## Overview

The [Fiscal Data MCP Server](https://github.com/QuantGeekDev/fiscal-data-mcp) demonstrates a practical implementation of an MCP server that connects to the US Treasury's Fiscal Data API. It showcases:

- Tools for fetching specific treasury statements
- Resources for historical data access
- Prompts for generating formatted reports

## Quick Start

### 1. Install and Use with Claude Desktop

Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

**MacOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
**Windows**: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

```json

  "mcpServers": {
    "fiscal-data": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["fiscal-data-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

### 2. Example Interactions

Once configured, you can interact with the server through Claude:

```
Human: Can you get the treasury statement for the 20th of September 2023?
```

## Features
