How to Use the Harvard WHO Health MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can I analyze immunization trends using Harvard WHO Health inside Windsurf?

Yes. Cascade uses getimmunization to fetch coverage rates for polio, measles, or DTP3, then writes the markdown tables for you.

Q: How do I find specific indicator codes?

You run searchindicators through the chat interface. The agent searches over 1000 WHO metrics and returns the exact codes you need for your queries.

Let Windsurf pull and analyze global epidemiological metrics directly in your workspace without writing boilerplate API integrations.

Chain multi-country health comparisons in Windsurf

The `compare_countries` tool pulls ten years of historical health metrics for any list of ISO country codes you feed it. Cascade takes your high-level prompt, identifies the target countries, and calls this tool to assemble the comparative dataset. You don't write script loops to fetch individual country records. Windsurf handles the multi-step retrieval, parses the raw numbers, and spits out clean tables directly inside your active chat window.

Map disease patterns with Cascade's autonomous planner

By querying `get_malaria`, you fetch estimated case counts across high-burden regions to track global transmission trends. Cascade automatically chains this with `get_tuberculosis` and `get_hiv_aids` when you ask for infectious disease profiles. This MCP Server integration allows Windsurf to map overlaps in disease burdens without manual prompting for each virus or parasite. The agent pulls the metrics, checks for regional correlations, and presents the final analysis in one run.

Analyze economic health drivers without manual steps

Accessing `get_health_expenditure` retrieves purchasing-power-adjusted spending data to show what nations actually invest in care. Cascade couples this with `get_life_expectancy` to calculate the return on health investments. You get a direct look at how healthcare budgets map to actual population lifespans. Because the agent executes these queries in sequence, you see the completed economic analysis without running separate scripts.
