## MCP tools (5)

### `china_lpr` (~235 tokens)

China's PBOC Loan Prime Rate (贷款市场报价利率, LPR) history — the 1-year and 5-year benchmark lending rates, each with its official reference/announcement date. Published monthly on the 20th (or next business day) by the National Interbank Funding Center under PBOC authorization. The 1-year rate anchors most corporate and consumer loans; the 5-year rate anchors mortgages. Returns up to the last 12 monthly announcements (the publisher exposes only a rolling ~1-year window) plus a `latest` field for the most recent print. Answers "what is the current PBOC LPR", "China's 1-year and 5-year loan prime rate history", "when did the PBOC last cut the LPR". Keyless, sourced live from the National Interbank Funding Center, under PBOC authorization.

Input parameters:

- `months` (number): How many of the most recent monthly rows to return, 1-12 (default 12). The upstream only exposes a rolling ~1-year window, so values above 12 are capped at 12.

### `china_lpr_latest` (~108 tokens)

China's most recent PBOC Loan Prime Rate (贷款市场报价利率一年期/五年期, LPR 1Y/5Y) print only — a cheap single-row call for just the current 1-year and 5-year rates and their official reference/announcement date, without the 12-month history. Use china_lpr instead if you need the trend over time. Keyless, sourced live from the National Interbank Funding Center, under PBOC authorization.

### `china_macro_indicator` (~754 tokens)

China's headline National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) macro indicators — one tool, pick an `indicator`: `cpi` (Consumer Price Index, national/urban/rural, y/y + m/m), `ppi` (Producer Price Index), `pmi` (manufacturing + non-manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index), `gdp` (quarterly GDP, published as year-to-date cumulative, by sector), `industrial_production` (industrial value-added growth), `retail_sales` (total retail sales of consumer goods), `fixed_asset_investment` (FAI), `money_supply` (M0/M1/M2 outstanding + growth), or `trade` (General Administration of Customs monthly export/import totals in USD). Returns the latest period's values first (with its period, e.g. "2026-09"), then up to `periods` months/quarters of history, newest first — every Chinese NBS field name translated to an English name with its unit and the index convention it uses (prior-period = 100 unless stated otherwise). Answers "China's latest CPI", "China PMI history", "China Q2 GDP growth", "China M2 money supply", "China's trade surplus last month". Default route is a republisher's data centre. Pass `source: "nbs"` to read the National Bureau of Statistics of China's own database directly: every series then carries its period, period TYPE (single month/quarter vs year-to-date), measure (index vs percent change vs level), unit and base, exactly as published and never converted, and `data_as_of`. The direct route also adds `urban_unemployment` (surveyed urban unemployment rate) and `capacity_utilization` (industrial capacity utilisation, quarterly), and `region` (a province name, or `all` for the 31 mainland provincial-level regions in one period) for cpi, ppi, industrial_production, fixed_asset_investment and gdp. A series whose base cannot be established from the publisher's own label comes back basis_status "unresolved" rather than guessed. Keyless, sourced live from the National Bureau of Statistics of China (General Administration of Customs for `trade`).

Input parameters:

- `indicator` (string, required): Which NBS/Customs indicator to return.
- `period` (string): (source nbs, region "all") The period to cross-section: "YYYY-MM" for monthly series, "YYYY-Qn" for quarterly ones. Omit for the latest period with data.
- `periods` (number): How many of the most recent monthly/quarterly rows to return, 1-36 (default 12).
- `region` (string): (source nbs) A mainland province by English or Chinese name (e.g. "Guangdong", "广东省") for that region's history, or "all" for all 31 mainland provincial-level regions in one period. Available for cpi…
- `series` (string): (source nbs) Return one named series only, e.g. "cpi_yoy_index", "cpi_mom_index", "ppi_yoy_index", "manufacturing_pmi". Omit for every series of the indicator; an unknown name lists the valid ones.
- `source` (string): Which route serves the data. Default "eastmoney" (republisher). "nbs" reads the National Bureau of Statistics of China directly and returns typed series (period type, measure, unit, base). Implied by…

### `china_house_prices` (~273 tokens)

China's NBS 70-city residential price indexes — new-build commercial housing (新建商品住宅) and resale/existing housing (二手住宅), year-on-year and month-on-month, for Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and 67 other NBS-tracked cities. Pass `city` (English name, e.g. "Beijing") for that city's history (up to 24 months); pass `month` ("YYYY-MM") to pin a specific release; pass neither for the latest month's full 70-city cross-section. Index values use the prior period = 100 convention (e.g. 97.7 = a 2.3% year-on-year fall). Answers "Beijing home price index", "which Chinese cities have falling house prices", "China 70-city house price index for August". Keyless, sourced live from the National Bureau of Statistics of China, via Eastmoney's data centre.

Input parameters:

- `city` (string): One of the 70 NBS-tracked cities, by English name (e.g. "Shanghai", "Chengdu"). Omit for all 70 cities in the latest month.
- `month` (string): A specific release month as "YYYY-MM" (e.g. "2026-08"). Omit for the latest available month.

### `china_rates` (~246 tokens)

China's money-market and government-bond benchmark rates. `series: "shibor"` returns the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate across all 8 tenors (overnight through 1-year) — the latest 11:00-Beijing-time fixing plus up to `days` of daily history. `series: "yield_curve"` returns the China Government Bond yield curve: the dated 1-year/10-year benchmark series (IMF SDDS disclosure) plus CFETS's real-time quoted-yield curve across every actively-traded CGB maturity (~1 month to ~50 years). Answers "current SHIBOR rates", "China's 10-year government bond yield", "China yield curve history". Keyless, sourced live from the China Foreign Exchange Trade System / National Interbank Funding Center.

Input parameters:

- `days` (number): (shibor only) How many calendar days of history to request, 1-365 (default 30).
- `periods` (number): (yield_curve only) How many daily rows of the 1Y/10Y benchmark history to return, 1-60 (default 20).
- `series` (string, required): Which rate series to return.

## Common questions

### What is the China Macro MCP server?

China Macro is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/china-macro. China macro: PBOC Loan Prime Rate, headline NBS indicators (via Eastmoney's data centre), 70-city… This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-china-macro).

### Is the China Macro MCP server safe to use?

China Macro scores 82 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 China Macro MCP server expose?

China Macro exposes 5 tools: china_lpr, china_lpr_latest, china_macro_indicator, china_house_prices, china_rates. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,616 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the China Macro MCP server still maintained?

China Macro 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 China Macro MCP server under?

China Macro 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 China Macro MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on China Macro, 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.
