Tools

Tool	Description
search_datasets	Search HealthData.gov for public health datasets by keyword (e.g., "COVID hospitalizations", "Medicare spending", "opioid prescriptions"). Returns dataset titles, descriptions, organizations, and resource links.
get_dataset	Get full metadata for a HealthData.gov dataset by its package ID. Returns title, description, organization, resources (CSV/JSON download links), update frequency, and tags.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "healthdata": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/healthdata/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Healthdata data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
