Healthcare MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing AI assistants with access to healthcare data and medical information tools.

Overview

Healthcare MCP Server is a specialized server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide AI assistants with access to healthcare data and medical information tools. It enables AI models to retrieve accurate, up-to-date medical information from authoritative sources.

Features

  • FDA Drug Information: Search and retrieve comprehensive drug information from the FDA database
  • PubMed Research: Search medical literature from PubMed's database of scientific articles
  • Health Topics: Access evidence-based health information from Health.gov
  • Clinical Trials: Search for ongoing and completed clinical trials
  • Medical Terminology: Look up ICD-10 codes and medical terminology definitions
  • Caching: Efficient caching system with connection pooling to reduce API calls and improve performance
  • Usage Tracking: Anonymous usage tracking to monitor API usage
  • Error Handling: Robust error handling and logging
  • Multiple Interfaces: Support for both stdio (for CLI) and HTTP/SSE interfaces
  • API Documentation: Interactive API documentation with Swagger UI
  • Comprehensive Testing: Extensive test suite with pytest and coverage reporting

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install Healthcare Data and Medical Information Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @Cicatriiz/healthcare-mcp-public --client claude

Manual Installation

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Cicatriiz/healthcare-mcp-public.git cd healthcare-mcp-public
  2. Create a virtual environment:

    python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
  3. Install dependencies:

    pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. Set up environment variables (optional):

    # Create .env file from example cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your API keys (optional)
  5. Run the server:

    python run.py

Usage

Running in Different Transport Modes

  • stdio mode (default, for Cline):

    python run.py
  • HTTP/SSE mode (for web clients):

    python run.py --http --port 8000

Testing the Tools

You can test the MCP tools using the new pytest-based test suite:

# Run all tests with pytest and coverage python -m tests.run_tests --pytest # Run a specific test file python -m tests.run_tests --test test_fda_tool.py # Test the HTTP server python -m tests.run_tests --server --port 8000

For backward compatibility, you can still run the old tests:

# Run all tests (old style) python -m tests.run_tests # Test individual tools (old style) python -m tests.run_tests --fda # Test FDA drug lookup python -m tests.run_tests --pubmed # Test PubMed search python -m tests.run_tests --health # Test Health Topics python -m tests.run_tests --trials # Test Clinical Trials search python -m tests.run_tests --icd # Test ICD-10 code lookup
