Tools

5 tools for discovering and querying Eurostat statistical datasets:

Tool	Description
eurostat_search_datasets	Search the Eurostat catalogue (8,933 datasets) by keyword — returns codes, descriptions, period coverage, and theme breadcrumbs
eurostat_browse_themes	Navigate the Eurostat theme hierarchy — list root themes or drill into subthemes and datasets
eurostat_get_dataset_info	Fetch metadata for a dataset: dimensions with sample values, time range, observation count, and last-update date
eurostat_get_dimension_values	List all valid codes for a specific dimension (e.g., all geo codes, all unit codes); supports NUTS hierarchy filtering
eurostat_query_dataset	Fetch decoded statistical observations with dimension filters, NUTS geo-level, and time-range controls

eurostat_search_datasets

Search the Eurostat dataset catalogue by keyword.

• Case-insensitive substring match against dataset labels across 8,933 datasets
• Returns code, label, type (dataset/table), period coverage, observation count, and theme breadcrumb
• Configurable result limit (1–100, default 20); reports total matches before the limit
• Catalogue loaded once per session from the Eurostat TOC file
• Pair with eurostat_browse_themes for structured domain exploration when keywords are unclear

eurostat_browse_themes

Navigate the Eurostat theme tree.

• Without theme_code: returns the 11 top-level themes (Economy and finance, Population, Transport, etc.)
• With theme_code: returns immediate children — subtheme folders and datasets in that branch
• Each entry includes code, label, type (folder/dataset/table), data period, and observation count where available
• Returns a breadcrumb path from root to the current node
• Use for structured discovery when you know the domain but not the exact dataset code

eurostat_get_dataset_info

Fetch metadata for a Eurostat dataset before querying it.

• Returns all dimensions with their codes, labels, and up to 10 sample values each
• Reports overall time range and total observation count across all periods
• Uses a minimal Statistics API call (most recent period only) for efficiency
• For dimensions with more than 10 values, use eurostat_get_dimension_values for the full list
• Provides a link to the ESMS metadata page when available

eurostat_get_dimension_values

List all valid values for a specific dataset dimension.
