A side-by-side look at the Fl Medical Exclusions and Appendix MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Fl Medical Exclusions for biology & bioinformatics work as a local process; choose Appendix for biology & bioinformatics over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
API_BASE_URL, PORT.search_knowledge_base, submit_encounter, list_conditions.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
