The problem, first
Real questions, cited data.
Ask a general AI assistant about Ecuador and it's common for it to invent figures with total confidence: there isn't enough Ecuador in the data it was trained on, and it has no way to verify anything in real time. Give it EcuDataMCP's tools and it stops guessing: it searches the official portal, cites the source, and the number it returns is real. These ten examples show that difference.
