AI-powered ICD-10 and ICD-11 medical coding automation

AutoICD MCP Server

Give AI assistants the power of medical coding — ICD-10-CM and ICD-11 diagnosis coding, code search, crosswalk, and PHI de-identification via the AutoICD API.

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf to the AutoICD API for AI-powered ICD-10 and ICD-11 medical coding automation.

Why AutoICD API?

Feature Details
AI-Powered Coding Clinical text → ICD-10-CM or ICD-11 codes with NLP entity extraction
74,000+ ICD-10 Codes Full ICD-10-CM 2025 code set with descriptions and hierarchy
ICD-11 Support Search and look up ICD-11 codes with full ICD-10 ↔ ICD-11 crosswalk
Negation Detection Identifies negated, historical, uncertain, and family history mentions
Confidence Scoring High/moderate confidence labels with cosine similarity scores
Spell Correction Handles misspelled medical terms automatically
PHI De-identification HIPAA-compliant removal of names, dates, SSNs, and more
Code Search Full-text search across all ICD-10-CM codes and descriptions
SNOMED CT & UMLS Cross-references and synonyms from standard medical terminologies

Available Tools

`code_diagnosis`

Extract medical diagnoses from clinical text and map them to ICD-10-CM codes.

Parameters:

  • text (required) — Clinical text to process (progress notes, discharge summaries, etc.)
  • top_k (optional, 1-25, default: 5) — Number of top ICD-10 candidates per entity
  • include_negated (optional, default: true) — Include negated entities in results

Example prompts:

  • "Code this note: Patient presents with acute lower back pain radiating to the left leg. Denies any numbness or tingling."
  • "What ICD-10 codes apply to: 65-year-old male with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease stage 3"
  • "Code the following discharge summary: Patient admitted for COPD exacerbation with acute respiratory failure. History of CHF and atrial fibrillation."

The tool will extract medical entities, detect negations ("denies numbness"), and return ranked ICD-10 code candidates with confidence scores.

`search_codes`

Search the ICD-10-CM 2025 code set by description.

Parameters:

  • query (required) — Search text to match against code descriptions
  • limit (optional, 1-100, default: 20) — Maximum results
  • offset (optional, default: 0) — Pagination offset

Example prompts:

  • "Search for ICD-10 codes related to congestive heart failure"
  • "Find all ICD-10 codes for diabetes"
  • "What ICD-10 codes are there for anxiety disorders?"
  • "Look up hypertension ICD-10 codes"

`get_code`

Get comprehensive details for a specific ICD-10-CM code.

Parameters:

  • code (required) — ICD-10-CM code (e.g., "E11.9", "I10", "J44.1")

Example prompts:

  • "Look up the details for ICD-10 code M54.5"
  • "What does ICD-10 code I10 mean?"
  • "Is E11.9 a billable code? What are its synonyms?"
  • "Show me the SNOMED CT mappings for code J44.1"

Returns descriptions, billable status, SNOMED CT and UMLS synonyms, parent/child hierarchy, chapter classification, and ICD-11 crosswalk mappings.

`search_icd11_codes`

Search the ICD-11 code set by description.

Parameters:

  • query (required) — Search text to match against ICD-11 code descriptions
  • limit (optional, 1-100, default: 10) — Maximum results

Example prompts:

  • "Search for ICD-11 codes related to diabetes"
  • "Find ICD-11 codes for respiratory infections"
  • "What are the ICD-11 codes for anxiety disorders?"

`get_icd11_code`

Get comprehensive details for a specific ICD-11 code, including ICD-10 crosswalk mappings.

Parameters:

  • code (required) — ICD-11 code (e.g., "5A11", "BA00", "CA40.0")
