MCP Setup — ODI

Connect your client

Add the MCP server via CLI

claude mcp add --transport http odi https://iamodi.com/mcp

Or add it manually to .claude/settings.json:

// .claude/settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "odi": {
      "type": "http",
      "url":  "https://iamodi.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Start Claude Code and ask something like: "Find Eurostat datasets about youth unemployment and fetch annual data for France and Germany."
