Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Fhir MCP Server Tools (13)

get_capabilities

Retrieves metadata about a specified FHIR resource type, including its supported search parameters and custom operations.

type

The FHIR resource type name (e.g., "Patient", "Observation", "Encounter")

Executes a standard FHIR search interaction on a given resource type, returning a bundle or list of matching resources.

searchParam

A mapping of FHIR search parameter names to their desired values (e.g., {"family":"Simpson","birthdate":"1956-05-12"}).

response_filter_fhirpaths

(Optional) An array of FHIRPath expressions (e.g., `["Patient.name", "Patient.birthDate", "Bundle.link.where(relation='next').url"]`) to apply to the resources in the response bundle.
