MyChart MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects to any Epic MyChart patient portal to log in, list your test results, and download them as PDFs — so an AI assistant can help you understand your own lab work.

Epic offers no simple public login API (the official FHIR route requires per-organization app registration), so this server drives the MyChart website with Playwright:

  • Login is interactive and private — a visible browser window opens; you type your username/password and complete MFA yourself. Credentials never pass through the AI, the MCP protocol, or this server's tool arguments.

  • Session persists — cookies (including MyChart's session-scoped auth cookie) are exported to disk after login and replayed on every launch, so subsequent operations run headless until the portal expires the session server-side.

  • Works across MyChart versions — scraping tries the modern SPA routes (/app/test-results) first, then classic routes, with permissive selectors.

Tools

Tool

Purpose

mychart_set_provider

Set your health system's MyChart URL (one-time). Paste any URL from their MyChart site.

mychart_login

Opens a visible browser window; you sign in + complete MFA there.

mychart_session_status

Check provider config + whether the saved session is still valid.

mychart_list_test_results

List ALL test results (auto-expands "Show more"), with ids r1, r2, ....

mychart_get_test_result

Full readable content of one result (values, ranges, comments).

mychart_download_test_result

Save a result as PDF to ~/.mychart-mcp/downloads.

mychart_screenshot

Debug: full-page PNG of what the automation browser sees.

mychart_close_browser

Close the browser process (session stays saved on disk).

Installation

npm install -g mychart-mcp-server
npx playwright install chromium

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/kriskraw80/mychart-mcp-server.git
cd mychart-mcp-server
npm install
npx playwright install chromium
npm run build

Register with Claude Code / Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mychart": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mychart-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

(Or point command at node with args: ["<path>/dist/index.js"] for a source checkout.) Restart your MCP client after config changes.

Optional environment variables

Variable

Purpose

MYCHART_URL

Default provider URL (alternative to mychart_set_provider).

MYCHART_USERNAME / MYCHART_PASSWORD

If set on the server process, the login form is pre-filled (MFA is still completed by you in the window). Optional — typing in the window is the default and safest.

Typical flow

  1. mychart_set_provider with your portal URL (e.g. https://mychart.example-health.org/MyChart)

  2. mychart_login → sign in + MFA in the window that opens (check "Remember this device")

  3. mychart_list_test_results → returns r1, r2, ...

  4. mychart_get_test_result r1 or mychart_download_test_result r1

Data locations

Everything lives in ~/.mychart-mcp/ — keep it out of synced folders (the Chromium profile does not tolerate file sync):

  • config.json — provider URL

  • browser-profile/ — persistent Chromium profile

  • storage-state.json — exported session cookies (replayed on each launch)

  • results-cache.json — id → result-URL map from the last list call

  • downloads/ — PDFs and screenshots

Notes & limitations

  • Personal use, no warranty. This tool automates the MyChart web portal to access your own health records — a right you have under HIPAA — but portal scraping is not officially sanctioned by Epic. Use at your own discretion.

  • MyChart's DOM varies by health system and Epic version. If listing finds nothing, use mychart_screenshot to see the rendered page; selectors may need a tweak for your provider. Some systems host MyChart on non-obvious domains (e.g. secure.<org>.org rather than mychart.<org>.org) — paste the URL straight from your browser.

  • The server prefers your system-installed Chrome (then Edge, then Playwright's bundled Chromium) — real Chrome's app-bound cookie encryption requires the whole profile to stay on one browser brand, and some Windows machines can't run the bundled build.

  • PDF download renders the result detail page via headless Chrome (page.pdf), which is version-independent, rather than hunting for per-version "Download" buttons.

  • Sessions expire server-side after idle time; just run mychart_login again.

  • login-helper.mjs, run-direct.mjs, and run-batch.mjs drive the built dist/ code directly — handy for re-login or batch fetching without an MCP client in the loop.

Available Tools

8 tools
mychart_close_browserClose MyChart BrowserA
Idempotent

Close the automation browser. The login session itself is preserved in the persistent profile on disk — this only frees the browser process. The next tool call relaunches it automatically.

Inputs: no named parameters.

mychart_download_test_resultDownload MyChart Test Result as PDFA
Idempotent

Save one test result as a PDF file on disk (rendered from the result detail page). Requires a logged-in session.

Args:

  • result_id (string): An id from mychart_list_test_results (e.g. "r3"), or a full result-detail URL.

  • filename (string, optional): Base filename for the PDF; defaults to " .pdf".

Files are saved to ~/.mychart-mcp/downloads. Returns: { path, bytes, id, name, date }.

Inputs: result_id (required), filename.

mychart_get_test_resultGet MyChart Test Result DetailsA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Open one test result and return its full readable content — component values, reference ranges, flags, and provider comments — as text. Requires a logged-in session.

Args:

  • result_id (string): An id from mychart_list_test_results (e.g. "r3"), or a full result-detail URL.

Returns: { id, name, date, url, text, truncated }. If truncated is true, use mychart_download_test_result for the complete PDF.

Inputs: result_id (required).

mychart_list_test_resultsList MyChart Test ResultsA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Fetch the full list of test results from the MyChart portal (labs, imaging, pathology, etc.). Automatically expands lazy-loaded lists ("Show more") so every available result is returned, newest first as displayed by MyChart. Requires a logged-in session.

Returns: JSON with schema: { "count": number, "listUrl": string, // the portal page that was scraped "results": [ { "id": string, // stable id for this session, e.g. "r1" — use with mychart_get_test_result / mychart_download_test_result "name": string, // test name, e.g. "CBC WITH DIFFERENTIAL" "date": string?, // collection/result date as shown by MyChart "url": string // direct link to the result detail page } ] }

Error Handling:

  • "Not logged in" -> run mychart_login first.

  • If no results are recognized, use mychart_screenshot to inspect what the portal is showing.

Inputs: no named parameters.

mychart_loginLog in to MyChartA
Idempotent

Open a VISIBLE browser window at the configured MyChart login page and wait for the sign-in to complete. The user types their username/password and completes any MFA prompt directly in that window — credentials are never passed through the MCP client. (Optionally, if MYCHART_USERNAME and MYCHART_PASSWORD environment variables are set on the server process, the login form is pre-filled.)

Tip: check "Remember this device" during MFA so future logins skip the code.

The session is stored in a persistent browser profile (~/.mychart-mcp/browser-profile), so once logged in, all other tools work headlessly without repeating login until the session expires.

Args:

  • timeout_seconds (number): How long to wait for the user to finish signing in (default 300, max 900).

Returns: { success, landedUrl, message }

Inputs: timeout_seconds.

mychart_screenshotScreenshot Current MyChart PageA
Read-only

Debug aid: capture a full-page PNG of whatever page the automation browser is currently on (or the MyChart home page if idle). Useful when list/detail scraping reports nothing recognizable — the screenshot shows what the portal actually rendered.

Args:

  • name (string, optional): Base filename for the PNG.

Returns: { path, url }. Screenshot is saved to ~/.mychart-mcp/downloads.

Inputs: name.

mychart_session_statusCheck MyChart SessionA
Read-onlyIdempotent

Check whether a MyChart provider is configured and whether the saved browser session is still logged in. Runs headless; safe to call any time.

Returns: { configured, baseUrl, loggedIn, landedUrl }. If loggedIn is false, run mychart_login.

Inputs: no named parameters.

mychart_set_providerSet MyChart ProviderA
Idempotent

Configure which health system's MyChart site to use. Every hospital system runs its own MyChart instance at its own URL, so this must be set once before logging in.

Args:

Returns: The normalized base URL that was saved.

The setting persists in ~/.mychart-mcp/config.json. Changing providers invalidates any saved login session for the previous provider only in the sense that tools will now target the new site.

Inputs: url (required).

    A4.6/5.0

    Scored across 8 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a distinct role: configure provider, login, check session, list results, get detail, download PDF, screenshot for debugging, and close browser. No overlapping purposes that would confuse an agent.

    Naming Consistency4/5

    All tools share the 'mychart_' prefix and most use verb_noun (set_provider, list_test_results, get_test_result, download_test_result, close_browser). Minor deviations include 'login', 'session_status', and 'screenshot', but the pattern remains recognizable and predictable.

    Tool Count5/5

    Eight tools is a well-scoped size for a MyChart portal connector. Each tool covers a necessary step in the workflow (setup, auth, status, list, retrieve, download, debug, cleanup) without redundancy or bloat.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool set fully covers the stated purpose: configure a provider, log in, verify session, list test results, retrieve readable content, download PDFs, and debug if scraping fails. There are no obvious gaps for the intended use case.
