Setup
Install Healthcare RAG in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/snikithag/mcp-healthcare
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
The HealthcareRAGTools project is an agentic AI system designed to assist healthcare professionals by leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques. This project integrates a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with a Chroma vector database to log patient symptoms, retrieve similar cases, and search medical documents. It supports interactive queries via a terminal-based client and can also be used within the Cursor IDE’s agent chat interface.
This project enables the following key functionalities:
- Log Patient Symptoms: Logs patient symptoms (e.g., "fever and cough") with severity levels (e.g., "Moderate") and retrieves similar cases from a database for comparison.
- Search Documents: Searches a collection of medical documents (e.g., flu or asthma symptom descriptions) to provide relevant information based on user queries. The system uses the Groq API for natural language processing, with the llama-3.3-70b-versatile model. It is built to support real-time healthcare data management and retrieval, making it a valuable tool for clinical decision support.
The project relies on the following tools and technologies:
Python 3.8+: The primary programming language for scripting and server logic. FastMCP: A modular compute platform framework for building and running agentic systems. LangChain: A library for building context-aware language models and agents. LangChain-Groq: Integration with Groq’s API for advanced language model capabilities. Chroma: An open-source vector database for storing and retrieving embeddings of medical documents and patient data. Sentence-Transformers: Used to generate embeddings for text data in the Chroma database. HTTpx: For handling HTTP requests within the system. Python-Dotenv: Manages environment variables, such as the Groq API key. LangChain-Community: Additional community-supported LangChain tools. Requests: For making HTTP requests to external services. UV: A package and virtual environment manager for dependency management. Cursor IDE: The development environment, with plans to enable agent chat functionality.

To set up the project on your local machine, follow these steps:
Prerequisites Windows 10/11 with Command Prompt. Python 3.8+ installed. UV (Universal Virtual Environment) installed: pip install uv. A Groq API key from console.groq.com. Steps Create and Activate the Virtual Environment: uv venv ragmcp\Scripts\activate Confirm the prompt shows (ragmcp). Install Dependencies: Ensure requirements.txt exists with the listed dependencies: set UV_LINK_MODE=copy uv pip install -r requirements.txt Configure Environment Variables: Create or edit .env with your Groq API key: GROQ_API_KEY=your-groq-api-key Initialize the Database: Run the setup script to populate the Chroma database with sample documents: uv run python setup_db.py Expected output: Vector database initialized with sample medical documents. Running the Project Terminal-Based Client Start the Client: uv run python healthcare_client.py Expected Output: Loading environment variables... Loading config file: C:\Users\sniki\OneDrive\Desktop\mcpserver\ragmcp\healthcare.json Initializing HealthcareRAGTools chat... MCPClient initialized ChatGroq initialized
===== Interactive HealthcareRAGTools Chat ===== Type 'exit' or 'quit' to end the conversation Type 'clear' to clear conversation history Example queries:
- Log symptoms for patient P123: fever and cough, severity Moderate, show similar cases
- Search documents for flu symptoms ==================================
Test a Query: Type: Log symptoms for patient P123: fever and cough, severity Moderate, show similar cases Expected response: Assistant: Symptoms logged for Patient P123: 'fever and cough' (Moderate). Similar cases: None Exit: Type exit or quit.
Copy the json code into File>Preferences>Cursor Settings>MCP/MCP Tools and run the server as follows:
You can use the same queries here as well.
