All Axion MCP Server tools require a valid API key. Include your key in the server configuration before using any tool.
The economics tools connect you to macroeconomic data and events. Dataset search and retrieval pull from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) database — a comprehensive repository of hundreds of thousands of economic time series maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The economic calendar tool provides scheduled data releases and events across countries and currencies, allowing you to track what is coming and when.
Search the FRED database for economic datasets by keyword. Use this tool to discover what series are available before fetching the full time series with econ_dataset.
