## What it does

This tool connects your coding assistant to health nomenclature datasets via the Voa Health FHIR service. It exposes lookup and code verification tools across registries like CID-10, TUSS, and SIGTAP, along with LOINC.

Requests go to `https://terminologia.voa.health/api/v1/fhir` by default. Without a valid `TERMINOLOGIA_KEY` credential, every query fails. You can point the client to another endpoint using `TERMINOLOGIA_URL`.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)
- Environment variables: `TERMINOLOGIA_KEY`, `TERMINOLOGIA_URL` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add --env TERMINOLOGIA_KEY=<TERMINOLOGIA_KEY> --env TERMINOLOGIA_URL=<TERMINOLOGIA_URL> --transport stdio terminologia -- uvx terminologia
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from terminologia <command>

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add terminologia --env TERMINOLOGIA_KEY=<TERMINOLOGIA_KEY> --env TERMINOLOGIA_URL=<TERMINOLOGIA_URL> -- uvx terminologia
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from terminologia <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "terminologia": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "terminologia"
            ],
            "env": {
                "TERMINOLOGIA_KEY": "<TERMINOLOGIA_KEY>",
                "TERMINOLOGIA_URL": "<TERMINOLOGIA_URL>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from terminologia <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "terminologia": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "terminologia"
            ],
            "env": {
                "TERMINOLOGIA_KEY": "<TERMINOLOGIA_KEY>",
                "TERMINOLOGIA_URL": "<TERMINOLOGIA_URL>"
            }
        }
    }
}
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from terminologia <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add -e TERMINOLOGIA_KEY=<TERMINOLOGIA_KEY> -e TERMINOLOGIA_URL=<TERMINOLOGIA_URL> terminologia uvx terminologia
```
Replace <…> with your own values. uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from terminologia <command>

## When to use it
- look up diagnosis codes in ICD-10 or ICPC-2
- validate medical billing codes in TUSS and SIGTAP
- translate codes across healthcare classification systems
- search health establishments registered in CNES

## Example prompts
- Look up the ICD-10 code for chest pain
- Validate code 10101012 against the TUSS terminology system
- Search for clinics matching hospital das clinicas in CNES
