AI agents now drive half of Fed data site traffic

AI agents already account for about half of all visits to the Federal Reserve Economic Data website, according to American Banker. In response, the Fed is introducing a model context protocol designed to help AI bots query its databases more effectively, adapting how it serves economic data as automated tools rather than human users become the dominant audience.

Why now: The shift shows how AI agents are becoming the main consumers of public data infrastructure, forcing institutions to redesign how they publish information.
