02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package dicom-hl7-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.NyxToolsDev is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What DICOM/HL7/FHIR Interoperability MCP Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can generate realistic sample HL7 messages for testing, search for studies/series by patient, date, modality, accession, retrieve detailed study/series metadata from PACS, and query a study + auto-map through DICOM→HL7→FHIR with generated ORM.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what DICOM/HL7/FHIR Interoperability MCP Server lets an agent do.
