## 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)

## MCP tools (4)

### `catalog_browse` (~180 tokens)

Browse the CBS time-series catalog. With no subject_id, returns the top-level subjects (Foreign Trade, Population, Balance of Payments, Consumer Price Index, etc.) — each with a numeric path id. Pass that id back as subject_id to drill into a subject's full set of leaf series paths. The catalog is hierarchical; each catalog entry has a 'path' breadcrumb array and a 'name'. Use this to discover what's available before calling get_series_data.

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Content language. Default "en".
- `page` (integer): Page number for paginated leaf lists (default 1, page size 100).
- `subject_id` (integer): Top-level subject id (from a no-arg call, e.g. 8 = Foreign Trade, 2 = Population). Omit to list the top-level subjects.

### `get_series_data` (~169 tokens)

Fetch the actual time-series observations for a CBS series by its numeric series id (the leaf id found via catalog_browse). Returns metadata (subject path, unit, prices, last update) plus an array of observations with TimePeriod (e.g. "2026-04") and Value. Covers Israeli economic and demographic statistics. Optionally filter by start_period / end_period (YYYY-MM or YYYY).

Input parameters:

- `end_period` (string): Latest period, e.g. "2026-06".
- `lang` (string): Content language. Default "en".
- `series_id` (integer, required): Numeric series id, e.g. 1 (foreign-trade deficit).
- `start_period` (string): Earliest period, e.g. "2025-01" or "2024".

### `index_catalog` (~86 tokens)

List the official CBS price-index catalog tree: chapters (Consumer Price Index, Wholesale Price Index, Housing Price Index, etc.) and their codes. Each code has a numeric codeId used by get_index_data. Use this to find the index code you want (e.g. 120010 = Consumer Price Index - General).

Input parameters:

- `lang` (string): Content language. Default "en".

### `get_index_data` (~158 tokens)

Fetch monthly values for a CBS price index by its numeric code (from index_catalog, e.g. 120010 = CPI General). Returns per-month entries with the index value, the monthly percent change (percent) and the year-over-year change (percentYear) — i.e. Israeli inflation. Optionally filter by start_period / end_period (YYYY-MM or YYYY).

Input parameters:

- `code` (integer, required): Index code, e.g. 120010 (Consumer Price Index - General).
- `end_period` (string): Latest period, e.g. "2026-06".
- `lang` (string): Content language. Default "en".
- `start_period` (string): Earliest period, e.g. "2025-01".

## Common questions

### What is the Cbs Il MCP server?

Cbs Il is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/cbs-il. Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS / הלשכה המרכזית לסטטיסטיקה) MCP. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-cbs-il).

### Is the Cbs Il MCP server safe to use?

Cbs Il scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 Cbs Il MCP server expose?

Cbs Il exposes 4 tools: catalog_browse, get_series_data, index_catalog, get_index_data. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 593 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Cbs Il MCP server still maintained?

Cbs Il is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 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 Cbs Il MCP server under?

Cbs Il declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the Cbs Il MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Cbs Il, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 12 more. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
