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 $order parameters 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

(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.

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns HealthData.gov (HHS Open Data) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from HealthData.gov (HHS Open Data) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 2 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

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.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
