What is the OpenDataSUS MCP Server?
Connect to the OpenDataSUS portal to explore and analyze Brazilian public health information through natural language. This server interfaces with the CKAN-based API of the Ministry of Health.
What you can do
- Dataset Discovery — List all available datasets, search for specific health topics (like COVID-19 or vaccination), and browse by tags or categories.
- Metadata Inspection — Retrieve detailed metadata for packages and individual resources to understand data provenance and structure.
- Deep Data Querying — Use the DataStore search to filter and retrieve actual rows from CSV and Excel resources directly into your conversation.
- Organizational Browsing — List data providers and organizations to find specific departmental records.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- (Optional) Enter your OpenDataSUS API Key for higher rate limits
- Start querying Brazilian health data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Data Scientists & Researchers — quickly find and sample epidemiological data without manual downloads
- Public Health Analysts — monitor health indicators and dataset updates through simple queries
- Developers — integrate official Brazilian health data into applications and dashboards with ease

Frequently asked questions
How can I search for specific rows inside a large CSV dataset?
You can use the datastore_search tool. Provide the resource_id and use the q parameter for full-text search or the filters parameter to target specific columns.
Can I find which organizations provide the most datasets?
Yes! Use the organization_list tool to see all data providers registered in the OpenDataSUS portal.
How do I get the download link for a specific data file?
Use the resource_show tool with the Resource UUID. It will return the metadata including the URL where the file is hosted.
How does LlamaIndex connect to MCP servers?
Use the MCP client adapter to create a connection. LlamaIndex discovers all tools and wraps them as query engine tools compatible with any LlamaIndex agent.
Can I combine MCP tools with vector stores?
Yes. LlamaIndex agents can query OpenDataSUS tools and vector store indexes in the same turn, combining real-time and embedded data for grounded responses.
Does LlamaIndex support async MCP calls?
Yes. LlamaIndex's async agent framework supports concurrent MCP tool calls for high-throughput data processing pipelines.
