globalpulse-mcp-server

🌐 Globalpulse-MCP

A Model Context Protocol server for real-world intelligence — macroeconomics, climate, disasters, trade flows, aviation, and country data. All from globally trusted open APIs with no proprietary subscriptions required.

Built because no MCP server exists for institutional-grade global data — World Bank, UN, OpenSky, and ERA5 climate all in one place.

⚡ Public Endpoint (no setup required)

MCP endpoint: https://globalpulse-mcp-production.up.railway.app/mcp

Health check: https://globalpulse-mcp-production.up.railway.app/health

Notes

• All tools support response_format: "markdown" (default) or "json" (for agent pipelines)
• Weather coordinates use decimal degrees (e.g. 19.076, 72.877 for Mumbai)
• Aviation velocity is displayed as km/h
• UN Comtrade free tier: limited requests/day — use "TOTAL" for commodity_code for best availability
• OpenSky free tier: ~400 requests/day for anonymous access
• World Bank data lags 1–2 years for some indicators — use end_year=2022 for best coverage

Roadmap

See ROADMAP.md for the full build plan — Priority 2 (IMF, Copernicus satellite, USGS seismology, Global Forest Watch, OpenAQ, ECB FX rates) and Priority 3 (WHO health, NASA EONET, WTO tariffs, NOAA climate) are documented with tool names, API sources, and business value rationale.

~29 tools across 16 global APIs planned total.
