Questions

What can the AI do in SCB Statistics Sweden?

It can search SCB tables, read a table's information, metadata, default selection and codelists, and fetch data from a table with simple or detailed selections. All tools only read.

Does the AI see my SCB Statistics Sweden credentials?

There are none to see. The SCB PxWebApi API needs no account or API key, so you do not paste anything into PipMCP. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on. All tools here only read public statistics, so nothing is changed anywhere. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. Statistics Sweden's PxWebApi itself is open data and free to use.

How does the AI pick the right numbers from a table?

An SCB table has variables, such as region or year, and each variable has value codes. The AI reads the table's metadata first to learn those codes, then asks only for the values you need. That keeps answers exact and the queries small.
