Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security99
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 3 of 35 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency48
  • Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~1,582 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
describe_dataset ~201

Describe a dataset's filterable dimensions, returnable measures, units, source, and (for insurance) framework break info. Use this before calling get_data on a new dataset — it tells you the valid filter keys ('institution', 'sector', 'data_item'), the valid enumerated filter values ('cba', 'major_banks'), the measure aliases ('cet1_ratio', 'total_capital'), and the canonical source URL. For insurance datasets, the response includes a `framework` block documenting the Q3-2023 AASB-17 break. Returns: DatasetDetail with id, name, description, period_coverage, list of dimensions, list of measures, source_url, download_url, and optional framework info.

get_data ~548

Query a curated APRA dataset and return observations. Examples: # CBA's CET1 ratio over time resp = await get_data( "ADI_KEY_STATS", filters={"institution": "cba"}, measures="cet1_ratio", ) # Major banks' total capital, last 5 quarters resp = await get_data( "ADI_KEY_STATS", filters={"sector": "major_banks"}, measures="total_capital", start_period="2024-01-01", ) # Total industry gross written premium (general insurance) resp = await get_data( "INSURANCE_GENERAL", filters={"data_item": "Gross written premium", "industry_segment": "total_industry"}, ) # AustralianSuper member account counts resp = await get_data( "SUPER_FUND_LEVEL", filters={"fund_name": "australian_super"}, measures=["total_member_accounts", "total_members_benefits"], ) Returns: DataResponse with records (or csv), unit, period bounds, row_count, source URL, the actual download_url used, optional framework info (insurance only), and CC-BY 3.0 AU attribution.

latest ~218

Return the most recent observation per measure for a dataset. Trims to the single latest period per measure across the filtered slice — useful for "what's CBA's current CET1?" style questions without having to think about start_period. Wide-layout entity-level datasets (INSURANCE_GENERAL etc.) are capped at `limit` rows. Examples: # Latest CBA capital ratios resp = await latest("ADI_KEY_STATS", filters={"institution": "cba"})

NameTypeReqDescription

No examples provided.

search_datasets ~220

Fuzzy-search the curated APRA dataset catalog. All datasets ship hand-curated in v0.1: per-bank capital ratios, per-bank risk-weighted assets, fund-by-fund superannuation, and post-AASB17 life + general insurance (with separate historical archives for the pre-Q3-2023 reporting framework). Examples: # Find the dataset for bank capital ratios results = await search_datasets("bank capital cet1") # → [{id: 'ADI_KEY_STATS', name: 'ADI Key Statistics — entity-level...', ...}] # Discover what's available on insurance results = await search_datasets("insurance premium") Returns: List of DatasetSummary (id, name, description, update_frequency, is_curated), ranked by relevance.

limitintegerMaximum number of results to return, ranked by relevance.
querystringyesFree-text search query. Matches against dataset IDs, names, descriptions, and curated search keywords. Case-insensitive.

No examples provided.

top_n ~363

Return the N rows with the largest (or smallest) value of a measure. The single most common agent workflow: "show me the top 10 X by Y". top_n does the rank server-side and returns only the requested rows. Examples: # Biggest 10 banks by total capital, latest quarter top_n("ADI_KEY_STATS", "total_capital", n=10, filters={"period": "2025-12-31"}) # Most members per super fund (latest) top_n("SUPER_FUND_LEVEL", "total_member_accounts", n=10, filters={"period": "2025-12-31"}) # 5 lowest CET1 ratios in the latest quarter top_n("ADI_KEY_STATS", "cet1_ratio", n=5, direction="bottom", filters={"period": "2025-12-31"}) Returns: DataResponse with at most `n` records, sorted by `measure` in the requested direction. Other fields match get_data.

NameTypeReqDescription
dataset_idstringyesCurated dataset ID.
directionstring'top' returns the N rows with the LARGEST measure values (biggest bank, highest capital, largest fund). 'bottom' returns the SMALLEST.
filtersOptional dimension filters, same shape as get_data. Typically you'll pin a single period to make rank meaningful (e.g. {'period': '2025-12-31'} for the latest quarter).
measurestringyesPlain-English measure key to rank by. Use the describe endpoint or describe tool to see available measures.
nintegerHow many top (or bottom) rows to return.

Common questions

What is the io.ausdata/apra-mcp server?

io.ausdata/apra-mcp is listed in the public MCP registry as io.ausdata/apra-mcp. Query APRA in plain English, bank capital, fund-level super, insurance stats. This page covers its PyPI package (apra-mcp).

Is the io.ausdata/apra-mcp server safe to use?

io.ausdata/apra-mcp scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 20 September 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the io.ausdata/apra-mcp server expose?

io.ausdata/apra-mcp exposes 6 tools: search_datasets, describe_dataset, get_data, latest, top_n, list_curated. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,582 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.ausdata/apra-mcp server still maintained?

io.ausdata/apra-mcp is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

What licence is the io.ausdata/apra-mcp server under?

io.ausdata/apra-mcp declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
