[](https://smithery.ai/server/@Cicatriiz/healthcare-mcp-public) A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing AI assistants with access to healthcare data and medical information tools.
Overview
Healthcare MCP Server is a specialized Node.js server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide AI assistants with access to healthcare data and medical information tools. It enables AI models to retrieve accurate, up-to-date medical information from authoritative sources. This repository provides a single DXT package containing the complete Node.js implementation.
DXT Extension
This repository includes a packaged DXT (Desktop Extension) file for easy installation in compatible development environments. Download healthcare-mcp.dxt for one-click installation.
Features
- FDA Drug Information: Search and retrieve comprehensive drug information from the FDA database (improved response parsing)
- PubMed Research: Search medical literature from PubMed's database of scientific articles
- Health Topics: Access evidence-based health information from Health.gov (updated to API v4)
- Clinical Trials: Search for ongoing and completed clinical trials (updated API parameters)
- Medical Terminology: Look up ICD-10 codes and medical terminology definitions
- medRxiv Search: Search for pre-print articles on medRxiv
- Medical Calculator: Calculate Body Mass Index (BMI)
- NCBI Bookshelf Search: Search the NCBI Bookshelf for biomedical books and documents
- DICOM Metadata Extraction: Extract metadata from a DICOM file
- Caching: Efficient caching system with connection pooling to reduce API calls and improve performance
- Usage Tracking: Anonymous usage tracking to monitor API usage
- Error Handling: Robust error handling and logging
- Multiple Interfaces: Support for both stdio (for CLI) and HTTP/SSE inter

Questions
What is the Healthcare MCP server?
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing AI assistants with access to healthcare data and medical information tools, including FDA drug info, PubMed, medRxiv, NCBI Bookshelf, clinical trials, ICD-10, DICOM metadata, and a medical calculator.
What tools does Healthcare expose?
11 in total: 11 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Healthcare safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Healthcare need?
It reads FDA_API_KEY, NCBI_API_KEY and PUBMED_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Healthcare run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as healthcare-mcp-nodejs at 2.1.1.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (f45167416319), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
