With no subject_id, returns the top-level subjects (Foreign Trade, Population, Balance of Payments, Consumer Price Index, etc.) — each with a numeric path id. Pass that id back as subject_id to drill into a subject's full set of leaf series paths. The catalog is hierarchical; each catalog entry has a 'path' breadcrumb array and a 'name'. Use this to discover what's available before calling get_series_data. |\n| `get_series_data` | Fetch the actual time-series observations for a CBS series by its numeric series id (the leaf id found via catalog_browse). Returns metadata (subject path, unit, prices, last update) plus an array of observations with TimePeriod (e.g. \"2026-04\") and Value. Covers Israeli economic and demographic statistics. Optionally filter by start_period / end_period (YYYY-MM or YYYY). |\n| `index_catalog` | List the official CBS price-index catalog tree: chapters (Consumer Price Index, Wholesale Price Index, Housing Price Index, etc.) and their codes. Each code has a numeric codeId used by get_index_data. Use this to find the index code you want (e.g. 120010 = Consumer Price Index - General). |\n| `get_index_data` | Fetch monthly values for a CBS price index by its numeric code (from index_catalog, e.g. 120010 = CPI General). Returns per-month entries with the index value, the monthly percent change (percent) and the year-over-year change (percentYear) — i.e. Israeli inflation. Optionally filter by start_period / end_period (YYYY-MM or YYYY). |\n\n## Quick Start\n\nAdd to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"cbs-il\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cbs-il/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### What this endpoint actually serves\n\n`tools/list` at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cbs-il/mcp` returns the tools in the table\nabove **plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools** — `ask_pipeworx`,\n`discover_tools`, `search_within`, `remember`/`recall` and the rest of the\ngateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a\nsingle-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the\npack's own. The connection's `initialize` response states its exact scope, and\nis the authoritative answer for a given day.\n\nThis is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a\nscoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via\n`ask_pipeworx`, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a\nsecond MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without\nthem; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,\nconnect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.\n\nOr connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed\ndirectly, instead of just this one's:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"pipeworx\": {\n      \"url\": \"https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nBoth URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The\nonly difference is which pack's tools are listed **directly**; `ask_pipeworx`\nreaches all of them from either one.\n\n## Using with ask_pipeworx\n\nInstead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English —\nthis works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:\n\n```\nask_pipeworx({ question: \"your question about Cbs Il data\" })\n```\n\nThe gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.\n\n## More\n\n- [Docs and guides](https://pipeworx.io/docs)\n- [pipeworx.io](https://pipeworx.io)\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n",
