Public data on how Claude usage varies by country and occupation
Overview
The Anthropic Economic Index is a public dataset built from Claude conversations, describing where and for what Claude gets used. This is one of the nine connectors Anthropic publishes itself. Coverage runs across countries and subregions, occupations and job categories, and individual work tasks, with an index comparing a geography's share of Claude usage against its share of the working-age population. Queries can return one country's profile, a ranked list of every published country, a within-country breakdown by state or province, a side-by-side comparison of several regions, or the most common work tasks worldwide. The listing describes the surface as read-only, and the endpoint answered a tool listing without any credentials.
Economists, policy researchers, and journalists studying AI adoption patterns.
All nine tools are `econ_index_*` reads and they form a clear ladder: `econ_index_get_dataset_overview` first, then list calls for countries and subregions, profile calls for a single region, and `econ_index_compare_regions` or `econ_index_list_top_work_tasks` for cross-cutting views. Nothing writes.
Availability
Anthropic Economic Index is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. Anthropic has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing
Anthropic Economic Index publishes 9 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 41.3% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
The median Claude-listed connector filed under Data & Analytics publishes 12, so this one sits 3 tools below its bucket's median, 115th of 198.
It falls in the 7-10 tools band, which holds 14.6% of the Claude directory.
A direct call to the endpoint returned 9 tools, matching the 9 the listing publishes. Probed 2026-08-07.

Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
https://econ-index.mcp.claude.com/mcp Anthropic Economic Index is one of only 9 connectors in the entire Claude directory built by Anthropic itself, 0.7% of the 1,253 listings. Everything else is published by a third party.

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Anthropic Economic Index's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with Anthropic, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
Node8 builds MCP servers end to end: deciding which tools are worth exposing, the authentication and permission model, the review submissions, and the onboarding that gets them used. One server serves ChatGPT, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.
