Example MCP SSE Server Integrated with FHIR Server: Implementing Resource Operations

Details

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is designed to integrate with a FHIR server, exposing FHIR-specific tools via the Model Context Protocol. It serves as a quick demonstration of MCP + FHIR integration, showing how MCP can interact with a FHIR environment. The core functionalities provided are two tools: 'Create FHIR Resource' (accepting ResourceType and ResourceBody) and 'Read FHIR Resource' (accepting ResourceType and ResourceID). The server utilizes the Express web framework. It is important to note that this implementation depends on a supplied authentication token rather than covering full FHIR server OAuth. This setup is useful for quick prototyping, demonstrating how MCP can facilitate basic resource operations—such as creating or reading resources like Patient and Appointment—within a FHIR ecosystem. However, it remains a conceptual demonstration of core functionality rather than a production-ready, fully secured solution.
