FHIR-Compliant MCP Server for Google Cloud Healthcare API
Servidor MCP para Google Cloud Healthcare API (FHIR) - LobeHub
Summary
This article describes the use of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This server provides various healthcare tools by interacting with FHIR resources on Google Cloud Healthcare API and public medical research APIs like PubMed.
Details
The provided MCP server is slightly modified for Agent Care, accessing Google Cloud Healthcare FHIR APIs through a SmartonFHIR gateway secured by Firebase Auth. Using this server allows the retrieval of diverse information regarding patient identifiers (name, DOB), clinical data (vital signs, allergies, medication history, lab results, conditions, encounters, procedures, etc.). The main tools include `find_patient` for searching patients, retrieving vital signs via `get_vital_signs`, obtaining lab results with `get_lab_results`, and incorporating medical research tools like `search-pubmed` and `search-trials`. These tools are accessible through MCP clients such as LLMs (Large Language Models), supporting advanced clinical query execution. However, utilizing this server requires setting multiple environment variables for Firebase authentication (e.g., FIREBASE_API_KEY) and various API keys necessary for accessing different APIs (PUBMED_API_KEY, CLINICAL_TRIALS_API_KEY). This establishes a technical foundation enabling advanced medical data integration and the automation of clinical workflows by AI agents.
