Israel Statistics MCP

Ask your AI assistant about Israeli inflation, prices, and housing data — straight from the official Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).

Once installed, Claude (or any MCP-enabled assistant) can look up price indices, chart historical trends, and run the official CBS inflation calculator for you. No API key needed — the CBS data is free and public.

Install

Claude Desktop

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json (Settings → Developer → Edit Config), then restart Claude:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "israel-statistics": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

One command in your terminal:

claude mcp add israel-statistics -- npx -y @reuvenorg/israel-statistics-mcp

Any other MCP client

Use the same npx command and args as above — that's all a client needs.

Prefer Docker?

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "israel-statistics": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--init",
        "--rm",
        "-i",
        "reuvenaor/israel-statistics-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

What can I ask?

Just talk to your assistant naturally:

• "How much is 1,000 ₪ from January 2015 worth today?"
• "What's the latest Israeli inflation number?"
• "Show me housing price trends from 2020 to 2024."
• "Which price indices exist for food? Compare bread vs. fresh vegetables."
• "Link my 2018 rent of 4,500 ₪ to today using the CPI."

Answers come in Hebrew by default (it's the CBS default) — just ask in English to get English.

What's inside

9 read-only tools your assistant uses behind the scenes:

Good to know

• Housing data updates every two months, and the last three published values are provisional — the server warns automatically when recent housing numbers may still change.
• History depth varies — the general CPI goes back decades; the headline month-range view starts at January 1997.
• It's read-only and free — the server only reads public CBS data over HTTPS (api.cbs.gov.il) and talks to nothing else. No account, no key, no tracking.
