Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant look up Japanese medical institutions listed by MHLW as accepting foreign patients, and track list changes.

What you can do
  • Look up listed medical institutions by prefecture or city, filtered by language, category and facility type, with status such as listed, no longer listed or not found.
  • Track additions, changes, removals and returns to the MHLW list since a given date, optionally filtered by prefecture and change type.
  • List the server's own tools with prices, data sources, licensing, daily limits and data freshness.
  • Re-fetch the stored result of a settled paid call by its receipt id when a response was lost.
When to use it
Useful when you need to find hospitals or clinics in Japan that officially accept foreign-language patients, or to see how that list has changed over time. Suited to travel, relocation or patient-support research rather than clinical advice.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime, account, API key or headers are declared. Some calls are paid and settle per call, with a free 30-day change window and free receipt retrieval.
Before you install
Some lookups are paid, so calls can cost money; check the catalog tool for prices and daily limits before running them. Results are the service's own record of MHLW list versions, not an official MHLW feed, and paid results are only kept for 90 days after settlement. It is a directory of listings, not medical advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Japan Hospitals Accepting Foreign Patients in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.mk-career-planning%2Fjp-foreign-patient-hospitals/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Changes in the MHLW foreign-patient hospital list

Optional prefecture and change_type filters. Free window: last 30 days. A public-service listing, not an enforcement list: removals are dated, and no reason is inferred.

83% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
