What is DICOM MCP Server?
The DICOM MCP Server is a tool that facilitates DICOM connectivity testing using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows users to configure DICOM nodes and perform operations like C-ECHO, either directly or through Claude.
How to use DICOM MCP Server?
The server can be installed using either a traditional setup with uv pip install mcp[cli] or through MCP with mcp install server.py. It can be run directly using uv run server.py or managed by Claude after MCP installation. Configuration is done via the nodes.yaml file, which defines DICOM nodes and local AE titles.

What is the purpose of the nodes.yaml file?
What is the purpose of the nodes.yaml file?
It stores DICOM node configurations, allowing you to list nodes and perform C-ECHO operations using node names.
What do I do if I encounter the 'spawn uv ENOENT' error?
What do I do if I encounter the 'spawn uv ENOENT' error?
Make sure UV is properly installed and in your PATH, and that the Python executable is accessible to the system. Try running the server with the explicit UV path.
How do I perform a C-ECHO operation using a node name?
How do I perform a C-ECHO operation using a node name?
Use the dicom_cecho_by_name(node_name="main_pacs", local_ae_name="default") function.
