What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. Instead of copy-pasting clinical text into a web UI, your AI assistant can call the AutoICD API directly: code diagnoses, look up codes, and de-identify PHI without leaving your workflow.

Quick Start

Connect your AI assistant to the AutoICD MCP server. No installation required. Just add the URL and your API key.

MCP Server URL:

https://autoicdapi.com/api/mcp

Authentication is via the Authorization: Bearer sk_... header. See setup instructions for each client below.

Setup

Add the following configuration to your MCP client. Replace sk_your_api_key with your AutoICD API key.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autoicd": {
      "url": "https://autoicdapi.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autoicd": {
      "url": "https://autoicdapi.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "autoicd": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://autoicdapi.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autoicd": {
      "url": "https://autoicdapi.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sk_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

The MCP server exposes four tools that your AI assistant can call. All tools require an API key.

code_diagnosis

Extract medical diagnoses from clinical text and map them to ICD-10-CM codes

Parameters: text, top_k?, include_negated?

Example prompt: "Code this note: Patient presents with acute lower back pain radiating to the left leg. Denies any numbness."

search_codes

Search the ICD-10-CM 2025 code set by keyword or description

Parameters: query, limit?

Example prompt: "Search for ICD-10 codes related to congestive heart failure"

get_code

Get full details for a code: descriptions, synonyms, hierarchy, SNOMED CT & UMLS cross-references

Parameters: code

Example prompt: "Look up ICD-10 code M54.5"

anonymize

De-identify PHI in clinical text: names, dates, SSNs, phone numbers, emails, addresses

Parameters: text

Example prompt: "Remove all patient identifiers from: John Smith (DOB 03/15/1980) was seen at 123 Main St"
