Healthcare & Medical MCP Servers — FHIR, PubMed, Clinical Trials, DICOM, Drug Databases, and More

At a glance: 30+ servers across 6 subcategories. No official Epic/Cerner servers yet. Rating: 4/5.

FHIR / EHR Integration

  • wso2/fhir-mcp-server (98 stars, Python, Apache-2.0) — Expose any FHIR server as MCP. Full CRUD, SMART-on-FHIR auth, stdio/SSE/HTTP.
  • health-record-mcp (75 stars, TypeScript) — Innovative: grep, SQL, and JavaScript query tools over EHR data.
  • the-momentum/fhir-mcp-server (68 stars, Python) — 11 tools with Pinecone vector search for clinical documents.
  • AWS HealthLake MCP (part of awslabs/mcp 8.5k stars) — 11 tools, automatic datastore discovery, read-only mode, 96% test coverage.
  • langcare-mcp-fhir (15 stars, Go) — Enterprise EHR proxy for Epic/Cerner/GCP. TLS 1.3, PHI scrubbing, 40+ clinical skills library.
  • medplum-mcp (14 stars, TypeScript) — 33 tools, most tool-rich FHIR server.

Medical Research

  • PubMed-MCP-Server (104 stars, Python) — Most starred research MCP. Search, metadata, PDF download, deep paper analysis.
  • clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server (58 stars, TypeScript) — 7 tools: trend analysis, patient-to-trial matching, study comparison. 92% test coverage.
  • medical-mcps (14 stars, Python) — 100+ tools across 14 biomedical APIs: PubMed, OpenFDA, KEGG, UniProt, GWAS, ChEMBL, and more.

Healthcare Hubs

  • healthcare-mcp-public (101 stars, JavaScript) — 9 tools: FDA drugs, PubMed, clinical trials, ICD-10, DICOM, medical calculator.
  • medical-mcp (75 stars, TypeScript) — 15 tools across FDA/WHO/PubMed/RxNorm. Zero API keys needed.

Medical Imaging

dicom-mcp (86 stars, Python) — 11 tools for DICOM/PACS: query patients/studies/series, move data between nodes, extract PDF reports.

Drug & Pharmacology

  • drugbank-mcp-server — 17,430+ drugs, interactions, pathways, structure search via SQLite
  • nlm-codes-mcp — ICD-10/ICD-11/HCPCS/LOINC/RxTerms via NLM Clinical Tables API

What's Missing

  • No official EHR vendor servers (Epic, Cerner)
  • Imaging limited to DICOM metadata, no image analysis
  • Genomics nearly absent
  • HIPAA compliance documentation spotty across most projects

The Bottom Line

Every major healthcare data domain covered. FHIR has genuine competition (6+ implementations). Research servers are production-ready. Vendor participation strong (AWS, WSO2, Innovaccer, LangCare). Held back by no official EHR vendor servers, imaging stops at metadata, and compliance documentation gaps.

Rating: 4/5
