An MCP Server for Google Cloud Healthcare API (FHIR)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides healthcare tools for interacting with FHIR resources on Google Cloud Healthcare API and public medical research APIs like pubmed, using MCP clients like Claude and Goose.

This is a slightly modified version for AgentCare MCP Server for EHRs. https://github.com/Kartha-AI/agentcare-mcp

The maion differnce is that this repo talks to Google Cloud Healthcare FHIR APIs thru a SmartonFHIR gateway that's secured by Firebase Auth.

Installing via Smithery

To install google-cloud-healthcare-api-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @Kartha-AI/google-cloud-healthcare-api-mcp --client claude

Start MCP Server Locally with MCP Inspector

git clone git@github.com:Kartha-AI/google-cloud-healthcare-api-mcp.git
cd google-cloud-healthcare-api-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
mcp-inspector  build/index.js
http://localhost:5173
Set up the env vars on Inspector

Troubleshooting:

If Claude desktop is running it uses port 3456 for Auth. You need to terminate that process using the following command:

kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:3456)
