## 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)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.

## 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.

### 2026-11-05 (score 83, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (4)

### `ecos_key_indicators` (~124 tokens)

Bank of Korea headline economic indicators: M1/M2 money supply, KRW/USD + KRW/JPY exchange rates, base interest rate, CPI, PPI, GDP growth, current account balance, household debt, unemployment, housing index — 101 series total in one call. Each row: indicator name, current value, cycle date, unit. Use for "what is Korea's [exchange rate / interest rate / CPI / GDP] right now". Updates daily.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max indicators to return (default 50, max 100).

### `ecos_search_tables` (~134 tokens)

Search Bank of Korea ECOS statistic tables — 800+ official Korean economic series across monetary policy, exchange rates, prices, balance of payments, GDP, real estate, household credit, etc. Returns stat_code + Korean name + cycle (A annual / Q quarterly / M monthly / D daily). Use as a directory before ecos_get_series. q is matched substring-wise against the Korean name; pass blank to browse top-N.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max rows to return (default 30, max 100).
- `q` (string): Korean substring to match against stat names. Empty = browse top-N.

### `ecos_series_items` (~139 tokens)

List the items (sub-series) within a Bank of Korea ECOS statistic table. Most stat_codes have multiple sub-items (e.g., the exchange-rate table has rows per currency: USD, JPY, EUR, ...). Pass the stat_code from ecos_search_tables; returns item_code, item_name, cycle, data_count, start/end period. Use to discover the exact item codes needed by ecos_get_series.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max items to return (default 30, max 100).
- `stat_code` (string, required): Statistic table code from ecos_search_tables (e.g., "731Y001" for exchange rates).

### `ecos_get_series` (~314 tokens)

Fetch a time series from Bank of Korea ECOS. Pass stat_code + cycle (A/Q/M/D) + start/end period. Date format matches the cycle: yearly = "2024", quarterly = "2024Q3", monthly = "202403", daily = "20240315". Optionally narrow to specific item_code(s) via item1/item2/item3/item4. Returns rows with stat_name, item_name, unit, time, data_value. Use after ecos_search_tables + ecos_series_items to discover codes.

Input parameters:

- `cycle` (string, required): Cycle: A (annual), Q (quarterly), M (monthly), D (daily), SM (semi-monthly).
- `end` (string, required): End period (same format as start).
- `item1` (string): Optional item filter (e.g., "0000001" for USD in the exchange-rate table).
- `item2` (string): Optional second item filter.
- `item3` (string): Optional third item filter.
- `item4` (string): Optional fourth item filter.
- `limit` (number): Max rows to return (default 100, max 1000).
- `start` (string, required): Start period in cycle's native format (e.g., "2024" / "2024Q1" / "202401" / "20240101").
- `stat_code` (string, required): Statistic code (e.g., "901Y009" for CPI, "731Y001" for exchange rates).

## Common questions

### What is the Ecos Kr MCP server?

Ecos Kr is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/ecos-kr. ECOS, Bank of Korea Economic Statistics System. This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-ecos-kr).

### Is the Ecos Kr MCP server safe to use?

Ecos Kr 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 Ecos Kr MCP server expose?

Ecos Kr exposes 4 tools: ecos_key_indicators, ecos_search_tables, ecos_series_items, ecos_get_series. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 711 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Ecos Kr MCP server still maintained?

Ecos Kr 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 Ecos Kr MCP server under?

Ecos Kr 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 Ecos Kr MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 16 checks on Ecos Kr, 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.
