Healthcare intake for agents: import blank PDFs, create patient fill links, fetch completed PDFs.
An MCP server for healthcare intake forms: give an AI agent the ability to turn a blank PDF intake packet into a hosted, mobile-friendly fillable form, hand the patient a link, and retrieve the completed, pixel-exact PDF — without any PHI ever entering the agent's context.
Built on EasyDocForms, whose document-understanding pipeline (field detection, checkbox semantics, consent blocks, signature models) runs healthcare intake in production. This server wraps the Partner API via the easydocforms-go SDK.
This server is designed so protected health information never passes through the model:
import_pdf_from_url requires blank_form_attestation: true and takes a URL, never document bytes.get_submission returns metadata and an answer count — never the patient's answers. Answers stay server-side, behind your API key.get_completed_pdf_link returns a ~10-minute signed URL the agent can hand to a human or an EMR without exposing your API key. Treat it like a fax.external_ref must never contain PHI — it's an opaque correlation id (your visit or order number).| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
import_pdf_from_url | Import a blank PDF intake form (async; requires blank-form attestation) |
get_import_status | Poll an import until its template is ready |
list_templates | List the organization's active form templates |
create_fill_link | Mint a hosted URL where a patient fills the form |
get_submission | Submission metadata + answer count — never answers |
get_completed_pdf_link | Short-lived signed download URL for the completed PDF |
go install github.com/easydocforms/easydocforms-mcp/cmd/easydocforms-mcp@latest
You'll need an API key from the EasyDocForms app: Settings → Integrations → Partner API (shown exactly once).
Or run the Docker image (no Go toolchain needed):
docker run -i --rm -e EASYDOCFORMS_API_KEY=edfk_live_... ghcr.io/easydocforms/easydocforms-mcp:latest
claude mcp add easydocforms --env EASYDOCFORMS_API_KEY=edfk_live_... -- easydocforms-mcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"easydocforms": {
"command": "easydocforms-mcp",
"env": { "EASYDOCFORMS_API_KEY": "edfk_live_..." }
}
}
}
| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
EASYDOCFORMS_API_KEY | yes | edfk_live_* Partner API key |
EASYDOCFORMS_BASE_URL | no | API base URL override |
With MCP Inspector:

A typical agent session: "Import the intake form at https://clinic.example.com/forms/new-patient.pdf (it's blank), then give me a fill link for visit 8675309." The agent imports, polls, mints a link with external_ref: "visit-8675309", and hands back a URL. After the patient submits, "Is the PDF for that visit ready?" → get_submission + get_completed_pdf_link.
stdio only, credentials from the environment — per the MCP spec's guidance for locally-run servers. A hosted remote variant (Streamable HTTP + OAuth 2.1) is planned as a second wave.
