How to Use the WHO GHO MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I check a country's profile using WHO GHO in Claude Code?

Run a command that invokes getwhocountryprofile with your desired ISO-3 code. The result is immediately available on standard output, ready for piping to JSON processors or log files.

Q: Can I get multi-year indicator data using WHO GHO in Claude Code?

Yes. You script the call sequence: first, you run searchwhoindicators to get codes; then, you pass those codes and a range of years into getwhoindicatordata for batch processing.

Q: If I need data for multiple countries using WHO GHO in Claude Code?

List the ISO-3 codes (like BRA, USA, JPN) and pass them to getwhocountryprofile within a single script block. The terminal output will aggregate the results.

Perplexity

Script Country Profile Checks

From the terminal, you can run a script that calls `get_who_country_profile` using specific ISO-3 codes (e.g., IND). The output is piped directly to standard out for logging or further processing. This makes it ideal for scheduled cron jobs that periodically check country health status.

Batch Indicator Data Pulls

Need year-over-year data? Scripting with `get_who_indicator_data` lets you pull values, including sex disaggregation. You can loop through indicator codes found via the initial search and dump the time series results. This is perfect for generating historical compliance reports in a headless environment.

Indicator Code Discovery Scripting

Use `search_who_indicators` to generate a comprehensive list of indicator codes. You can pipe this output into a configuration file or use it as input for another script. This allows you to automate the setup process when dealing with 2,200+ WHO health indicators across multiple countries.
