Summer Overview

Summer is an MCP server for telehealth support workflows in Claude, Codex, and Cursor. Its tools cover customer discovery, onboarding policies, provider connections, shared and company knowledge, runtime readiness, GitHub sources, and controlled actions. Most changes use drafts, expected revisions, approvals, or explicit publication steps, making Summer suitable for teams that need auditability and bounded automation. Reach for it when an agent must investigate cases or help administer support operations without directly verifying patients or triggering unapproved customer effects.

Primary Use Cases for Summer:
  • Investigate telehealth customer cases using approved company knowledge and cached GitHub sources
  • Manage onboarding policies and publish reviewed company guidance
  • Check runtime readiness before enabling support capabilities
  • Discover and maintain customer records with source evidence
