Connect WHO Global Health Observatory to Copilot Studio
Query WHO Global Health Observatory directly from Copilot Studio. Arlet links the two through one MCP connection and takes care of API keys.
Connects your AI client to the WHO Global Health Observatory OData API (ghoapi.azureedge.net), the official statistics service of the World Health Organization covering all 194 Member States.
Tools:
- search_indicators: keyword search over indicator names; returns indicator codes.
- get_indicator_data: values of one indicator filtered by ISO3 country / WHO region codes, year range and first disaggregation (e.g. SEX_BTSX), with numeric value and uncertainty interval.
- list_countries: ISO3 codes with WHO region, filterable by name or region.
- list_dimension_values: codes of a disaggregation dimension (SEX, AGEGROUP, REGION, ...), or the list of dimensions.
Data is provided under WHO's data terms: free use with attribution to WHO and the countries that supplied the underlying data (non-commercial public-health use per the WHO Data Policy). Every response carries the source and the attribution format.
