## 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)

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-11-03 (score 84, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 13 to 17. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 4 days of observed history at the previous scan, 5 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (5)

### `search` (~67 tokens)

Full-text search across all providers. Returns matching series with provider/dataset/series codes and human labels.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Results, 1-1000 (default 20)
- `offset` (number): 0-based offset
- `query` (string, required): Free-text search

### `list_providers` (~56 tokens)

List all statistics providers available in DBnomics (80+), including provider codes (e.g. ECB, BLS, EUROSTAT, IMF, OECD) and their names. Use provider codes with list_datasets and get_series.

### `list_datasets` (~147 tokens)

DBnomics economic time-series aggregator — enumerate the datasets published by one DBnomics provider code (ECB, BLS, EUROSTAT, IMF, OECD, WB and 80+ national statistics agencies). Returns each dataset's code, name and dimension metadata, paged with limit/offset; those codes are what get_series and find_series expect. Answers which statistical datasets the ECB, IMF or Eurostat publish on DBnomics.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): 1-1000 (default 100)
- `offset` (number): 0-based offset
- `provider` (string, required): Provider code (e.g. "ECB", "BLS", "EUROSTAT")

### `get_series` (~82 tokens)

Fetch a specific time series. Series identified by (provider, dataset, series_code). Include observations to get the actual data points.

Input parameters:

- `dataset` (string, required): Dataset code
- `observations` (boolean): Include data points (default true)
- `provider` (string, required): Provider code
- `series_code` (string, required): Series code (dot-separated dimensions or named code)

### `find_series` (~160 tokens)

Browse series with structured filters. Useful when you know the provider+dataset and want to enumerate series by dimensions. If a filter matches nothing, the response lists the dimension codes the dataset actually accepts.

Input parameters:

- `dataset` (string, required): Dataset code
- `dimensions` (object): Optional dimension filter map. A value may be one code or a list of codes to OR together, e.g. {"FREQ":"M"} or {"FREQ":["M","Q"],"CURRENCY":["USD","GBP"]}.
- `limit` (number): 1-1000 (default 100)
- `observations` (boolean): Include observations (default false to save bandwidth)
- `offset` (number): 0-based offset
- `provider` (string, required): Provider code

## Common questions

### What is the Dbnomics MCP server?

Dbnomics is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/dbnomics. DBnomics MCP, meta-aggregator over 80+ stats providers. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-dbnomics).

### Is the Dbnomics MCP server safe to use?

Dbnomics scores 84 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 Dbnomics MCP server expose?

Dbnomics exposes 5 tools: search, list_providers, list_datasets, get_series, find_series. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 512 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Dbnomics MCP server still maintained?

Dbnomics 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 Dbnomics MCP server under?

Dbnomics 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 Dbnomics MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Dbnomics, 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.
