What is the Bag MCP Server?

BAG public-health open data: indicators, programmes, statistics

What it actually does

MCP server for Swiss public health data. Its core is the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (BAG) Infectious Disease Dashboard (IDD) — epidemiological surveillance for 51 pathogens (influenza, COVID-19, measles, wastewater surveillance, and more) — extended with a multi-source health-indicator layer over the Swiss Health Observatory (Obsan), the Versorgungsatlas (health-care supply atlas, with cantonal series) and Sucht Schweiz (HBSC youth survey). All read-only, public Open Government Data.
