soapnoteapi-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SOAPNoteAPI. It lets AI agents (Claude Desktop/Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code + Copilot, etc.) turn clinical transcripts or audio recordings into structured SOAP notes, ICD-10/CPT billing-code suggestions, patient summaries, and visit summaries.
⚕️ All clinical content and billing codes are AI-generated decision support and must be reviewed by a qualified clinician/coder before use. HIPAA: this server only transits PHI to the API over TLS and never logs note content.
