# Statistical Centre of Iran

Read-only Statistical Centre of Iran (amar.org.ir): CPI inflation, unemployment, census, any table.

The tools below come from the `amar-mcp` MCP server. If they are not available, install it with `claude mcp add amar -- uvx amar-mcp`, or add `"amar": {"command": "uvx", "args": ["amar-mcp"]}` to the client's MCP servers config. It needs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). Restart the session after installing.
