• Statista launches its MCP server (Model Context Protocol), enabling secure and seamless access to verified Statista data across popular AI assistants or automation platforms – from Claude to OpenAI or Gemini
• Building on the launch of ‘Statista Connect’ in April, this advancement turns Statista’s API-approach into a widely integrable data layer for AI. Thus ensuring compliance with copyright, citation rights, and secure data usage.
• By grounding AI and automated workflows in human-validated insights, Statista strengthens accuracy, transparency, and trust across AI ecosystems worldwide – all without leaving the conversation or workflow environment.

Hamburg, Germany – This year, Statista, one of the world’s leading data-as-a-service companies, launched its API-first service Statista Connect, designed to integrate Statista’s verified and trusted data in third party environments. With the debut of its MCP server, Statista Connect now gives every popular AI-powered system real-time, authenticated access to over one million expert-verified statistics from more than 50,000 trusted sources. Whether it is Claude Desktop, Gemini, n8n or OpenAI’s Deep Research API and Agent Builder.*

“This marks an important milestone for us on our chosen path to becoming the world's leading data provider for AI ecosystems,” said Marc Berg, CEO of Statista. “At the same time, this step is a strategic evolution that reflects how intelligence, data, and trust are able to converge at scale within AI systems and workflow engines.”

Bridging the gap between AI intelligence and market reality

Today’s AI assistants and automation tools excel at many tasks, but often they operate in isolation from reliable, up-to-date data. When AI assistants rely on scraped or outdated web data, they risk generating inaccurate or misleading content undermining user trust and limiting enterprise adoption. This makes their use and integration into workflows – especially in a professional environment – only possible with caution and requires manual verification. Statista’s MCP serves this issue by giving AI-powered systems direct and secured access to Statista’s continuously updated research library, allowing relevant statistics to be retrieved and cited instantly.

The result: a new class of data-enhanced AI output that is expert-curated, consistently formatted, and ready for professional use, such as financial analyses, automated sales pitches, slicing target audiences and validating trends.

“The possibilities unlocked by our new MCP server are virtually limitless. By making our data natively available across leading AI ecosystems, we enable trusted market intelligence to flow seamlessly into business-critical decisions and workflow systems,” explained Viviane Minz, Vice President API Products & Ecosystems at Statista. “By elevating critical workflows, we enable organizations and professionals to scale AI with confidence while guaranteeing that every insight remains accurate and trustworthy.”

From context switching to continuous intelligence

Enabling this, professionals no longer need to break focus to find reliable figures. Their AI tools can now think and source Statista data with the same fluency. This advancement marks a decisive milestone in Statista’s vision to embed trusted, human‑validated data at the core of AI ecosystems, ensuring that reliable insights continuously fuel the next generation of intelligent systems. This not only strengthens confidence in AI-generated results but also empowers AI to serve as a central tool for decision-making.
