MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through WHO.

01
Get who indicator data
This capability retrieves specific country-level health data for a chosen indicator. It provides values by year and includes sex-disaggregated data when the WHO has it available.
02
Search who indicators
This capability searches the WHO database for specific health indicator codes. You use it to find the right ID before pulling actual data.
03
Get who country profile
This capability generates a quick health snapshot for any country using its ISO-3 code. It pulls key metrics like life expectancy and child mortality in one go.

Real work

What teams actually run

Epidemiological Research

An agent pulls tuberculosis incidence rates across multiple countries to identify emerging hotspots.

Policy Comparison

A researcher compares life expectancy and obesity rates between two nations to evaluate health interventions.

SDG Tracking

Development agencies use the agent to monitor progress on global health targets using official WHO metrics.

Rapid Country Briefings

A professional requests a health snapshot for a specific country to prepare for an international meeting.

Automate a task

Put WHO to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

WHO works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put WHO to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of WHO, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with WHO. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
