IHME GBD holds Global Burden of Disease data on causes of death, disease burden and risk factors. Connect the IHME GBD MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use IHME GBD from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

## How to connect IHME GBD

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to IHME GBD. You sign in to IHME GBD in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use IHME GBD from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if IHME GBD isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the IHME GBD MCP server URL?

Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation publishes it at https://gbdmcp.healthdata.org/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the IHME GBD MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect IHME GBD?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use IHME GBD, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect IHME GBD before I ask?

No. If a request needs IHME GBD and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in IHME GBD?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any IHME GBD tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools IHME GBD adds later stay off until you turn them on.
