API Key

You can use the default test key guest:guest for testing, but it has limitations. For production use, obtain your own API key from Trading Economics.

Architecture

The server is built using:

  • .NET 9.0 - Runtime platform
  • ModelContextProtocol - MCP server framework
  • Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting - Application hosting
  • Dependency Injection - Service management

Key Components

  • ITradingEconomicsService - HTTP client abstraction for API calls
  • TradingEconomicsService - Implementation with authentication
  • MacroPulseMcpOptions - Configuration model for API key
  • Tool classes with [McpServerTool] attributes for MCP exposure

Configuration

The server uses standard .NET configuration with support for:

  • appsettings.json - Base configuration
  • appsettings.{Environment}.json - Environment-specific settings
  • Environment variables

Configuration Schema

{
    "TradingEconomics": {
        "ApiKey": "string" // Your Trading Economics API key
    }
}

Development

Adding New Tools

  1. Create a new class in the Tools/ directory
  2. Add [McpServerToolType] attribute to the class
  3. Add [McpServerTool] and [Description] attributes to methods
  4. Use dependency injection to access ITradingEconomicsService

Example:

[McpServerToolType]
public class CustomTools(ITradingEconomicsService service)
{
    [McpServerTool, Description("Get custom data.")]
    public async Task<string> Get_custom_data(
        [Description("Parameter description")] string parameter)
    {
        return await service.GetData($"custom/{parameter}");
    }
}

Building and Testing
