# Healthcare Analytics MCP Server - Project Summary
## 🎯 Project Overview
Successfully created a comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for healthcare data analysis using FastMCP 2.0 and Tuva Health demo data. This server provides essential tools for value-based care analytics that healthcare organizations commonly need.
## ✅ Completed Tasks
- [x] **Data Structure Exploration**: Analyzed Tuva Health BigQuery datasets (core, quality_measures, financial_pmpm, chronic_conditions, cms_hcc, readmissions)
- [x] **Project Setup**: Configured FastMCP 2.0 with proper dependencies and environment setup
- [x] **Core Tools Implementation**: Built 8 comprehensive healthcare analytics tools
- [x] **Documentation**: Created detailed README and setup instructions
- [x] **Testing Framework**: Developed comprehensive test suite for validation

```bash
fastmcp run healthcare_mcp_server.py
```
## 🔧 Customization & Extension
The server is designed for easy extension with additional healthcare analytics:
### Adding New Tools
```python
@mcp.tool()
def get_medication_adherence(
therapeutic_class: str,
year: str = "2018"
) -> Dict[str, Any]:
# Implementation here
pass
```
