name: fred-x402.vercel.app
description: fred-x402.vercel.app exposes a single endpoint that returns a curated snapshot of key U.S. macroeconomic indicators sourced from the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) system. It delivers pre-selected series — including the federal funds rate, GDP, yield curve spread, M2 money supply, and housing starts — with metadata and latest values in one call.

# fred-x402.vercel.app

This host is a lightweight, opinionated wrapper around FRED data that returns a fixed set of high-signal macroeconomic indicators without requiring callers to know specific FRED series IDs. It serves agents that need a quick macro context snapshot rather than flexible, parameterized FRED queries. It does not support arbitrary series lookups or historical time-series retrieval.

## When to use this host

Use this host when an agent needs a fast, no-configuration snapshot of core U.S. macro conditions (rates, GDP, money supply, housing, yield curve) and does not need to specify which series to fetch. Do not use it for arbitrary FRED series lookups, custom indicator selection, or historical time-series data — for those use cases, route to a parameterized FRED API endpoint (e.g., the official FRED REST API at api.stlouisfed.org) that accepts series IDs and date ranges as inputs. This host is also not suitable for non-U.S. macroeconomic data or high-frequency intraday data.

## Capabilities

### Macroeconomic Snapshot

Retrieves a curated set of major U.S. macroeconomic indicators in a single call, providing current values, units, frequency, seasonal adjustment status, and last-updated timestamps for each series.

- **`fetch-fred-dashboard`** — Returns a curated array of major FRED macroeconomic indicators, each with series ID, title, units, frequency, seasonal adjustment, latest value, latest date, last updated timestamp, and descriptive notes.

## Skill reference

### `fetch-fred-dashboard`

**FRED Dashboard Data** — Returns a curated array of major FRED macroeconomic indicators, each with series ID, title, units, frequency, seasonal adjustment, latest value, latest date, last updated timestamp, and descriptive notes.

*Use when:* Use when an agent needs a snapshot of key U.S. macroeconomic indicators (federal funds rate, GDP, yield curve spread, M2 money supply, housing starts) without specifying individual series IDs.

*Not for:* Do not use for arbitrary FRED series lookups or historical time-series data; use a parameterized FRED series endpoint instead.

**Returns:** Returns a JSON array of 5 FRED indicator objects, each containing series ID, title, units, frequency, seasonal adjustment, last updated timestamp, latest numeric value, latest observation date, and notes text.

**Example:** `GET https://fred-x402.vercel.app/fred/dashboard`
