## Description

The World Bank Education & Health MCP gives your agent a direct line to global development statistics. Instead of hunting through dense reports or navigating complex data portals, you can just ask your agent to pull the numbers for you. It turns your AI into a research assistant that knows the fine details of global social welfare. You can ask about literacy rates in specific regions or see how much a country actually spends on education relative to its GDP. It's a huge time saver because it handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval. By connecting it through the Vinkius catalog, you get a reliable way to ground your AI's analysis in real-world humanitarian facts. It's about moving from a guess to a fact without the manual copy-pasting. You get the data you need to write reports, plan programs, or conduct academic research in seconds. This means you can spend your time thinking about what the data means for your project instead of spending hours trying to find it. You can quickly compare life expectancy across continents or find specific mortality rates to see where health interventions are most needed. It takes the friction out of global research.

## Tools

### get_life_expectancy
Pulls the current life expectancy at birth for a specific country or region. This helps you quickly establish baseline health metrics.

### get_infant_mortality
Retrieves the infant mortality rate to assess early-life health outcomes. Use this to evaluate the effectiveness of maternal health programs.

### get_health_expenditure
Shows the current health expenditure as a percentage of a country's GDP. This is key for comparing national priorities.

### get_literacy_rate
Fetches the adult literacy rate for a given location. It provides a quick snapshot of educational attainment.

### get_edu_health_indicator
Retrieves any specific World Bank education or health indicator using its unique code. This lets you dig into more niche data points.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the life expectancy in Japan compared to the global average?
```

**Response:** 
```
🌍 **Life Expectancy: Japan vs World**

Japan leads globally with a life expectancy of approximately 84 years, well above the worldwide average of ~73 years. This gap reflects Japan's world-class healthcare system and lifestyle factors.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which countries spend the most on education as a percentage of GDP?
```

**Response:** 
```
🌍 **Education Spending Leaders**

```

**Prompt:** 
```
How has infant mortality improved in India over the last 30 years?
```

**Response:** 
```
🌍 **Infant Mortality: India (1994–2024)**

India has achieved remarkable progress, reducing infant mortality from over 80 per 1,000 live births in the mid-1990s to approximately 25 today — a nearly 70% reduction driven by expanded healthcare access.

## Capabilities

### Pull life expectancy stats
Get the current life expectancy at birth for any country or region to establish baseline health metrics.

### Check infant mortality rates
Retrieve infant mortality rates to assess early-life health outcomes and maternal health success.

### See health spending as a % of GDP
View how much a nation spends on healthcare relative to its economy to compare national priorities.

### Get adult literacy rates
Fetch adult literacy rates for specific locations to get a quick snapshot of educational attainment.

### Query specific education or health indicators by code
Access niche World Bank indicators by using their specific codes for deep-dive data analysis.

## Use Cases

### Comparing national healthcare
A researcher asks for a comparison of life expectancy between Nordic countries and Southeast Asia to identify trends. The agent pulls the data instantly.

### Education funding analysis
A policy advisor wants to see which countries spend the highest percentage of GDP on education to model a new budget. The agent uses `get_health_expenditure`.

### Humanitarian aid planning
An NGO worker asks for infant mortality rates in a specific region to decide where to send new medical supplies. The agent retrieves these rates immediately.

### Academic literature review
A student uses `get_edu_health_indicator` to find specific literacy stats for a thesis on global development without manual searching.

## Benefits
