What you can do

What your AI can do with Census MCP Server

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

Use “census_list_datasets”: Browse available Census Bureau datasets with their supported vintage years. Use as the starting point when the right dataset is unknown — AC.

Use “census_list_geographies”: List the geography levels available for a given Census dataset and year, along with the parent geographies each level requires. Use before q.

Use “census_search_variables”: Search Census variables by keyword across variable labels and concept groups. Returns variable codes with human-readable labels — use this t.

Use “census_get_variable”: Fetch full metadata for one or more Census variable codes — label, concept group, predicate type, universe, and margin-of-error sibling refe.

Official endpoint

Operated by Census MCP Server (caseyjhand.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.

No sign-in needed

This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.

Scanned before it goes live

gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.

Watched for drift

If Census MCP Server adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
