RWE Life Sciences MCP Server

A local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a single Real-World Evidence (RWE) tool to Claude. The tool returns aggregated, de-identified patient cohort statistics across four dimensions:

Dimension	Values
Age group	0-17, 18-34, 35-49, 50-64, 65-74, 75+
Gender	Male, Female, Unknown/Other
US Geography	4 Census regions + all 50 states + DC
Longitudinal	2018 – 2024 (year-over-year trend)

Disclaimer – All data is synthetically generated for demonstration purposes only. Do not use for clinical or regulatory decisions.

Quick start

1. Install dependencies

cd rwe_mcp_server pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Run the server

python server.py

The server starts on stdio (the MCP standard transport) and is ready for Claude Desktop to connect.

Connect to Claude Desktop

Open (or create) claude_desktop_config.json:

OS	Path
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows	%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the server entry below (replace /absolute/path/to/ with your actual path):

{ "mcpServers": { "rwe-life-sciences": { "command": "python", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/rwe_mcp_server/server.py"], "env": {} } } }

If you use a virtual-environment interpreter:

{ "mcpServers": { "rwe-life-sciences": { "command": "/absolute/path/to/.venv/bin/python", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/rwe_mcp_server/server.py"], "env": {} } } }

Restart Claude Desktop. The 🔧 tool icon should show rwe-life-sciences connected.
