README

ato-mcp

mcp-name: io.ausdata/ato-mcp

MCP server for Australian Taxation Office statistics. Plain-English access to personal tax by postcode, company tax by industry, corporate tax transparency for every $100M+ entity, super contributions by age, salary by occupation, monthly GST collections, and the live ACNC charity register — all from a single uvx command.

Hosted access? For cross-source queries, webhooks, an always-on REST API, and a uniform response envelope across all 9 sources, see ausdata.io — free tier available (500 calls/mo, no card).

"What's the median taxable income in postcode 2000?"
"How much tax did BHP pay last year?"
"Which industries have the highest gross income?"
"How many Large charities are there in NSW?"
"What's the average super contribution for under-30s in the top tax bracket?"

Sister to abs-mcp (Australian Bureau of Statistics), rba-mcp (Reserve Bank of Australia), and au-weather-mcp (Australian weather via Open-Meteo + BOM). The four together cover the macro / regulator / tax / climate layer of Australian official data.

Install

# Run on demand via uvx (recommended)
uvx --upgrade ato-mcp

# Or install permanently
pip install ato-mcp

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ato": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--upgrade", "ato-mcp"] }
  }
}

Why --upgrade? uvx ato-mcp (without the flag) uses whatever wheel is cached and never adopts new PyPI releases on its own. --upgrade makes uvx check PyPI on each launch and pull a newer release if one exists. To verify which version is currently serving you, look at the server_version field on any DataResponse.

Claude Code / Cursor

claude mcp add ato --command uvx --args -- --upgrade ato-mcp

Auto-updating data

Beyond the wheel-level --upgrade, the server has a second auto-update path inside the data layer: when ATO publishes Taxation Statistics 2023-24 next year, ato-mcp resolves the new resource URL via data.gov.au's CKAN API at fetch time and uses the freshest match. Hard-coded YAML URLs are the safe fallback if discovery fails. You do not need to wait for a new wheel release to get new yearly data — just delete ~/.ato-mcp/cache.db to force a refresh, or wait for the 7-day TTL to expire.

What it exposes

Seven tools, all plain-English in, structured out:

Tool	Purpose
`search_datasets`	Fuzzy-search the curated catalog by keyword
`describe_dataset`	List a dataset's filterable dimensions and returnable measures
`get_data`	Query with `filters`, `measures`, period range, output format
`latest`	Last observation per measure (shortcut)
`top_n`	Rank rows by a measure, return top (or bottom) N
`stats`
