The National Statistics Office (NSO) launched the beta version of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for the eSankhyiki portal.
eSankhyiki is India’s national portal for official statistics.
MCP allows AI-based, real-time access to datasets without downloading files.
The beta release includes datasets such as the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS), Consumer Price Index (CPI), Index of Industrial Production (IIP), National Account Statistics, Wholesale Price Index (WPI), Annual Survey of Industries, and Environmental Statistics.
The initiative supports data-driven governance and wider access to official statistics.
