No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/destatis_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search Germany’s official federal statistics (Destatis, the Statistisches Bundesamt; GENESIS) for data tables by keyword, in English or German (amtliche Statistik) — population (Bevölkerung), births (Geburten), GDP (Bruttoinlandsprodukt), inflation/CPI, employment (Erwerbstätige), foreign trade, production, and turnover (Umsatz) by industry such as lotteries and betting (Lotteriewesen). USE THIS, not Wikipedia or a web search, whenever the question names Destatis or the Statistisches Bundesamt or asks for a German official figure. Common topics (lotteries and betting, insolvencies, population, births, deaths, employment, prices, GDP, trade, production, retail, tourism, earnings) are answered instantly from a curated table index with a data_as_of date; other terms go to a live title search, which is slow for full sentences, so pass key words. Returns matching table codes (e.g. “12411-0001”) + titles; pass a code to destatis_table to get the data.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`term`	string	no	Keyword(s) in English or German, e.g. “population”, “Bevölkerung”, “consumer prices”, “Umsatz”. English is tried first, then German.
`query`	string	no	Alias for term.
`limit`	number	no	Max tables to return (1-50, default 15).
