MCP Server v1.2.0: Semantic Search, Similar Concepts & Explore

MCP Server adds 3 new tools: semantic search with neural embeddings, similar concept discovery, and unified concept exploration - bringing the total to 9 tools.

MCP Server v1.2.0 is now available with three new tools that bring AI-powered vocabulary capabilities directly into your AI assistant workflow.

New Tools

ToolDescription
semantic_searchSearch using natural language with neural embeddings -"heart attack" finds "Myocardial infarction"
find_similar_conceptsFind concepts similar to a reference concept, name, or description using semantic, lexical, or hybrid algorithms
explore_conceptGet concept details, hierarchy, and cross-vocabulary mappings in a single call

Unlike keyword search, semantic_search understands clinical meaning. Describe what you're looking for in everyday language and get ranked results:

You: Find concepts related to "high blood sugar"

Assistant: Found 8 semantic matches:

  1. Hyperglycemia (SNOMED 80394007) -similarity: 0.94
  2. Glucose measurement (LOINC 2345-7) -similarity: 0.82

Explore Concept

explore_concept replaces three separate tool calls (get_concept + get_hierarchy + map_concept) with a single request:

You: Give me everything about SNOMED concept 201826

Assistant: Returns concept details, 2 ancestors, 2 descendants, and ICD-10/MeSH mappings -all in one response.

Upgrade

npm install -g @omophub/omophub-mcp@latest

Or if using npx, you'll get the latest version automatically.
