Försäkringskassan statistics

Sickness and parental benefit figures from Försäkringskassan’s own open statistics, reached without a key or an account.

What it is

Försäkringskassan administers Sweden’s social insurance and publishes statistics about it. This integration is a keyless proxy onto that open statistics API, covering three benefit areas: sickness benefit and the sickness rate, parental benefit, and temporary parental benefit — the leave taken to care for a sick child, known in Sweden as vab.

Use it for

• “How has the sickness rate developed in this region over the last five years?”
• “What does parental benefit use look like, split by parent?”
• “How much temporary parental benefit was taken last winter compared with the one before?”
• “Which tables are available, and what dimensions do they carry?”

Data and permissions

• Open statistics, no key. Nothing about your organisation passes through.
• Read-only.
• Live. Answers come from Försäkringskassan at the time of the question.

Getting started

Add the MCP server to an assistant and ask.

Limitations

• Three benefit areas only. Sickness benefit, parental benefit and temporary parental benefit. Other benefits Försäkringskassan administers are not covered by this version.
• Aggregate statistics. Nothing here is about an individual, and no case data is reachable — this cannot answer anything about a specific person’s claim.
• Sweden only.
• Statistics lag reality. A benefit period is counted once it has been processed, so recent months are systematically incomplete and reading them as a trend is a mistake.
