Overview

## What Demographic and Health Surveys does

The DHS Program has run nationally representative household surveys in more than ninety countries, and its indicator data underpins a large share of global health statistics. This connector, published by ICF, queries the public aggregate indicator API: fertility, mortality, maternal and child health, nutrition and family planning, with breakdowns by sex, age, urban or rural residence and wealth. No individual survey records are exposed, and microdata access still runs through the DHS registration process rather than through this connection. Results carry citation detail identifying the survey, country and year. Fourteen tools are declared and the endpoint requires credentials.

### Who it is for

Global health researchers and policy analysts working with survey indicators.

### Tool surface

Fourteen tools front a public indicator API yet the MCP endpoint still answers 401, so the breakdown between indicator lookup, country listing and disaggregation cannot be examined here.

Availability

## Where Demographic and Health Surveys is listed

Demographic and Health Surveys is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. ICF has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.

The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.

Claude listing

## In the Claude connectors directory

Demographic and Health Surveys publishes 14 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 56.6% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.

The median Claude-listed connector filed under Healthcare & Life Sciences publishes 6, so this one runs 8 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 6th of 51 by tool count.

It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory.

Demographic and Health Surveys publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.

Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

Demographic and Health Surveys carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.

In the publisher's words

## How ICF describes it

> 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).

This is an independent catalogue entry compiled by Node8 from Demographic and Health Surveys's public marketplace listing as it stood in August 2026. Listing facts come from the marketplaces; the comparisons against the rest of the directory and any live-endpoint measurements are Node8's. Node8 is not affiliated with ICF, and inclusion here is not an endorsement.
