MCP Server for FHIR Integration: Demonstrating Resource Operations
Example MCP SSE Server intgrated with FHIR Server MCP.so To
An MCP SSE Server was integrated with an FHIR Server to enable reading and creating FHIR resources.
Summary
An implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integrates with a FHIR server, providing tools to create and read specific medical resources (such as Patient or Appointment). This serves as a quick prototyping example demonstrating MCP and FHIR integration.
Details
This page is a technical guide detailing an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, specifically focusing on its integration with a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) server. The server exposes FHIR-specific tools via MCP, enabling operations like creating (Create FHIR Resource) and reading (Read FHIR Resource) medical resources (e.g., Patient or Appointment). A key limitation noted is that this demo version does not handle OAuth authentication but relies on a supplied auth token. This model demonstrates how MCP can interact with a FHIR server, serving as a practical example for rapid prototyping. Technically, it utilizes the Express web framework and depends on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. In Japanese healthcare IT, this concept is relevant as it shows a potential pattern for making standardized data exchange protocols (FHIR) actionable or controllable by AI or external systems via an intermediary layer like MCP. It is explicitly stated that this server is merely a 'quick demonstration' and caution is advised for full-scale deployment.
