Security Feature Testing ✅ #### PHI Protection - ✅ Names automatically masked (given/family names → '***') - ✅ Birth dates converted to age calculations - ✅ Addresses masked (lines/city/postal → '***MASKED***') - ✅ Government identifiers filtered (SSN, national IDs removed) - ✅ Telecom values masked - ✅ Configurable trusted/safe modes #### Audit Security - ✅ Sensitive fields redacted in audit logs - ✅ Token/authorization headers protected - ✅ Password fields redacted - ✅ Secret keys protected - ✅ Birth date information redacted - ✅ Trace ID generation for request tracking ### 4. Configuration Testing ✅ - ✅ Environment variable support (6 variables) - ✅ Sensible default configurations - ✅ FHIR_BASE_URL configuration - ✅ TERMINOLOGY_BASE_URL configuration - ✅ PHI_MODE configuration - ✅ ENABLE_AUDIT configuration ## Issues Found and Resolved ### Bug Fix: Audit Logger Birth Date Redaction **Issue**: `birthDate` fields were not being redacted in audit logs due to case sensitivity mismatch. **Root Cause**: The sensitive field array contained `'birthDate'` but the comparison was done against `'birthdate'` (lowercase). **Resolution**: Updated sensitive fields array in `audit-logger.ts:76` from `'birthDate'` to `'birthdate'` to match lowercase comparison. **Impact**: CRITICAL - PHI could have been exposed in audit logs **Status**: ✅ FIXED and verified ## Architecture Assessment ### Strengths ✅ - **Separation of Concerns**: Clean separation between providers, security, tools, and types - **Input Validation**: Comprehensive Zod schemas prevent invalid requests - **Security-First Design**: Built-in PHI protection and audit logging - **Error Handling**: Consistent async/await patterns with proper error propagation - **Configurability**: Environment-based configuration for different deployments - **TypeScript**: Strong typing throughout the codebase - **Standards Compliance**: Follows FHIR R4 and MCP protocol specifications ### Recommendations 💡 1. **Null Safety**: Consider adding more null safety checks in array operations 2. **Timeout Handling**: Consider adding timeout handling for external API calls *(already implemented with 30s axios timeout)* 3. **Unit Tests**: Add comprehensive unit test suite for CI/CD pipeline 4. **Integration Tests**: Expand E2E test coverage for edge cases ## Function-by-Function Analysis ### Core FHIR Provider (`packages/mcp-fhir-server/src/providers/fhir-provider.ts`) | Function | Lines | Purpose | Test Status | |----------|--------|---------|------------| | `constructor()` | 8-19 | Initialize axios client with auth | ✅ PASS | | `getCapabilities()` | 21-24 | Fetch server metadata | ✅ PASS | | `search()` | 26-66 | Resource search with params | ✅ PASS | | `read()` | 68-77 | Read resource by ID | ✅ PASS | | `create()` | 79-82 | Create new resource | ✅ PASS | | `update()` | 84-92 | Update existing resource | ✅ PASS | ### Terminology Provider (`packages/mcp-fhir-server/src/providers/terminology-provider.ts`) | Function | Lines | Purpose | Test Status | |----------|--------|---------|------------| | `constructor()` | 8-19 | Initialize terminology client | ✅ PASS | | `expand()` | 21-38 | ValueSet expansion | ✅ PASS | | `lookup()` | 40-75 | CodeSystem lookup | ✅ PASS | | `translate()` | 77-122 | ConceptMap translation | ✅ PASS | ### PHI Security Guard (`packages/mcp-fhir-server/src/security/phi-guard.ts`) | Function | Lines | Purpose | Test Status | |----------|--------|---------|------------| | `maskResource()` | 11-34 | Main PHI masking entry point | ✅ PASS | | `removeField()` | 36-46 | Remove specified fields | ✅ PASS | | `maskField()` | 48-61 | Mask specific field values | ✅ PASS | | `applySafeguards()` | 63-124 | Apply standard PHI protections | ✅ PASS | | `maskName()` | 126-133 | Mask patient names | ✅ PASS | | `maskAddress()` | 135-141 | Mask address information | ✅ PASS | ### Audit Logger (`packages/mcp-fhir-server/src/security/audit-logger.ts`) | Function | Lines | Purpose | Test Status | |----------|--------|---------|------------| | `log()` | 20-36 | Generic audit logging | ✅ PASS | | `logFhirOperation()` | 38-54 | FHIR operation auditing | ✅ PASS | | `logTerminologyOperation()` | 56-68 | Terminology operation auditing | ✅ PASS | | `generateTraceId()` | 70-72 | Generate unique trace IDs | ✅ PASS | | `redactSensitiveData()` | 74-86 | Redact sensitive audit data | ✅ PASS *(fixed)* | ## Security Verification ### PHI Protection Test Results -
