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
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
semantic_search | Search using natural language with neural embeddings -"heart attack" finds "Myocardial infarction" |
find_similar_concepts | Find concepts similar to a reference concept, name, or description using semantic, lexical, or hybrid algorithms |
explore_concept | Get concept details, hierarchy, and cross-vocabulary mappings in a single call |
Semantic Search
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:
- Hyperglycemia (SNOMED 80394007) -similarity: 0.94
- 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.
