What is the CDC WONDER (Epidemiologic Data) MCP Server?
Connect to the CDC WONDER (Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research) system to query massive public health databases through natural language.
What you can do
- Mortality Data — Query the D76 (Detailed Mortality) and D77 (Underlying Cause of Death) databases for specific timeframes and regions.
- Birth Statistics — Access the D10 (Natality) database to analyze birth rates and maternal health metrics.
- Vaccine Safety — Query the VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) database for safety monitoring data.
- Structured Queries — Execute complex ad-hoc queries using standard CDC parameters (B_, M_, V_, F_, O_ prefixes) for precise data extraction.
- Epidemiologic Research — Retrieve raw data for analysis in scientific research, public health policy, or educational projects.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your CDC WONDER API Access Token (if required by your proxy) or accept the Data Use Agreement
- Start querying epidemiologic data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Epidemiologists & Researchers — quickly pull mortality and birth statistics without navigating the complex WONDER web interface
- Public Health Officials — monitor health trends and vaccine safety reports directly from an AI assistant
- Data Scientists — fetch structured JSON epidemiologic data for integration into larger analytical workflows
Built-in capabilities (1)
g., D76 for Mortality). Provide the database ID and a JSON object of parameters (B_, M_, V_, F_, O_ prefixes). Query CDC WONDER epidemiologic databases

Frequently asked questions
Which databases can I access using this server?
You can query any database supported by the CDC WONDER API by providing its ID to the query_wonder_database tool. Common IDs include D76 (Detailed Mortality), D10 (Natality), and VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System).
How should I format the parameters for a query?
Parameters should be provided as a JSON object using the standard CDC prefixes: B_ for by-variables, M_ for measures, V_ for values, F_ for filters, and O_ for other options. The query_wonder_database tool handles the XML conversion for you.
Do I need to include the 'accept_datause_restrictions' parameter?
No. The query_wonder_database tool is designed to handle the data use restrictions agreement internally. You only need to provide the specific database ID and the analytical parameters for your search.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
