Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Apple Health MCP Server when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Primary tools included: Apple Health XML import and parsing, Natural-language record search and filtering, Type-based health record extraction.
An MCP server that provides access to exported data from Apple Health. Data analytics included.
A DICOMweb MCP server that exposes a DICOMweb-compliant DICOM archive to AI assistants, enabling search of studies, series and instances, metadata inspection, structured report reading, encapsulated PDF text extraction, and frame rendering.
Searches DICOM studies on the configured DICOMweb server. Results are sorted by study date, newest first.
find-series
Searches DICOM series within a single study. Results are sorted by series date, newest first.
find-instances
Searches DICOM instances within a single series. Results are sorted by Instance Number ascending.
find-encapsulated-pdf-reports
Finds all Encapsulated PDF instances in a study by looking for DOC-modality series and filtering by the Encapsulated PDF SOP Class UID (`1.2.840.10008.5.1.4.1.1.104.1`).
get-encapsulated-pdf-report-text
Retrieves an Encapsulated PDF DICOM instance and extracts its text content.
find-structured-reports
Finds all Structured Report (SR) instances in a study by looking for SR-modality series and filtering by known SR SOP Class UIDs.
get-structured-report-text
Retrieves a Structured Report instance and converts it to human-readable text.
get-instance-metadata
Retrieves and formats all DICOM attributes of a single instance as human-readable text. Does not retrieve pixel data.
render-instance-frame
Renders a specific frame from a DICOM instance and returns it as an inline image (JPEG or PNG).
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).
Apple Health MCP Server is categorized under Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Dicomweb MCP Server belongs to Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics using local stdio subprocess. Select Apple Health MCP Server when you need capabilities focused on biology, medicine and bioinformatics and Dicomweb MCP Server when you require tools for biology, medicine and bioinformatics.
