A remote MCP server that gives an assistant read-only access to CDC PLACES county and census-tract health estimates, measures and county comparisons.
What you can do
Look up all CDC PLACES health measures for a county by its 5-digit FIPS code, covering outcomes, behaviors, preventive services and health status indicators. Retrieve tract-level estimates for an 11-digit census tract FIPS code. Pull one measure across all counties in a state for comparison. Search available measures by keyword or category to find the right measure ID. Compare selected measures side by side across up to 10 counties.
When to use it
Useful for public-health research, community health assessments, grant or policy analysis, and benchmarking one county against peers using official CDC small-area estimates.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Read-only data retrieval; no writes, payments or credentials are requested. Tract-level figures use small area estimation and may have wider confidence intervals than county data, so treat them as estimates.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Use with an agent
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.olyport%2Fcdc-places/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.
Get all CDC PLACES health measures for a county.
Returns up to 36 measures including health outcomes (diabetes, obesity,
heart disease, etc.), health behaviors (smoking, binge drinking), preventive
services (checkups, screenings), and health status indicators.
Args:
county_fips: 5-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '53033' for King County, WA).
Must be a string, not an integer.
year: Optional release year to filter by. Omit for the most recent data.
Parametersyearcounty_fipsrequired
get_tract_measures
Get all CDC PLACES health measures for a census tract.
Returns tract-level estimates for health outcomes, behaviors, preventive
services, and health status indicators. Tract-level data uses small area
estimation and may have wider confidence intervals than county data.
Args:
tract_fips: 11-digit census tract FIPS code (e.g. '53033005300').
Must be a string, not an integer.
year: Optional release year to filter by. Omit for the most recent data.
Parametersyeartract_fipsrequired
get_measure_by_state
Get one CDC PLACES measure for all counties in a state.
Useful for comparing a specific health metric (e.g. DIABETES, OBESITY)
across all counties within a state. Returns the most recent data year.
Args:
state_abbr: Two-letter state abbreviation (e.g. 'WA', 'CA').
measure_id: PLACES measure ID (e.g. 'DIABETES', 'OBESITY', 'BPHIGH').
Use search_measures to find valid IDs.
Parametersmeasure_idrequiredstate_abbrrequired
search_measures
Search available CDC PLACES measures by name or category.
Returns matching measure IDs, names, and categories. Use this to find
the correct measure_id for other tools.
Categories: Health Outcomes, Health Behaviors, Prevention, Health Status.
Args:
keyword: Search term (e.g. 'diabetes', 'smoking', 'prevention', 'heart').
Parameterskeywordrequired
compare_counties
Compare specific CDC PLACES measures across multiple counties.
Returns a side-by-side comparison of selected health measures for the
given counties. Useful for benchmarking one county against peers.
Args:
fips_list: List of 5-digit county FIPS codes (e.g. ['53033', '53053', '06037']).
Maximum 10 counties per request.
measures: List of PLACES measure IDs to compare (e.g. ['DIABETES', 'OBESITY']).
Maximum 10 measures per request.
