What is DICOM MCP Server?
The DICOM MCP Server is a server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for DICOM communication. It provides a way to test DICOM connectivity and perform operations like C-ECHO using either pre-configured node names or direct parameters.
How to use DICOM MCP Server?
To use the server, first install the required dependencies, including UV. You can then install the server using either the traditional setup or the MCP installation method. Configure your DICOM nodes in the nodes.yaml file. Run the server directly or through Claude, and use the provided functions (e.g., list_dicom_nodes(), dicom_cecho_by_name(), dicom_cecho()) to perform DICOM operations.

FAQ from DICOM MCP Server
What is UV?
What is UV?
UV is a dependency required for Claude to properly execute the server. It needs to be installed and available in your system PATH.
How do I install the server?
How do I install the server?
You can install the server using either the traditional setup with uv pip install mcp[cli] or the recommended MCP installation with mcp install server.py.
How do I configure DICOM nodes?
How do I configure DICOM nodes?
DICOM nodes are configured in the nodes.yaml file. This file allows you to define node names, AE titles, IPs, and ports for your DICOM systems.
What do I do if I encounter the 'spawn uv ENOENT' error?
What do I do if I encounter the 'spawn uv ENOENT' error?
This error usually means UV is not installed or not in your PATH. Ensure UV is properly installed, in your PATH, and that the Python environment is accessible to the system.
How do I perform a C-ECHO operation?
How do I perform a C-ECHO operation?
You can perform a C-ECHO operation using either a node name from the configuration with dicom_cecho_by_name() or with explicit parameters using dicom_cecho().
