Dicom MCP Overview

ChristianHinge/dicom-mcp MCP server connects AI assistants to DICOM-compliant systems such as PACS and VNA platforms. It provides metadata searches for patients, studies, series, and instances, can extract text from encapsulated PDF objects, and can send studies or series to configured destinations with C-MOVE. Use it for locally hosted imaging workflows that need report retrieval or controlled transfer to another DICOM node. The project warns against connecting it to live hospital databases or patient-sensitive production data.
