MCP SERVER

Public Health MCP

Query CDC datasets and WHO global health indicators without writing API calls.

Economic, Alternative & Prediction-Market Data
Summary
Both tools want an identifier, and finding it is the real work.

CDC datasets are addressed by Socrata ID and WHO series by indicator code — neither takes a plain-language topic. That is why `health_list_who_indicators` exists and why the README documents the common CDC IDs: use those as the discovery step, and keep the codes you rely on somewhere you can find them again. Once you have the identifier, filtering and paging are straightforward.

What it is

A hosted server over two public health data platforms: the CDC's open data on Socrata, covering surveillance datasets from COVID-19 to chronic disease indicators, and the WHO Global Health Observatory for international indicators.

What you get
  • `health_get_cdc_data` takes a Socrata `datasetId`, optional `filters` as column-value pairs, and `limit` (default 100) with `offset` for paging
  • `health_get_who_indicator` takes an `indicatorCode` — for example `WHOSIS_000001` for life expectancy — with optional ISO-3 `country` and `year`, returning values with dimension breakdowns by sex, age group and region where available
  • `health_list_who_indicators` browses or searches the available indicators, so you can find a code before querying it
  • Common CDC dataset IDs are documented, including `9mfq-cb36` for COVID-19 case surveillance, `5cdz-s4pr` for BRFSS and `g4ie-h725` for flu vaccination
  • WHO coverage is over 2,000 indicators across 194 member states
Requirements

Nothing to install and no API key. Add it as a URL-type entry pointing at `https://public-health-mcp.apify.actor/mcp`. Published as public-health-mcp version 0.1.0. Each tool call costs $0.01, with no subscription.
