03 · What Eurostat MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can search the Eurostat catalogue by keyword - returns codes, descriptions, period coverage, and theme breadcrumbs, navigate the Eurostat theme hierarchy - list root themes or drill into subthemes and datasets, fetch metadata for a dataset: dimensions with sample values, time range, observation count, and last-update date, and list all valid codes for a specific dimension (e.g., all geo codes, all unit codes).
