  CDC ships NO MCP server. Searched the CDCgov GitHub org (repository search for `mcp` returned
  0 repositories on 2026-09-05), the npm registry, and the web; nothing first-party exists. Two
  relevant third-party efforts do — a U.S. Digital Corps pilot that wrapped CDC PLACES data in an
  MCP server, and `@cyanheads/cdc-health-mcp-server` on npm — but neither is published, operated
  or endorsed by CDC, so neither is recorded as a CDC surface. The tools below are a CANDIDATE
  list derived from operations CDC does publish; no endpoint is asserted, because none exists.
