I wrote tidycensus for #rstats to simplify the process of acquiring US Census data. But - you still have to know R to use it! I wrote a rudimentary tidycensus #MCP to teach Claude to fetch Census data - watch the video for the results.

I prompt Claude, then it: 🌎 Searches available ACS variables; 🌎 Selects median household income (B19013_001) as the appropriate metric 🌎 Retrieves 2023 ACS 5-year estimates with margins of error 🌎 Formats everything into a clean table with key insights

All using tidycensus and R under the hood - but the user just asks a question in plain English. This could make Census (and other!) data more accessible to practitioners who need flexible access to demographic data but don't code, as MCP handles the translation from English.

Next steps: expanding to more complex queries, spatial operations, and time series comparisons. The video shows how powerful this could be!
