AutoICD MCP Server

Give AI assistants the power of medical coding — ICD-10-CM diagnosis coding, code search, and PHI de-identification via the AutoICD API.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf to the AutoICD API for automated ICD-10 medical coding.

Why AutoICD API?

Available Tools

code_diagnosis

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

Parameters:

• text (required) — Clinical text to process (progress notes, discharge summaries, etc.)
• top_k (optional, 1-25, default: 5) — Number of top ICD-10 candidates per entity
• include_negated (optional, default: true) — Include negated entities in results

Example prompts:

• "Code this note: Patient presents with acute lower back pain radiating to the left leg. Denies any numbness or tingling."
• "What ICD-10 codes apply to: 65-year-old male with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease stage 3"
• "Code the following discharge summary: Patient admitted for COPD exacerbation with acute respiratory failure. History of CHF and atrial fibrillation."

The tool will extract medical entities, detect negations ("denies numbness"), and return ranked ICD-10 code candidates with confidence scores.

search_codes

Search the ICD-10-CM 2025 code set by description.

Parameters:

• query (required) — Search text to match against code descriptions
• limit (optional, 1-100, default: 20) — Maximum results
• offset (optional, default: 0) — Pagination offset

Example prompts:

• "Search for ICD-10 codes related to congestive heart failure"
• "Find all ICD-10 codes for diabetes"
• "What ICD-10 codes are there for anxiety disorders?"
• "Look up hypertension ICD-10 codes"

get_code

Get comprehensive details for a specific ICD-10-CM code.

Parameters:

• code (required) — ICD-10-CM code (e.g., "E11.9", "I10", "J44.1")

Example prompts:

• "Look up the details for ICD-10 code M54.5"
• "What does ICD-10 code I10 mean?"
• "Is E11.9 a billable code? What are its synonyms?"
• "Show me the SNOMED CT mappings for code J44.1"

Returns descriptions, billable status, SNOMED CT and UMLS synonyms, parent/child hierarchy, and chapter classification.

anonymize

De-identify Protected Health Information (PHI) in clinical text.

Parameters:

• text (required) — Clinical text containing PHI

Example prompts:

• "Remove all patient identifiers from this note: John Smith (DOB 03/15/1980) was seen at 123 Main St..."
• "De-identify this clinical text before I share it: Maria Garcia, MRN 789012, SSN 123-45-6789, diagnosed with pneumonia"

Detects and replaces names, dates, SSNs, phone numbers, emails, addresses, MRNs, and ages with type labels like [NAME], [DATE], [SSN].
