Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns WHO GHO into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from WHO GHO and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 3 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

Frequently asked questions
What health topics and indicators does the WHO GHO cover?
The GHO covers 2,200+ indicators across 40+ themes: life expectancy, child and maternal mortality, infectious diseases (HIV, TB, Malaria, COVID-19), non-communicable diseases (cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular), mental health, immunization coverage, nutrition, water/sanitation, air quality, road safety, tobacco use, and the full Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) monitoring framework.
Is the WHO GHO API free and does it require authentication?
Yes, the GHO OData API is completely free and open without any authentication. The data is published by the World Health Organization as a public good. There are no API keys, no registration, and no rate limits for reasonable usage. The data is updated regularly with the latest country reports.
Which countries are covered and what country codes should I use?
All 194 WHO member states plus territories are covered. Use ISO-3 country codes: BRA (Brazil), USA (United States), GBR (United Kingdom), JPN (Japan), DEU (Germany), IND (India), CHN (China), FRA (France), AUS (Australia), ZAF (South Africa), etc. Data availability varies by indicator and country reporting.
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.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
