DICOM MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for DICOM connectivity testing.
Prerequisites
- Install UV (required):Make sureCopy
uv
is available in your system PATH as it's required for Claude to properly execute the server.
Installation
There are two ways to set up the server:
1. Traditional Setup
Install the required dependencies:
2. MCP Installation (Recommended)
To use this server with Claude's Model Context Protocol:
This will register the server with Claude for DICOM operations.
Running the Server
Direct Execution
Through Claude
Once installed via MCP, the server will be automatically managed by Claude when needed.
The server will start on 0.0.0.0:8080 by default.
Node Configuration
The server uses a nodes.yaml
file to store DICOM node configurations. This allows you to:
- List all configured DICOM nodes
- Perform C-ECHO operations using node names instead of explicit AE titles, IPs, and ports
- Use different local AE titles for C-ECHO operations
nodes.yaml Format
Troubleshooting
If you encounter the "spawn uv ENOENT" error, it typically means one of the following:
- UV is not installed or not in your PATH
- The Python executable cannot be found by the MCP client
Solutions:
- Make sure UV is properly installed and in your PATH:Copy
- Ensure you're using a Python environment that's accessible to the system:
- If using a virtual environment, make sure it's activated
- Check that Python is in your PATH
- Try running the server with explicit UV path:Copy
- Add more debugging by checking the stderr output in the logs
Usage
The server provides several DICOM tools that can be used through the MCP interface:
List DICOM Nodes
List all configured DICOM nodes from the nodes.yaml file:
C-ECHO by Node Name
Perform a C-ECHO operation using a node name from the configuration:
Direct C-ECHO
Perform a C-ECHO operation with explicit parameters:
This server cannot be installed
hybrid server
The server is able to function both locally and remotely, depending on the configuration or use case.
A connectivity testing server that enables DICOM network operations (like C-ECHO) through Claude's Model Context Protocol, with support for node configuration management.
