What this MCP does

Provides US baby-name popularity data from 1880–2025, including yearly trends, geographic spread, comparisons, and cultural enrichment.

compare_names
Side-by-side comparison of 2-3 names: full yearly series for each so trends can be plotted or contrasted directly.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['names'], 'properties': {'names': {'type': 'array', 'items': {'type': 'string'}, 'maxItems': 3, 'minItems': 2, 'description': 'Names to compare, e.g. ["Michael", "James", "David"]'}}}
get_decade_names
Returns the top baby names aggregated across an entire calendar decade.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['decade'], 'properties': {'decade': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Decade label, e.g. "1980s"'}}}
get_name_data
Returns full yearly birth count timeseries (1880–2025) for a given name for both sexes, including trend classification (rising/stable/declining/endangered/extinct), peak year, and peak count.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['name'], 'properties': {'name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The baby name to look up (case-insensitive)'}}}
get_name_debuts
Returns every name that appeared in SSA records for the first time in the given year — genuine linguistic novelties, celebrity imports, invented spellings, or names newly crossing the 5-birth reporting threshold.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['year'], 'properties': {'year': {'type': 'integer', 'minimum': 1880, 'description': 'Birth year to find debut names for'}}}
get_name_diaspora
Returns the geographic spread of a name over time: where it originated, when it peaked nationally, which states adopted it and when, and how many states never adopted it.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['name'], 'properties': {'sex': {'enum': ['M', 'F'], 'type': 'string', 'description': "Restrict to this sex (defaults to the name's most common sex)"}, 'name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The baby name to look up'}}}
get_name_enrichment
Returns a precomputed profile for a name: estimated living population and median age, its popularity wave shape, cultural catalysts (events/media tied to spikes), historical demographic profiles by era (top occupations, region, urban vs. rural), and regional anomalies (states where it over-indexes).
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['name'], 'properties': {'sex': {'enum': ['M', 'F'], 'type': 'string', 'description': "Restrict to this sex (defaults to the name's most common sex)"}, 'name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The baby name to look up'}}}
get_names_by_status
Returns a curated list of names filtered by trend status.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['kind'], 'properties': {'kind': {'enum': ['extinct', 'endangered', 'rising', 'comeback'], 'type': 'string', 'description': 'extinct=zero recent births; endangered=near-zero; rising=gaining share; comeback=previously dormant now recovering'}}}
get_name_twin
Finds the names whose popularity trajectory over time is most similar to the given name (cosine similarity on the yearly series), i.e. names that rose and fell together.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['name'], 'properties': {'sex': {'enum': ['M', 'F'], 'type': 'string', 'description': "Restrict to this sex (defaults to the name's most common sex)"}, 'name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'The baby name to find trajectory twins for'}}}
get_site_metadata
Returns top-10 names per year, total birth counts per year, and the full year range covered by the dataset.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {}}
get_year_movers
Year-over-year rank changes for the top 100 names of each sex vs. the prior year: biggest gainers, biggest losers, and new entrants.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['year'], 'properties': {'year': {'type': 'integer', 'minimum': 1881, 'description': 'Birth year to compare against the prior year'}}}
get_year_names
Returns the top baby names for a given birth year (1880–2025).
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['year'], 'properties': {'year': {'type': 'integer', 'maximum': 2025, 'minimum': 1880, 'description': 'Birth year'}}}
search_names
Autocomplete search for US baby names. Returns up to 10 suggestions matching the given prefix.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': ['q'], 'properties': {'q': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Name prefix to search for (e.g. "Jen", "The")'}}}
