What is the HealthData.gov (HHS Open Data) MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to HealthData.gov, the central clearinghouse for open data from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS). This MCP server empowers your agent to discover and analyze vast amounts of public health, social service, and Medicare/Medicaid data.
What you can do
- Catalog Discovery — Search and list thousands of available datasets, views, and resources across the entire HHS ecosystem.
- Deep Data Querying — Use Socrata Query Language (SoQL) to filter, sort, and aggregate data from specific datasets (e.g., hospital capacity, COVID-19 statistics, or provider directories).
- Precision Filtering — Apply complex
$where,$select, and$orderparameters to extract exactly the records you need without downloading massive files. - Real-time Research — Fetch the latest updates on public health metrics directly into your conversation for immediate analysis.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Enter your HealthData.gov/Socrata App Token for higher rate limits
- Start querying public health data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Researchers — quickly prototype data queries and fetch subsets of health data for analysis.
- Public Health Officials — monitor live datasets and trends across different states and regions.
- Developers — integrate official HHS data into applications by testing queries through a natural language interface.

Every tool call from Vercel AI SDK to the HealthData.gov (HHS Open Data) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a specific dataset about 'Medicare'?
Use the get_catalog tool and provide 'Medicare' in the q parameter. This will return a list of relevant datasets along with their unique identifiers (dataset_id).
Can I filter results to only show data from a specific state?
Yes! When using query_dataset, use the $where parameter with a SoQL filter like state='NY'. You can also use $select to pick specific columns.
Is an API key required to access this data?
No, the data is public. However, providing a HEALTHDATA_APP_TOKEN is recommended for higher rate limits if you plan to perform many queries.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
