Frequently asked questions
Health Statistics is categorized under Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Swahili Health MCP belongs to Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Health Statistics for biology & bioinformatics work and Swahili Health MCP for biology & bioinformatics.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Health Statistics is listed as freemium — a free tier with paid plans. Auth: no auth required. Swahili Health MCP has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add health-statistics and swahili-health-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
