DICOMweb MCP Server

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)][mcp-url] server that exposes a DICOMweb-compliant DICOM archive to AI assistants. It lets any MCP-capable client search studies, series and instances, inspect metadata, read Structured and Encapsulated PDF Reports, and render image frames - all through natural language. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
