What is OpenEvidence MCP?
OpenEvidence MCP is an unofficial Model Context Protocol server that bridges OpenEvidence to MCP clients (Codex CLI, Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, Cline, Continue). It uses your own browser session via Playwright storage state to enable clinical evidence workflows from AI assistants, since OpenEvidence lacks a public API token flow.
How to use OpenEvidence MCP?
Provide a captured Playwright storage state from your authenticated OpenEvidence browser session, then configure your MCP client to invoke the server. Use the provided tools (oe_auth_status, oe_history_list, oe_article_get, oe_ask) in your AI coding assistant.
