Types for IMF (International Monetary Fund) economic data
integration via the native TypeScript SDMX 3.0 REST client
(src/mcp/imf-mcp-client.ts), which calls
https://dataservices.imf.org/REST/SDMX_3.0/ directly.
Used to enrich EU Parliament articles with fresher macroeconomic context
than the World Bank WDI provides (IMF WEO ships 2025 actuals + 2026-2030
forecasts; WDI typically lags by 12+ months for the most recent vintage).
Wave 1 dual-source note
This module is additive. The World Bank types in ./world-bank.ts remain
the authoritative source for social/health/education/environment indicators
that IMF SDMX does not publish. IMF types cover the macro/fiscal/trade/
monetary subset plus native multi-year forecasts.
Transport history
The first Wave 1 iteration proxied through the Python
c-cf/imf-data-mcp MCP server. That transport was replaced with a
native TypeScript HTTP client so the stack remains npm-pure and
pinned per ISMS §7. The IMF_MCP_TOOLS identifier list is retained
as a stable "virtual tool" surface for the content-validator
fingerprint and workflow probes.
