Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 11 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1106 tokens (~100/item across 11 items; 11 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 11 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
How do I install the Statistics of the World MCP server?
Statistics of the World is a hosted endpoint at https://statisticsoftheworld.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
compare_countries ~58
Compare 2-10 countries on selected indicators.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country_ids | array | yes | List of country codes (max 10) |
| indicator_ids | array | – | Indicator IDs to compare (default: GDP, population, life expectancy, etc.) |

compare_sources ~154
Cross-source reconciliation: for one concept (e.g. GDP), return the IMF, World Bank, and UN values side by side per country, with the year each source reports. Sources legitimately disagree — different vintages, exchange-rate conventions, and revision cycles; this tool makes the disagreement visible instead of hiding it. Works for concepts with a multi-source mapping (GDP, GDP per capita, GDP growth, population, and others).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country_id | string | – | Optional ISO3 code to return a single country instead of all |
| indicator_id | string | yes | Concept key, e.g. IMF.NGDPD (GDP), IMF.NGDPDPC (GDP per capita), IMF.NGDP_RPCH (real growth) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_available_indicators ~31
List all available indicators grouped by category.

get_indicator_ranking ~133
Rank countries by an indicator available to the caller's tier. Supports top N and bottom N queries.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| indicator_id | string | yes | Indicator ID. GDP accepts IMF.NGDPD or the World Bank original NY.GDP.MKTP.CD; also e.g. SP.POP.TOTL for population, FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG for inflation. Call get_available_indicators or search_indicators t… |
| limit | number | – | Number of results (default 10) |
| order | string | – | "desc" for highest first, "asc" for lowest first |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
