Foremost among them is Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV), the world's largest open-source EHR database. However, the inherent complexity of these datasets, particularly the need for sophisticated querying skills and the need to understand the underlying clinical settings, often presents a significant barrier to their effective use. M4 lowers the technical barrier to understanding and querying MIMIC-IV data. With a single command it retrieves MIMIC-IV from PhysioNet, launches a local SQLite instance (or hooks into the hosted BigQuery), and-via the Model Context Protocol (MCP)-lets researchers converse with the database in plain English. Ask a clinical question in natural language; M4 uses a language model to translate it into SQL, executes the query against the MIMIC-IV dataset, and returns structured results alongside the underlying query for verifiability and reproducibility. Demonstrations show that minutes of dialogue with M4 yield the kind of nuanced cohort analyses that once demanded hours of handcrafted SQL and relied on understanding the complexities of clinical workflows. By simplifying access, M4 invites the broader research community to mine clinical critical-care data and accelerates the translation of raw records into actionable insight. </div> <div className="paper-stats"> <div className="paper-stat"> <span>🏢</span> <span>MIT, TUM, UPF, St. Jude, BIDMC</span> </div> <div className="paper-stat"> <span>🔗</span> <span>github.com/rafiattrach/m4</span> </div> <div className="paper-stat"> <span>📦</span> <span>pypi.org/project/m4-mcp</span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> ); }; export default Paper;
