MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for BPS (Badan Pusat Statistik) Indonesia official statistics data — by Digimetalab. Enables AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and others to access official Indonesian statistical data through natural language.

Features

• 59 tools covering all BPS WebAPI v1 endpoints + AllStats Search + AI-friendly shortcuts + SIMDASI + SDGs + SDDS + KBLI/KBKI classifications
• AI-friendly — find_data tool with automatic intent detection (resolve region → detect intent → find variable → fetch data)
• Intent Detection — automatically detects: single value, comparison, trend, ranking, table/breakdown, publication
• Stopwords-ISO — automatic noise removal for 758 Indonesian + 1298 English words
• Static Table Fallback — find_data automatically falls back to static tables when dynamic data is unavailable (e.g., religion data)
• Result Hints — every response includes actionable follow-up tips
• AllStats Search Integration — unified search + full-text PDF search (no API key required)
• Smart Fallback — WebAPI search automatically falls back to AllStats if no results
• 3 MCP Resources — domain list, regencies per province, subjects per domain
• 5 MCP Prompts — ready-to-use data analysis templates
• Domain Resolver with fuzzy matching (type "Jatim" → Jawa Timur)
• Data Formatter that converts raw BPS data into readable format
• Persistent Learning Store — auto-learns variable mappings, survives restarts
• In-memory Cache with TTL per data type
• Rate Limiting — 60 req/min per API key (remote worker)
• Bilingual — error messages and responses support both Indonesian and English
• Automatic BPS Attribution in every response (per Terms of Use)
• BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — each user must provide their own BPS API key

Prerequisites

• Node.js ≥ 22
• BPS API key (free, register at webapi.bps.go.id)

Quick Start

Via npx (recommended)

BPS_API_KEY=your_key npx dml-bps-mcp

Clone & Run

git clone https://github.com/Digimetalab/dml-bps-mcp
cd dml-bps-mcp
npm install
npm run build
BPS_API_KEY=your_key npm start

Remote Access via Cloudflare Workers

The server is deployed and publicly available at:

https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp

Health check: https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev

Using with Claude.ai

1. Open claude.ai → Settings → Integrations → Add custom connector
2. Enter:
   • Name: BPS Statistics
   • URL: https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp
3. Claude will open the authorization page
4. Enter your BPS API key (free from webapi.bps.go.id)
5. Click "Authorize" — done!

The server uses OAuth 2.1 per MCP spec. Your API key is securely stored server-side and never exposed to the client.

Using with Other AI Clients (Remote MCP)

For AI clients supporting remote MCP with OAuth (ChatGPT, Cursor remote, etc.):

MCP Server URL: https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp

The client will automatically initiate the OAuth flow — users only need to enter their BPS API key when the authorization page appears.

Using with Custom Headers (without OAuth)

For clients supporting custom headers (Claude Desktop, Cursor local):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dml-bps-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dml-bps-mcp.digimetalab.workers.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-BPS-API-Key": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Self-hosted

Deploy as a serverless worker to your own Cloudflare account:

Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

See the full guide at docs/DEPLOY-WORKERS.md.

Note: BPS WebAPI (https://webapi.bps.go.id) no longer blocks requests from Cloudflare Workers, so you can access it directly (no proxy needed). However, the AllStats Search Engine (https://searchengine.web.bps.go.id) is still blocked by Cloudflare bot challenges. If you use Cloudflare Workers and want AllStats Search/Deep Search features, use bps-api-proxy as a relay (deploy on a server with a residential IP) and set BPS_ALLSTATS_BASE_URL in wrangler.toml to the proxy URL.

How AI Uses This Server

User: "What was Indonesia's poverty rate in 2023?"

AI uses: find_data(query="poverty", region="Indonesia", year="2023")

Internal process (automatic):
1. Intent Detection: "single_value" → find_data
2. Resolve "Indonesia" → domain 0000
3. Normalize: "poverty" → stopword filtering
4. Find relevant subject → "Kemiskinan dan Ketimpangan"
5. Find variable → "Jumlah Penduduk Miskin" (var_id: 183)
6. Resolve "2023" → period ID 123
7. Fetch data → 25.9 million people
8. Result hints: "Check Gini ratio: get_dynamic_data(var="98")"

If find_data fails, the AI can:
- find_variable(keyword="poverty") → see available variables
- list_strategic_indicators() → latest headline data
- search(keyword="poverty") → find related tables/publications

User: "Compare poverty in East Java and West Java"
AI uses: compare_data(query="poverty", regions="Jawa Timur, Jawa Barat")

User: "Trend of unemployment in Indonesia 2019-2024"
AI uses: get_trend(query="unemployment", region="Indonesia", start_year="2019", end_year="2024")

User: "Top 10 poorest provinces"
AI uses: get_ranking(query="poverty", top_n=10, order="highest")

User: "Religious affiliation statistics in Jombang Regency"
AI uses: find_data(query="religion", region="Kab Jombang")
→ Intent: "table" → find_data with static table fallback
→ Automatically fetches "Population by Religion" static table
→ Result hints: "Check more detail: list_static_tables(keyword="religion")"

Development

Setup

git clone https://github.com/Digimetalab/dml-bps-mcp
cd dml-bps-mcp
npm install

Build & Test

npm run build          # Compile TypeScript
npm run test:unit      # Run unit tests (164 tests)
npm run lint           # ESLint check
npm run typecheck      # TypeScript type check

Running Locally

# With environment variable
BPS_API_KEY=your_key npm start

# Or create a .env file (see .env.example)
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env, fill in BPS_API_KEY
npm start

Testing with MCP Inspector

MCP Inspector lets you test tools interactively:

# Install and run inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

# In the inspector UI:
# 1. Transport: stdio
# 2. Command: node
# 3. Args: dist/index.js
# 4. Env: BPS_API_KEY=your_key

Or test directly via stdin (without inspector):

# Test initialize
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}' | node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

# Test find_data
printf '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"notifications/initialized"}\n{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"find_data","arguments":{"query":"inflation","region":"Indonesia"}}}\n' | node --env-file=.env dist/index.js

Testing Remote Worker (Local)

# Start worker locally
npm run dev:worker

# Test in another terminal
curl -X POST http://localhost:8787/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -H "X-BPS-API-Key: your_key" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0"}}}'
