Introduction to 'Agent Care' MCP Server for EMR Interoperability

Details

This article introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, 'Agent Care,' designed for use within AI environments such as Claude Desktop or Goose Desktop. This tool integrates with major Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems like Cerner and Epic, enabling interaction with FHIR data and medical resources. The key features include EMR integration using the SMART on FHIR API, authentication via OAuth2, and integration with Anthropic/Claude Desktop. It also supports access to medical research data from sources such as PubMed, Clinical Trials, and FDA, facilitating comprehensive clinical analysis. A suite of available FHIR tools includes functions for retrieving diverse clinical information, such as patient search (find_patient), vital signs, lab results, medication history, and allergy information. The documentation provides detailed setup instructions for both Cerner and Epic platforms, including necessary API key configurations, serving as a technical implementation guide.
