Example MCP SSE Server Integrated with FHIR Server
Example MCP SSE Server intgrated with FHIR Server - MCP.so
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation was developed to integrate with a FHIR Server.
Summary
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server has been released as a sample integration with a FHIR server. This allows developers to demonstrate specific operations, such as creating and reading FHIR resources (e.g., Patient or Appointment), via the MCP framework.
Details
This article introduces a demonstration server that utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to showcase its integration capabilities with a FHIR server. The core function is demonstrating how MCP can expose FHIR-specific tool definitions, providing two main tools: 'Create FHIR Resource' and 'Read FHIR Resource'. Technically, it relies on the Express web framework and the @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. While tested with common resources like Patient and Appointment, the implementation is noted to be a quick prototype that does not cover full FHIR server OAuth; instead, it depends on a supplied authentication token. This example is highly relevant for developers looking to quickly prototype how model context layers can interact with standard healthcare data exchange standards (FHIR). It provides foundational knowledge on applying the MCP layer over established systems like FHIR, although users should note that this demo is not intended for production-grade OAuth or full operational environments.
