HealthChain Overview

healthchainai/HealthChain MCP server exposes typed and validated FHIR capabilities for healthcare AI agents. It supports building, reading, validating, and coding FHIR resources from patient bundles, along with terminology lookup and machine-readable validation reports. The underlying Python project can connect to live FHIR APIs and serve its toolkit to Claude over MCP. Reach for it when an agent needs to work with clinical data while preserving FHIR structure and validation.
