US Macro

Overview

US Macro is a Model Context Protocol server that brings US macroeconomic data from FRED directly into your AI assistant. Access inflation, employment, growth, housing, rates, and recession signals as tools your model can invoke in real time.

The server runs locally via the Python package us-macro-mcp, installed with uvx us-macro-mcp. You'll need a FRED_API_KEY set as an environment variable to authenticate. Version v0.1.2 is available now under MIT license, with full source code at hgus107/US-Macro-MCP on GitHub.

US Macro lives in the AI & Agents category and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain this server, claim your listing here to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
