Aihw Mcp

A local MCP server that lets an assistant query Australian Institute of Health and Welfare statistics in plain English, covering mortality, cancer, health spend

What you can do

Search and list the curated AIHW datasets and describe their filterable dimensions and measures. Query a dataset with filters, measures and a period range, or fetch the latest observation per measure. Rank rows by a measure to get the top or bottom N. Datasets cover national and regional mortality, cancer incidence and mortality, health expenditure, youth justice detention and a public hospitals directory. Every response carries a source URL and attribution for citation.

When to use it

Useful when you need Australian official health data — causes of death over time, regional mortality rates, cancer incidence by age band, hospital spending, youth detention counts or hospital listings — and want an assistant to pull and shape it without manual downloads.

Requirements

Runs locally over stdio as a Python package, launched with uvx or installed with pip, so a Python environment with uv is needed. No accounts, API keys or environment variables are declared. It fetches data from data.gov.au at query time, so network access is required, and it caches results in a local SQLite file under the user's home directory. Desktop client only.
