Curated sources
Five public data sources Vistazo hosts and operates for you.
Contents
What is a curated source?
Curated sources are five public data sources that Vistazo hosts. Vistazo runs the servers and keeps up with the upstream APIs, so you need no account and no key. You can build a dashboard from them before you connect anything of your own. A dashboard can also show them beside charts of your own data, such as exchange rates next to revenue. Calls are free, like every data call, and each source allows each person a set number of calls a minute (Limits).
| Source | Data | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Countries | Development indicators per country and year, such as population, GDP, life expectancy and CO₂, from thousands available | 9 tools |
| Markets | Financials for U.S. public companies from SEC filings, with daily stock prices | 6 tools |
| Economy | U.S. macro series from FRED, such as inflation, unemployment, rates and housing. Federal debt and spending. Daily exchange rates | 10 tools |
| Weather | Current conditions and a nine-day forecast anywhere, historical weather from the nearest NOAA station, earthquakes worldwide, live U.S. weather alerts, and U.S. storm history since 1950 | 7 tools |
| Wikipedia | Daily pageviews for any English Wikipedia article since 2015, and the most-read articles of any day | 3 tools |
How do you connect a curated source?
A new workspace starts with Countries and Economy connected for the person who created it. To add another, open Settings → Connections and press the + beside it under Included. There is no sign-in, because the source is public data.
How does your agent reach a source?
Your agent reaches these sources through Vistazo's MCP server, the same one it uses for dashboards.
https://mcp.vistazo.ai/mcp
Your agent finds a source's tools with search_tools and runs them with call_tool, under names
such as economy__series_observations or weather__forecast. The /mcp/full address lists them
directly. There is nothing to install for each source. A source is named for its subject
rather than its provider, because several draw on more than one. Economy reads FRED, the U.S. Treasury
and the European Central Bank.
See Connect your own agent to set one up, and Your connected sources for how source tools behave there.
Who publishes the data?
The data belongs to its publishers, and their licenses require credit. Each source's page under Settings → Connections names its publishers, and Learn more opens the source's page here.
