Inbody API MCP vs Medplum MCP
A side-by-side look at the Inbody API MCP and Medplum MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Inbody API MCP for biology & bioinformatics work as a local process; choose Medplum MCP for biology & bioinformatics. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Frequently asked questions
Inbody API MCP is categorized under Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Medplum MCP belongs to Biology & Bioinformatics and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. Pick Inbody API MCP for biology & bioinformatics work and Medplum MCP for biology & bioinformatics.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client. Medplum MCP has no confirmed install command yet — follow its own setup instructions.
Inbody API MCP has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Medplum MCP has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add inbody-api-mcp and mcp-112 as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
