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

One NBER Macrohistory series by its NBER id (e.g. “m13045”, “a01006”, “q04002”) — the National Bureau of Economic Research’s long-run archive of historical U.S. macroeconomic series (prices, money & banking, production, trade, employment, construction, agriculture, government finance…), most spanning the 1800s-1960s. Returns the series title, area covered, units, coverage dates and source notes (parsed from NBER’s own documentation for the series) plus every dated observation. m-prefixed ids are monthly, a-prefixed are annual, q-prefixed are quarterly. If you only have the bare digits (no letter), this tries monthly first, then annual, then quarterly. Source: NBER Macrohistory Database (nber.org), fetched live per request.
