🏥 Hospital MCP Server

Secure PostgreSQL Access via Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Claude Desktop acts as the MCP client

This project implements a secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects to a PostgreSQL-based Hospital Management System.
Claude Desktop communicates with this server and can safely query hospital data through defined, read-only MCP tools.

📁 Project Structure

MY-FIRST-MCP-SERVER/ │ ├── .venv/ # Virtual environment ├── .env # Environment variables (DB credentials) ├── .gitignore ├── .python-version ├── main.py # MCP server implementation ├── pyproject.toml # Project dependencies (uv/poetry/pdm) ├── README.md # This documentation └── uv.lock # Dependency lockfile

🗄️ 1. PostgreSQL Setup

You must create secure read-only views before exposing data to Claude.

Create Views (Safe, non-sensitive)

CREATE VIEW doctors_view AS SELECT doctor_id, department_id, specialization FROM Doctors; CREATE VIEW departments_view AS SELECT department_id, name, head_doctor_id FROM Departments; CREATE VIEW public_appointments_view AS SELECT appointment_id, patient_id, doctor_id, appointment_date FROM Appointments; CREATE VIEW rooms_view AS SELECT room_id, room_number, current_status FROM Rooms; CREATE VIEW billing_summary_view AS SELECT bill_id, patient_id, appointment_id, admission_id, total_amount FROM Billing;

🔐 2. Create Restricted DB Role

CREATE ROLE mcp_readonly LOGIN PASSWORD 'your_password'; GRANT SELECT ON doctors_view TO mcp_readonly; GRANT SELECT ON departments_view TO mcp_readonly; GRANT SELECT ON public_appointments_view TO mcp_readonly; GRANT SELECT ON rooms_view TO mcp_readonly; GRANT SELECT ON billing_summary_view TO mcp_readonly; REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public FROM mcp_readonly; ALTER ROLE mcp_readonly SET statement_timeout = '3s'; ALTER ROLE mcp_readonly SET idle_in_transaction_session_timeout = '2s';

Only the views are exposed — raw PHI tables are protected.

⚙️ 3. Environment Variables (.env)

Your MCP server reads DB credentials from here:

DB_HOST=localhost DB_PORT=5432 DB_NAME=hospital_db DB_USER=mcp_readonly DB_PASSWORD=your_password

🧠 4. MCP Server (main.py)

main.py runs your MCP server and exposes tools such as:

  • get_doctor_by_id

  • list_doctors_by_department

  • get_appointments_for_doctor

  • check_room_status

  • get_patient_billing_summary

All SQL queries are:

✔ parameterized ✔ read-only ✔ safely constrained

🔌 5. Installing Dependencies

Inside your project folder:

uv sync

Or if using pip manually:

pip install -r requirements.txt

(Dependencies are defined in pyproject.toml)

🤝 6. Connecting MCP Server to Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop automatically detects MCP servers placed in its extensions directory.

In your local file system "C:\Users\shesh\AppData\Roaming\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json" edit this file with your configurations

{ "mcpServers": { "postgres": { "command": "C:\\Users\\shesh\\my-first-mcp-server\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe", "args": [ "C:\\Users\\shesh\\my-first-mcp-server\\main.py", "stdio" ], "cwd": "C:\\Users\\shesh\\my-first-mcp-server", "env": { "DB_HOST": "localhost", "DB_PORT": "5432", "DB_NAME": "db_name", "DB_USER": "postgres", "DB_PASSWORD": "your_password" } } } }

📍 Step 3 — Restart Claude Desktop

Go to:

Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer You should see:

hospital-mcp (running)

Claude will now:

  1. Launch your main.py MCP server

  2. Discover available tools

  3. Call them automatically during conversation

🧪 7. Testing Inside Claude

In Claude Desktop you can ask:

Get the list of doctors in the cardiology department.

Claude will call:

list_doctors_by_department(department_id=1)

Or:

Show me appointments for doctor 3.

Claude → calls your MCP tool → your DB → safe output returned.

🎯 Summary

You now have:

✔ A working Python MCP server ✔ Secure PostgreSQL integration ✔ Fully wired Claude Desktop tool access ✔ Safe read-only hospital data views ✔ Clean project structure

Claude Desktop communicates with your DB only through your safe MCP tools, never accessing raw tables directly.
