Patient Search & Create Tasks MCP Server

This project provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for searching patients in the Flight Health Atlas system and creating a new task.

Features

• V2 Server (server-v2.ts): Uses Puppeteer for advanced web automation and more reliable login handling

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher
• npm or yarn package manager

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>
cd patient-search-mcp

2. Install dependencies:

npm install

3. Update Credentials Go to auth.ts and replace the email and password in LOGIN_CREDENTIALS with your credentials. For demo purposes these are hardcoded since by default Cursor AI cannot access a .env file (possible to work around this by creating a .cursorignore file and adding !.env to it).

4. Build the servers:

npm build:v2      # only build the V2 server
npm run start     # Build and start V2 server

Configuration

For Cursor MCP

Add the following to your Cursor mcp.json file (found through Cursor Settings):

V2 Server (Recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patient-search-v2": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-search-and-create-task/dist/server-v2.js"]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Available Tools

Both servers provide the following tools:

hello_world

• Description: Test MCP connection
• Parameters:
  • name (optional): Name to greet

search_patient_v2 (V2 Server)

• Description: Search for patients using Puppeteer web automation
• Parameters:
  • patient_name (required): Name of the patient to search for
  • detailed (optional): Whether to return detailed information

create_new_task (V2 Server)

• Description: Create a new task
• Parameters:
  • task_type (required): Type of the task to create
  • task_name (required): Name of the task to create
  • description (optional): Any description you want to add to the task

Example Usage

// Test connection
await callTool("hello_world", { name: "Aakarsh" });

// Search for a patient (V2 server)
await callTool("search_patient_v2", { 
  patient_name: "John Smith",
  detailed: true 
});

Development

Running in Development Mode

npm run dev

### Starting the Server

```bash
# Latest server
npm start

### Testing

You can test the servers directly using JSON-RPC messages:

```bash
# Test V2 server initialization
echo '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": {"protocolVersion": "2024-11-05", "capabilities": {}, "clientInfo": {"name": "test", "version": "1.0.0"}}}' | node dist/server-v2.js

I have also created a sample test file to test task creation called test-task-creation. You can run the test through the command node dist/test-task-creation.js once you have built the server.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Browser launch fails (V2 server):

   • Ensure you have sufficient system resources
   • Try running with --no-sandbox flag (already included)

2. Login fails:

   • Verify credentials are correct
   • Check if the Atlas staging site is accessible
   • Ensure network connectivity

3. Patient search returns no results:

   • Verify the patient name spelling
   • Check if you're logged into the correct environment
   • Try with a partial name match

Debug Mode

Both servers log debug information to stderr. Monitor the console output for detailed error messages. Additionally if you need to clear the /dist folder you can run npm run clean.

Dependencies

• @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: MCP TypeScript SDK
