Show HN: MCP server for ICD-10 and SNOMED clinical coding
Hi HN,
I built an MCP server that exposes an API for automated clinical coding.
Repo: https://github.com/fcggamou/autoicd-mcp
It allows AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to convert clinical text into structured medical codes like ICD-10 and SNOMED-CT.
Example use cases:
• coding diagnoses from clinical notes • extracting structured codes from medical documentation • integrating medical coding into LLM workflows • healthcare data pipelines
Example prompt with an MCP-enabled assistant:
“Convert this clinical note into ICD-10 codes”
The server then calls the AutoICD API and returns structured codes.
The goal is to make it easy to plug medical coding into AI agents and tools.
Would love feedback from anyone working on healthcare AI, medical NLP, or MCP tooling.
