soapnoteapi-mcp

# soapnoteapi-mcp

A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP) server for **[SOAPNoteAPI](https://www.soapnoteapi.com)**. 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.

## Tools

| Tool | What it does | API |
|------|--------------|-----|
| `list_specialties` | List supported specialties (no key needed) | `GET /v1/specialties` |
| `generate_soap_note` | Transcript → SOAP note (+ optional billing codes, patient summary) | `POST /v1/note` |
| `get_note` | Fetch a note by `noteId` | `GET /v1/note/{id}` |
| `summarize_visits` | Consolidate visits into a longitudinal summary | `POST /v1/visit-summary` |
| `transcribe_audio_to_soap` | Local audio file → SOAP note (waits for async jobs) | `PUT /v1/note/audio` |
| `get_audio_status` | Poll an async audio job | `GET /v1/audio/status/{id}` |

## Setup
