What this server can do

6 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

who_get_indicator_metadata(indicator_codes)
Fetch metadata for one or more WHO GHO indicator codes: the full indicator name and the dimensions it supports (e.g. COUNTRY, REGION, SEX, YEAR, WORLDBANKINCOMEGROUP, AGEGROUP). Call this before querying data with who_query_indicator_data to confirm which filter dimensions are valid for a given indicator. Accepts up to 10 codes per call. Codes with no metadata are reported in the notFound array rather than causing an error. Required: indicator_codes.
who_list_dimension_values(dimension)
List valid codes and labels for a WHO GHO dimension type such as COUNTRY, REGION, SEX, WORLDBANKINCOMEGROUP, or AGEGROUP. Use this to discover valid filter values before calling who_query_indicator_data, or to confirm the correct ISO code for a country. Use who_list_dimensions to discover all available dimension type codes. Required: dimension.
who_list_dimensions
List all dimension type codes and human-readable titles available in the WHO Global Health Observatory API. Use this to discover valid dimension codes before calling who_list_dimension_values. Common dimensions include COUNTRY, REGION, SEX, WORLDBANKINCOMEGROUP, and AGEGROUP, but many additional types exist — this tool exposes them all.
who_list_indicators(limit, offset)
Browse the WHO Global Health Observatory indicator catalog with pagination. Use when you want to explore indicators without a keyword, or to page through the full catalog. Use who_search_indicators when you have a keyword to narrow the results.
who_query_indicator_data(sex, limit, year_to, year_from, dim1_value, region_codes, country_codes, indicator_code, income_group_codes, include_uncertainty)
Query data rows for a single WHO GHO indicator with optional spatial, temporal, and dimension filters. Returns rows with numeric values, uncertainty intervals (Low/High), and spatial/time metadata. This is the primary data-fetching tool in the find-then-query workflow: use who_search_indicators to find the indicator code, optionally call who_get_indicator_metadata to confirm which filter dimensions are valid, then call this tool. Spatial filters are mutually exclusive per call: provide only one of country_codes, region_codes, or income_group_codes — mixing them triggers an error. Omitting all spatial filters returns all geographies (may be large; use limit to cap). The sex filter only applies when the indicator uses SEX as its first cross-cutting dimension — if not, the filter returns empty rows; check who_get_indicator_metadata first if uncertain. Required: indicator_code.
who_search_indicators(limit, query)
Search the WHO Global Health Observatory indicator catalog by keyword in the indicator name. Returns indicator codes and names for use with who_query_indicator_data. The search uses a substring match on indicator names — try terms like "life expectancy", "immunization", "mortality", "diabetes", or "HIV". If results are truncated, refine the query or use who_list_indicators to browse by offset. Required: query.

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as cyanheads, health-data, public-health, odata. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
