Medical Terminologies MCP Tools (33)
icd11_search
Search for medical conditions, diseases, and health problems in ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision).
Use this tool to:
- Find ICD-11 codes for diagnoses
- Search for diseases by name or keyword
- Look up conditions in multiple languages
Set `language` for WHO's official translations — e.g. `language: "pt"` searches and returns the official Portuguese (pt-BR) ICD-11 labels. Never machine-translated.
Returns matching entities with codes, titles, and relevance scores.
icd11_lookup
Get detailed information about a specific ICD-11 entity by code or URI.
Use this tool to:
- Get the full definition of a disease
- Retrieve coding notes and exclusions
- Get the official title and synonyms
Provide either an ICD-11 code (e.g., "BA00") or a full foundation URI. Set `language` for WHO's official translations (e.g. `language: "pt"` for official Portuguese).
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Glp1search is categorized under Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Medical Terminologies MCP belongs to Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics using local stdio subprocess. Select Glp1search when you need capabilities focused on biology, medicine and bioinformatics and Medical Terminologies MCP when you require tools for biology, medicine and bioinformatics.
Navigate the ICD-11 hierarchy to find parent or child entities.
Use this tool to:
- Find broader categories (parents) of a condition
- Find specific subtypes (children) of a condition
- Understand the classification structure
Name the entity by `code` (a leaf code like "5A11", or a block range like "5A10-5A2Y" — blocks come back from 'parents' with an empty code and a code_range) or by `uri` (the URI any previous answer returned). Direction 'parents' returns ancestor categories, 'children' returns subcategories. ICD-10 codes (like "E11") are not ICD-11 codes: convert them first with map_icd10_to_icd11.
icd11_chapters
List all ICD-11 chapters (top-level categories).
Use this tool to:
- Get an overview of ICD-11 structure
- Find which chapter covers a body system or condition type
- Navigate to specific disease categories
ICD-11 has 28 chapters covering all areas of medicine.
icd11_postcoordination
Get postcoordination information for an ICD-11 code.
Use this tool to:
- Find available axes for building composite codes
- Check required vs optional postcoordination
- Understand code extension possibilities
Postcoordination allows adding severity, laterality, anatomy, etc.
loinc_search
Search for laboratory tests, clinical observations, and measurements in LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes).
Use this tool to:
- Find LOINC codes for lab tests (e.g., "glucose", "hemoglobin")
- Search for clinical measurements and vital signs
- Look up diagnostic observations
Returns matching LOINC codes with names, components, and properties.
loinc_details
Get detailed information about a specific LOINC code.
Use this tool to:
- Get the full name and description of a LOINC code
- Find the component, property, timing, and system
- Check the scale type and method
Provide a LOINC number in format "XXXXX-X" (e.g., "2339-0" for Glucose).
loinc_answers
Get the list of valid answers for a LOINC questionnaire item.
Use this tool to:
- Find valid response options for survey questions
- Get answer codes for data entry validation
- Look up standardized answer lists
Only applicable to LOINC codes that represent questions with defined answer sets.
loinc_panels
Get the structure of a LOINC panel or form.
Use this tool to:
- See all tests included in a panel (e.g., CBC, metabolic panel)
- Get the structure of assessment forms
- Find related observations grouped together
Returns the list of LOINC codes that make up the panel.
rxnorm_search
Search for drugs in RxNorm (Normalized names for clinical drugs).
Use this tool to:
- Find drug concepts by brand or generic name
- Look up medications for prescribing
- Search for drug formulations
Returns matching drugs with RxCUI identifiers, names, and term types.
rxnorm_concept
Get detailed information about a specific RxNorm concept by RxCUI.
Use this tool to:
- Get the full name and synonyms for a drug
- Check the concept status (active, remapped, etc.)
- View related concepts (ingredients, brands, forms)
Provide an RxCUI (RxNorm Concept Unique Identifier) like "161".
rxnorm_ingredients
Get active ingredients for a drug by RxCUI.
Use this tool to:
- Find the active ingredients in a medication
- Check for single vs. multiple ingredient products
- Identify the generic components of brand drugs
Returns ingredient RxCUIs and names.
