Advanced medical image analysis.
Just ask for it.

MedMCP is an agentic system that runs state-of-the-art medical imaging pipelines from a familiar chat interface. No terminal, no code, just plain language.

The Workspace

One window. Your data,
your viewer, your agent.

MedMCP runs as a self-contained workspace on your own machine: a file browser, a built-in medical image viewer, a library of reusable pipelines, and an agent that ties them together. The viewer below is live.

Here's my plan:
1. Validate each NIfTI & check orientation
2. Run HD-BET brain extraction
3. Run LST-AI lesion segmentation

01

Describe your analysis

Use plain language, the same way you'd explain it to a colleague. No commands, no parameters, no prior AI experience needed.

02

MedMCP plans and executes

The AI selects the right validated tools, sequences them correctly, and handles all the technical details automatically.

03

You approve every action

Before anything runs, you see exactly what will happen. Approve or reject with a single click. You are always in control.


The Agentic System

It doesn't just answer.
It does the work.

MedMCP is an agent, not a chatbot. It reasons about your goal, sequences the right tools, executes them under your control, and keeps a complete record of everything it did.

Plans multi-step pipelines

From one plain-language goal, it sequences the whole chain (DICOM conversion, skull-stripping, registration, segmentation) in the correct order.

Runs validated tools

It orchestrates trusted, published methods like HD-BET, LST-AI, and ANTs registration, not opaque guesses. The intelligence plans; proven tools execute.

Approval-gated execution

Every file operation and tool call is shown for review first. Nothing touches your data until you approve it.

Full provenance & audit

Every approved and rejected action is logged to an append-only record: a complete, reproducible trail of what ran on your data and when.

Learns reusable workflows

Distill any session into a deterministic, replayable pipeline. Run it again on new patients with no model in the loop, the same steps every time.

Batch over cohorts

Bind one workflow to a folder of subjects and process an entire cohort in a single run, with failures isolated per subject and progress streamed live.


Who It's For

Built for the people who
work with medical images.

In the clinic, the lab, or a clinical trial, MedMCP makes the field's best imaging tools available to the people who use them.

Clinician & Radiologist

Research-grade tools, no terminal.

Run validated segmentation, registration, and lesion analysis on your own patients.

"Have this patient's MS lesions grown since their last scan?"
Domain Researcher

Focus on the science, not the setup.

Skip the Python environments and DICOM wrangling, and batch a whole cohort in one request.

"Convert this DICOM series to NIfTI, skull-strip it, and register it to MNI space."
Pharma & Clinical Trials

Imaging endpoints at trial scale.

Quantify imaging biomarkers across multi-site cohorts, with a full audit trail behind every result.

"Report the change in lesion volume from baseline to week 48 for every patient in the trial."

Privacy & Safety

Your data never leaves
your institution.

MedMCP was designed from the ground up for clinical and translational research environments, where data governance is non-negotiable.

Runs entirely on-premise

The AI model runs on your hardware. No imaging data, patient metadata, or results are ever sent to a cloud service.

You approve every action

Every file operation, every analysis step, every tool call is shown to you before it runs. You stay in full control.

No internet required

After installation, MedMCP does not need an active internet connection to run analyses.

Full audit trail

Every approved and rejected action is logged persistently, giving you a complete record of what ran on your data and when.


Always Getting Better

Built to ride the wave of
open-weight model progress.

MedMCP runs entirely on open-weight models on your own hardware, with Gemma 4 today. Nothing ties it to a single model, so you're never locked in: as stronger open models are released, you can move to them and the whole system improves with no extra work on your side.

That's a safe bet, because open models are improving fast. What needs a large cloud model today will run comfortably on local hardware before long, and MedMCP is built to make the most of each new generation.

It works because the model and the tools stay separate. Your imaging pipelines are validated once and always behave the same way; a more capable model simply gets better at choosing and running them.

Our Vision

Make advanced medical imaging
usable by everyone who needs it.

"The tools exist. The methods work. What is missing is the infrastructure to put them in the hands of the people who are best positioned to use them. MedMCP exists to close that gap."

No clinician or researcher should need a software engineer to run a validated pipeline. Our goal is simple: make the field's best methods usable by anyone who needs them, reliably and safely, on their own infrastructure.


Capability Stacks

A growing library of
imaging capabilities.

MedMCP's capabilities are organized into domain stacks. Activate one and its tools appear automatically in the workspace, ready for the agent to plan with. New stacks land regularly.

DICOM & File I/O

Inspect, validate, and convert DICOM series to standard research formats. The foundation layer every other stack builds on.

Under active development

Neuroimaging

Brain extraction, white matter lesion segmentation, cortical thickness, and multi-modal registration for neurological research.

Under active development

Cardiac Imaging

Cardiac structure segmentation and functional analysis for echocardiography and cardiac MRI workflows.

Coming soon

Microscopy & Pathology

Cell detection, tissue segmentation, and quantification pipelines for digital pathology and microscopy images.

Coming soon
