Details

From the project README

Photon Health MCP by usefulapi

Use Photon Health from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — read Photon Health patients, prescriptions, orders, pharmacies and medications; screen interactions. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Photon Health credentials.

Live endpoint: https://photon-health.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/photon-health

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://photon-health.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http photon-health https://photon-health.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "photon-health": {
      "url": "https://photon-health.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Photon Health credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/photon-health/

On first connect you'll provide your Photon client ID, client secret and environment. Your credentials are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
