Description
Open Economics turns fragmented Brazilian public data into one consistent, no-key layer for developers, analysts, and AI agents. Query official sources such as BCB, IBGE, Tesouro, SICONFI, Comex Stat, MTE, ANP, EPE, and CVM through REST or a 19-tool MCP server, with dataset identity, units, dates, metadata, and provenance preserved.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an API wrapper or MCP server is simple, but normalizing and reliably scraping massive, disjointed Brazilian government data sources (BCB, IBGE, SICONFI, etc.) requires significant data engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires robust data pipeline orchestrators (e.g., Airflow or Dagster) connecting to heterogeneous government endpoints that often break, lack versioning, or require complex ETL. The hard part is domain-specific schema normalization, handling inconsistent date/currency conventions, and maintaining uptime against unstable public infrastructure. A data engineer with deep knowledge of Brazilian fiscal data standards is necessary.
