What is the Medical Terminologies MCP Server?

Unified MCP server for seven medical terminologies (ICD-11, SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm, MeSH, ATC, CID-10) with authoritative WHO ICD-10→ICD-11 mapping. 37 tools

What it actually does

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

  • 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
