US Fiscal Data (Claude Skill)

Query the U.S.


Type	Claude Skill
Supplier	K-Dense Inc. (community OSS)
Availability	GA — part of the actively maintained K-Dense `scientific-agent-skills` collection
Pricing	Free / OSS (MIT)
Capabilities	Read/Write — Claude runs the skill’s Python locally (Bash), not as an MCP tool

How to install

Claude Code / Claude.ai — Skills CLI (recommended):
```
npx skills add K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
```
Installs the K-Dense collection; enable the usfiscaldata skill when prompted. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex via the Agent Skills spec (requires Node ≥ 18).
Claude Code / Claude Desktop — manual clone:
```
git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills
cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/usfiscaldata ~/.claude/skills/
```
Project-scoped alternative: copy into .claude/skills/ instead of ~/.claude/skills/. The skill declares its own Python dependencies in its SKILL.md; install them (the K-Dense skills generally use uv / pip) when prompted on first use.

What it does

Query the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data REST API for federal financial data. No API key required. Use for national debt (Debt to the Penny), Daily Treasury Statements, Monthly Treasury Statements, Treasury securities auctions, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, savings bonds, or U.S. government revenue and spending statistics.

Primary use cases: national debt (Debt to the Penny), Daily Treasury Statements, Monthly Treasury Statements, Treasury securities auctions, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, savings bonds, or U.S.

Notes

Distributed as a SKILL.md (plus code examples) in the K-Dense collection — Claude executes it locally via Bash/Python rather than as an MCP server. Upstream license: MIT. The skill name to enable after install is usfiscaldata.
