The Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) Program spans more than 90 countries and 450+ nationally representative household surveys on population, health, and nutrition. This MCP enables AI tools to query the DHS Program's public aggregate-indicator API to answer questions on fertility, mortality, maternal and child health, nutrition, family planning, and more. Results can be disaggregated by sex, age, residence, and wealth. No individual-level survey records are exposed; microdata access remains governed by DHS's existing registration flow. All results include appropriate citation (survey, country, year). You can use Demographic and Health Surveys to: Example Use Case 1: "For any DHS Program data this session, always retrieve via the Demographic and Health Surveys MCP — discover with the list tools first, never paraphrase figures from memory, and cite country + survey year on every number." Country health profile (single-country, multi-indicator synthesis): "Give me a public health dashboard for Mozambique from the most recent DHS: maternal mortality ratio, neonatal mortality, under-5 mortality, modern-contraceptive use among married women, basic vaccination coverage, and child stunting." Cross-country benchmarking at scale: "Compare household electricity access across West African countries." Disaggregated equity analysis: "Is there an urban-rural difference in unmet need for family planning in Senegal?" Survey discovery (workflow front-end): "Show me a list of all DHS Program surveys from the last 10 years." Domain-specific indicator bundling: "Pull a malaria table for Uganda: ITN ownership, IRS coverage, fever care-seeking, parasitemia."
