get_preventive_recommendationsPREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what health screenings / preventive services / checkups should a <age>-year-old <man/woman> get", "recommended screenings for age X", "when should I get screened for colorectal/breast/etc.". Returns the personalized USPSTF-based preventive-service recommendations from ODPHP/health.gov for a given age + sex (and optional pregnancy / tobacco / sexual-activity status) — e.g. age 50 male → colorectal cancer screening, blood pressure, HIV, vaccines. Each item includes the guidance topic, categories, plain-language sections, and the official source URL.search_health_topicsFull-text search ODPHP/health.gov health topics by keyword (e.g. "colorectal", "diabetes", "blood pressure"). Returns matching topics with id, title, categories, and source URL. Use get_health_topic with an id for the full guidance.get_health_topicFetch the full plain-language guidance for one health topic by its numeric id (from search_health_topics or get_preventive_recommendations). Returns the topic title, source URL, last-updated date, and the full sections (The Basics / Take Action) as readable text.list_health_topicsBrowse the ODPHP/health.gov catalog — list all health topics or all categories (Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Health, Screening Tests, …). Use to discover what guidance exists before searching.

Frequently asked questions
Medplum MCP is categorized under Biology & Bioinformatics and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. Myhealthfinder belongs to Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Medplum MCP for biology & bioinformatics work and Myhealthfinder 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.
