Overview

What is FHIR MCP Server by CData?

FHIR MCP Server by CData is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the CData JDBC Driver for FHIR to expose FHIR data as relational SQL models. It allows large language models (LLMs) like Claude Desktop to query live FHIR data using natural language, without requiring SQL.

How to use FHIR MCP Server by CData?

Clone the repository, build with mvn clean install, download and license the CData JDBC Driver for FHIR, then create a .prp file with your JDBC connection string. Configure Claude Desktop or another MCP client to launch the JAR with the .prp file as an argument. The server runs using stdio transport, so it must be on the same machine as the client.
