Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Canvas Medical MCP by usefulapi 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.usefulapi%2Fcanvas-medical/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Canvas Medical MCP by usefulapi

Search and read a patient chart over the Canvas FHIR R4 API. Read-only. Hosted, no local install.

Live endpoint: https://canvas-medical.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://canvas-medical.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http canvas-medical https://canvas-medical.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:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "canvas-medical": {      "url": "https://canvas-medical.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 Canvas Medical credentials.

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

On first connect you'll paste your Canvas Medical credentials. They are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

Pricing

PlanPriceLimit
Free$050 tool calls / month
Pro$9/mo or $90/yr (2 months free)10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+$39/mo or $390/yr (2 months free)100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run canvas_medical_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with canvas_medical_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with canvas_medical_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

canvas_read

Read one FHIR resource

Fetch a single FHIR resource by type and id. Canvas: GET /{resource}/{id}.

Parametersidrequiredresourcerequired

canvas_get_patient_everything

Get everything for one patient

Fetch a patient's full record in one FHIR bundle — conditions, medications, observations, encounters and more. The fastest way to answer a broad question about one person, but it can return a large document, so prefer canvas_search when you know which resource you need. Canvas: GET /Patient/{id}/$everything.

Parameters_countpatient_idrequired

canvas_get_capability_statement

Get the FHIR capability statement

Fetch the server's FHIR CapabilityStatement — exactly which resources, interactions and search parameters this Canvas instance supports. Read it when a search is rejected and you want to know what the instance actually accepts. Canvas: GET /metadata.

Takes no parameters.

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.
