This server connects your AI assistant to your own OpenEvidence browser session, letting you search, retrieve, and ask medical research questions using your authenticated account. It works with popular MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code without needing an API key. You set it up by pasting a config snippet and logging into OpenEvidence via a local browser session. It helps clinicians and researchers integrate evidence-based info into their AI workflows securely and locally.

Agent Onboarding & Installation

Using Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or another local AI coding agent? You can let the agent handle the entire setup, compilation, and local MCP configuration for you!

Copy and paste this short bootstrap prompt directly into your local AI coding assistant:

Please install OpenEvidence MCP for me: clone https://github.com/bakhtiersizhaev/openevidence-mcp, install dependencies, run build, auto-configure this MCP server in my local client (Claude Desktop/Codex/Cursor), guide me through the one-time Edge/Chrome login using `npm run login:session`, and run `npm run smoke` to verify. Keep everything strictly local and secure.

For the comprehensive, step-by-step setup playbook and rules, see docs/AGENT_INSTALL_PROMPT.md.
