This project is a C#-based MCP server designed for interaction with FHIR servers, specifically targeting developers using FHIR R4 implementations. It supports a range of operations including CRUD, search, and FHIR transactions, and can be used with VS Code and Docker for setup.
MCP Server for FHIR
A C#-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables interaction with FHIR servers. This server is primarily designed for developers working with FHIR R4 implementations.
Demo
This demo highlights some of the MCP server's when combined with Claude client:

Getting Started
Use MCP Server in VS Code
For detailed setup information follow the official documentation.
You can use the configuration file located under . You need to update your path to point to the .csproj in you local machine.
Setting Up Infrastructure
To set up a local FHIR server environment, run:
docker compose up -d --wait
This will start two FHIR servers using Docker Compose:
- HAPI FHIR Server - Comes pre-loaded with sample data
- Azure FHIR Server - Starts with an empty database
