Need a baseline for comparison? Call `get_edu_health_indicator` to pull any World Bank education or health statistic by its code.

Perfect for feeding stats into a presentation deck.

Analyzing Rates with the MCP Server

Want to compare populations? Use `get_infant_mortality` and `get_literacy_rate`. These tools grab specific rates, allowing you to build comparisons between regions without switching apps. Plus, check out `get_adult_literacy_rate` when you need a broader picture of educational attainment. All this data comes through the MCP Server's local connection.

Determine economic pressure points with `get_health_expenditure`. This tool retrieves current health expenditure as a percentage of GDP, which is crucial for policy analysis.
