Tools

Tool	Description
catalog_browse	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.
get_series_data	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).
index_catalog	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).
get_index_data	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).

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cbs-il": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cbs-il/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Cbs Il data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
