+MCP server for US economic data (unemployment, CPI, employment) via the [Bureau of Labor Statistics API](https://api.bls.gov/publicAPI/v2/). No authentication required.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `get_series` | Fetch any BLS time series by series ID |
+| `get_unemployment` | Get the US civilian unemployment rate over time |
+| `get_cpi` | Get the US Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers |
+| `get_employment_by_industry` | Get US non-farm payroll employment by industry |
+
+## Quickstart via Pipeworx Gateway
