Connects Claude to Appendix's physician review service for medical consultations. Exposes three tools: search_knowledge_base for querying medical literature and treatment guidelines, submit_encounter for sending clinical summaries to board-certified doctors for review and prescriptions, and list_conditions for browsing available conditions and medications. You'd use this when building AI health tools that need actual physician oversight rather than just LLM-generated medical advice. The server runs over streamable HTTP at mcp.appendix.com/mcp and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and the Anthropic Messages API. Think of it as turning any AI health conversation into a doctor-reviewed clinical encounter with real prescription authority when needed.
Appendix turns any AI health conversation into a physician-reviewed opinion, with a prescription if you need one.
Your agent writes a medical encounter summary, submits it through our API, and a real doctor signs off.
Use the Appendix MCP server to search medical literature, submit clinical encounters, and receive clinical guidance and prescriptions from board-certified physicians. Learn more at appendix.com.
