mcp-fhir

The mcp-fhir server is a Model Context Protocol server designed specifically for the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) API. This server allows you to effectively manage and exchange healthcare data using the FHIR standard, making it easier for developers to integrate healthcare applications with robust contextual data support.

Once connected to the mcp-fhir server, you can interact with it through standard FHIR API queries. You can perform operations such as retrieving patient data, managing observations, and updating healthcare information. Utilizing the RESTful API endpoints, you can effectively fetch and manipulate resources to suit your application's needs.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine, as it is required to run the mcp-fhir server.

Option A: Quick Start with npx

You can quickly start using the mcp-fhir server with the following command:

npx -y mcp-fhir

Option B: Global Install Alternative

If you prefer a global installation, you can clone the repository and install it manually:

git clone https://github.com/kaustubhn/mcp-fhir-server.git
cd mcp-fhir-server
npm install

After installation, start the server with:

npm start

For optimal performance, consider configuring your environment variables to suit your healthcare application's specific requirements. Pay attention to the server's default settings, as they may require adjustments based on your deployment environment. Additionally, be aware of potential CORS issues when connecting from browser-based applications.
