HIPAA Guardian MCP Server

# Smithery.ai Deployment Guide for HIPAA Compliance Guardian MCP Server This guide will help you deploy the HIPAA Compliance Guardian MCP Server on Smithery.ai. ## Prerequisites - Node.js 18+ installed - Access to Smithery.ai platform - Git repository with your MCP server code ## Step 1: Build the Server First, build the server for production: ```bash npm install npm run build ``` This will create a `dist/` directory with the compiled JavaScript and necessary files. ## Step 2: Prepare for Smithery Deployment The server is now ready for Smithery deployment. The key files that will be deployed are: - `dist/server.js` - The compiled MCP server - `dist/hipaa-content.json` - The HIPAA knowledge base - `dist/package.json` - Production dependencies - `smithery.yaml` - Smithery configuration file (in the root directory) ## Step 3: Deploy to Smithery.ai 1. **Upload to Smithery.ai:** - Go to your Smithery.ai dashboard - Create a new MCP server deployment - Upload the contents of the `dist/` directory 2. **Configure the Server:** - The `smithery.yaml` file contains all the necessary configuration - Server Name: `hipaa-compliance-guardian` - Entry Point: `server.js` - Runtime: Node.js 18+ 3. **Environment Variables:** - No environment variables are required for this server - The server runs in production mode by default ## Step 4: Test the Deployment Once deployed, you can test the server by connecting to it through an MCP client. The server provides the following tools: ### Core HIPAA Tools: - `evaluateComplianceNeed` - Determine if your app needs HIPAA compliance - `getComplianceRoadmap` - Step-by-step compliance roadmap - `getCoreDefinitions` - Key HIPAA term definitions - `getSecurityRuleSafeguards` - Security rule implementation guide - `getMobileSecurityControls` - Mobile app security checklist - `getPenaltyInformation` - Current HIPAA violation penalties - `getValidationAndAuditInfo` - Compliance validation information - `getDeveloperConsiderations` - Developer-specific guidance ### Advanced Tools: - `getBreachResponseChecklist` - Data breach response procedures - `getSecureCodingChecklist` - Secure coding practices - `getVendorVettingChecklist` - Third-party vendor evaluation - `getApiSecurityChecklist` - API security best practices - `getPrivacyPolicyPoints` - Privacy policy requirements - `getGeneralDataSecurityChecklist` - General PII security - `confirmCodeCompliance` - Code compliance validation ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues: 1. **Server won't start:** - Check that `hipaa-content.json` is in the same directory as `server.js` - Verify Node.js version is 18+ 2. **Tools not working:** - Ensure the MCP client is properly configured - Check server logs for error messages 3. **Build errors:** - Run `npm install` to ensure all dependencies are installed - Check TypeScript compilation errors ### Logs and Monitoring: The server provides detailed logging: - ✅ Success messages for each operation - ❌ Error messages with details - 📋 List of available tools on startup ## Security Considerations This MCP server: - Does not store any user data - Provides read-only access to HIPAA guidance - Does not require any API keys or sensitive configuration - Is safe for deployment in any environment ## Support For issues with the MCP server itself, check the server logs and ensure all files are properly deployed.
