FHIR MCP Server
MCP server providing seamless access to FHIR APIs for AI tools and healthcare applications. Its 6 documented tools cluster into read & search, create & write, update, delete. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting science & health tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install FHIR MCP Server
before you install - you'll need
Set FHIR_SERVER_ACCESS_TOKEN, FHIR_SERVER_BASE_URL, FHIR_SERVER_CLIENT_ID, FHIR_MCP_HOST, FHIR_MCP_PORT before connecting. FHIR_SERVER_CLIENT_SECRET, FHIR_SERVER_SCOPES are optional or environment-specific per the README.
Claude Code
claude mcp add wso2-fhir-mcp-server -- uvx fhir-mcp-serverClaude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"wso2-fhir-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"fhir-mcp-server"
]
}
}
}Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository
pypi package fhir-mcp-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.wso2 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
03 · What FHIR MCP Server can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
With this server connected, an agent can retrieve metadata about a specified FHIR resource type, including its supported search parameters and custom operations, execute a FHIR "create" interaction to persist a new resource of the specified type, and execute a FHIR "delete" interaction on a specific resource instance.

06 · FHIR MCP Server FAQ
Is FHIR MCP Server still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-07-14. We re-verify nightly.
What can FHIR MCP Server do?
With this server connected, an agent can retrieve metadata about a specified FHIR resource type, including its supported search parameters and custom operations, execute a FHIR "create" interaction to persist a new resource of the specified type, and execute a FHIR "delete" interaction on a specific resource instance.
How do I install FHIR MCP Server?
Run `uvx fhir-mcp-server`. The README documents 7 environment variables (FHIR_SERVER_ACCESS_TOKEN, FHIR_SERVER_BASE_URL, FHIR_SERVER_CLIENT_ID…) to set first. Set FHIR_SERVER_ACCESS_TOKEN, FHIR_SERVER_BASE_URL, FHIR_SERVER_CLIENT_ID, FHIR_MCP_HOST, FHIR_MCP_PORT before connecting. FHIR_SERVER_CLIENT_SECRET, FHIR_SERVER_SCOPES are optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does FHIR MCP Server run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
