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

How Vinkius secures
OpenDataSUS for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the OpenDataSUS MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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 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.
