About this plugin
xby-ons-data tackles a specific pain point: pulling UK official statistics into a conversation without leaving the chat to dig through the ONS website, memorise hierarchy codes, or hand-craft API requests. It wraps the ONS Beta API behind a small set of semantic MCP tools so the model can list datasets, filter observations by dimension, and fetch the latest figures—all without a pre-configured API key.
The toolkit covers six operations: list_datasets surfaces available datasets with metadata, search_datasets locates a target by name or description, get_dataset returns full structural detail for one dataset, get_observation retrieves specific data points under dimension filters, get_latest_data grabs the most recent values in a single call, and set_xby_apikey writes and persists an API key via the XiaoBenYang platform so it survives restarts.
It is built for economic researchers, data analysts, policy teams, and anyone who needs to cite UK population, employment, inflation, trade, or other official statistics inside a conversation. No scraping scripts, no memorising ONS hierarchy codes—describe the metric you want in plain language and the plugin translates it into a precise API call behind the scenes.
Use Cases
- Query UK CPI, GDP, and employment figures directly in conversation
- Filter specific data points by region, industry, and other dimensions
- Pull the latest values across multiple ONS datasets for comparison
Best For
- Economic researchers and policy analysts
- Data analysts who cite official UK statistics
- Researchers who retrieve and interpret data within a conversation
