keyword to filter dimension members by name
- `product_id` (integer, required): Table product ID from search_tables, e.g. 18100004

### `get_data_by_vectors` (~120 tokens)

Get time series by vector ID

Fetch observations for up to 10 Statistics Canada vector IDs (a vector uniquely identifies one time series, e.g. v41690973 = CPI all-items Canada). Give a date range, or latest_n most recent periods (default 12).

Input parameters:

- `end_date`: End of range, YYYY-MM-DD
- `latest_n` (integer): N most recent periods
- `start_date` (string): Start of range, YYYY-MM-DD
- `vectors` (array, required): Vector IDs, 'v41690973' or 41690973

### `get_data_by_coordinate` (~102 tokens)

Get time series by table coordinate

Fetch observations by choosing one member ID per dimension of a table (get them from get_table_metadata). Example: table 18100004 with member_ids [2, 2] = CPI, Canada, all-items.

Input parameters:

- `latest_n` (integer): N most recent periods
- `member_ids` (array, required): One member ID per dimension, in dimension order
- `product_id` (integer, required): Table product ID, e.g. 18100004

### `get_series_info` (~52 tokens)

Decode a vector ID

What is this vector? Returns the series title, source table, and coordinate for a vector ID.

Input parameters:

- `vector` (string|number, required): Vector ID, 'v41690973' or 41690973
