## Description

eStatMCP is a Kotlin-based MCP server that provides AI assistants with access to Japan's official statistics portal (e-Stat). Developed by Ichiro Murata, it offers four main tools: searching statistical tables, finding surveys, retrieving metadata, and fetching actual statistical data with filtering capabilities. The implementation uses Ktor for HTTP requests and XML parsing, presenting results in a structured JSON format that makes complex government statistical data accessible for analysis. Particularly useful for researchers, economists, and analysts who need programmatic access to Japanese official statistics through conversational AI interfaces.
