bcrp

bcrp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JOSETRA44/BCRP-mcp. It costs 225 tokens per session (2,125 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for retrieving official Peruvian economic statistics from BCRPData, the public database of Peru’s central bank. It covers data such as exchange rates, interest rates, inflation, GDP, reserves, money supply, credit, and commodity prices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to retrieve current or historical Peruvian economic data through MCP tools, the command line, or the public API.
Why use it?
It explains how to find the right series and avoid errors caused by the database’s codes, dates, and interfaces.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

bcrp scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

BCRP — Peruvian central bank economic data

BCRPData is the open statistics database of Peru's central bank. It is fully public — no API key, no account, no rate limit to negotiate. This skill covers how to pull data from it reliably and how to avoid the handful of quirks that silently produce wrong answers.

Which interface to use

The same functionality is exposed two ways, backed by identical code:

  • MCP tools (bcrp_get_series, bcrp_get_latest, …) — use these when the bcrp MCP server is connected. Preferred: structured data comes straight back to you.
  • bcrp CLI — use when there is no MCP server but the command exists in the shell. Add --json to any data command to get the exact same payload the MCP tool returns, which is what you want when you plan to parse it.

Check which is available before planning a multi-step analysis. If neither exists, the underlying API is a plain public GET — see references/api.md to call it directly.

Task MCP tool CLI
Historical range bcrp_get_series bcrp series get CODE --start P --end P
Current values bcrp_get_latest bcrp series latest CODE --n 5
Verify a code / date range bcrp_describe_series bcrp series describe CODE
Find a code by keyword bcrp_search_catalog bcrp catalog search "query"
Browse categories bcrp_list_catalog_categories bcrp catalog categories
Everything at once bcrp_get_macro_snapshot bcrp macro snapshot

Core workflow

  1. Find the code. Search the catalog by keyword rather than guessing a code — invented codes fail with a "not found" error, and the code format (PD04637PD) is not guessable. The catalog covers ~35 of the most-used series; the full database has 8,000+ monthly, 2,700+ quarterly and 800+ daily series browsable at https://estadisticas.bcrp.gob.pe/estadisticas/series/.
  2. Describe before fetching a long range. describe returns the frequency and the real first/last available period without pulling every data point. This tells you which period format to use and stops you requesting years that don't exist.
  3. Fetch. Use latest for "what is it now", get with a range for history.
  4. Report the period alongside the value. These series are revised and published on a lag; a number without its period is not a usable answer.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
