🎯 Overview

BCRP-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless access to economic and financial time series data from the BCRP (Banco Central de Reserva del Perú) - Central Reserve Bank of Peru. This server enables AI agents and applications to search, explore, and analyze Peru's economic indicators, financial statistics, and monetary data through a standardized MCP interface.

🚀 How to Use

Claude Desktop (Remote Server)

Note: Requires npx which comes bundled with npm. If you don't have npm installed, install Node.js which includes npm.

Add to Claude Desktop config (Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

{
     "mcpServers": {
       "bcrp_mcp_remote": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": [
           "mcp-remote",
           "https://bcrp-mcp.onrender.com/mcp"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

Local Server

Note: Make sure you have uv installed. If not, install it from uv.tool.

Clone and install:

git clone https://github.com/rodcar/bcrp-mcp.git
   cd bcrp-mcp
   uv sync

Add to Claude Desktop config (Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config):

Note: Replace /path/to/bcrp-mcp with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

{
     "mcpServers": {
       "simple_mcp": {
         "command": "uv",
         "args": [
           "--directory",
           "/path/to/bcrp-mcp",
           "run",
           "main.py"
         ]
       }
     }
   }

MCP Inspector (Alternative)

Note: Requires npx which comes bundled with npm. If you don't have npm installed, install Node.js which includes npm.

Note: Replace /path/to/bcrp-mcp with the actual path where you cloned the repository.

Run

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector \
  uv \
  --directory /path/to/bcrp-mcp \                     
  run \
  main.py

Open MCP Inspector (URL displayed in the console) and configure the MCP client with the following settings:

• Transport Type: Streamable HTTP
• URL: http://bcrp-mcp.onrender.com/mcp
• Request Timeout: Increase from default values
• Maximum Total Timeout: Increase from default values
• Proxy Session Token: Use the token generated in the console

🏛️ Architecture Diagram

BCRP-MCP follows the Model Context Protocol specification and provides a clean abstraction layer over the BCRP API.

• BCRP for providing open access to Peru's economic data

Note: bcrpy was used in early development, is no longer a dependency. Unfortunately the performance for the remote MCP server led to response timeouts.
