README

Medical Terminologies MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing unified access to major global medical terminologies:

ICD-11 - International Classification of Diseases (WHO)
SNOMED CT - Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine (opt-in; requires self-hosted Snowstorm)
LOINC - Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes
RxNorm - Normalized names for clinical drugs (NIH)
MeSH - Medical Subject Headings (NLM)
ATC - Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical classification (WHO Collaborating Centre, served via NLM RxClass)
CID-10 - Brazilian Portuguese translation of ICD-10 (DataSUS V2008, bundled)

See it in action

Ask your assistant:

"What's the ICD-11 code for type 2 diabetes?" → icd11_search
"Map ICD-10 code E11 to ICD-11." → map_icd10_to_icd11
"What does LOINC 2339-0 measure?" → loinc_details
"Qual o código CID-10 para infarto agudo do miocárdio?" → cid10_search

The answers come from authoritative sources (WHO, NLM, NIH, DataSUS) — real codes and mappings, not guesses from training data.

Features

31 default tools (37 with SNOMED enabled) for medical terminology lookup
3 MCP Prompts that orchestrate tool calls into named workflows (find-medical-code, drug-info, cid10-portuguese-lookup) — clients render these as one-click user actions
4 MCP Resources for in-process reference content (info://server, info://cid10/chapters, info://licenses, info://stats) — sub-millisecond reads (except info://stats which round-trips to the StatsCounter Durable Object on the hosted endpoint)
Multi-terminology support in a single server
Cross-terminology mapping and search
Built-in caching for improved performance
Rate limiting to respect API limits
Detailed responses with rich formatting
Two transports: stdio (default; for Claude Desktop, IDE clients) and Streamable HTTP (for hosted deployments — runs on Cloudflare Workers at the edge by default, Smithery URL submission, or self-hosted Docker)

Who is this for?
