Securely processes and stores patient health information with enterprise-grade encryption and access controls meeting HIPAA regulatory requirements. Ensures patient data remains protected throughout the AI interaction lifecycle.
Allows healthcare institutions to fine-tune AI models on their own institutional protocols, medical specialties, and clinical guidelines. Enables the AI to learn organization-specific medical practices and terminology.
Analyzes healthcare research data to identify patterns, correlations, and insights. Supports clinical research by processing large datasets and generating research-relevant findings.
Runs AI models with optimized computational efficiency, reducing server costs and infrastructure requirements compared to large language models. Enables deployment in resource-constrained healthcare environments.
Generates evidence-based clinical recommendations and decision support based on patient data and medical knowledge. Assists healthcare providers in diagnostic and treatment decision-making.
Analyzes and extracts insights from clinical notes, medical records, and healthcare documentation. Identifies key clinical information, patterns, and relevant data points from unstructured medical text.
Manages different user roles and permissions within the healthcare AI system, ensuring that different staff members (doctors, nurses, administrators) have appropriate access levels to features and patient data.
Standardizes and normalizes medical terminology across different input formats and clinical contexts. Ensures consistent interpretation of medical terms, abbreviations, and clinical language.

Implements a Model Context Protocol server that bridges Perplexity's real-time search API with LLM applications, enabling structured queries that return synthesized answers with source citations. The MCP server translates tool-call requests into Perplexity API calls, handles response parsing, and returns results in a format compatible with Claude, LLaMA, and other MCP-aware LLMs. Uses JSON-RPC 2.0 message framing over stdio/HTTP transports to maintain stateless request-response semantics.
Unique: Exposes Perplexity's proprietary AI-synthesized search as a standardized MCP tool, allowing any MCP-compatible LLM to access real-time web answers without direct API integration — the MCP abstraction layer decouples Perplexity's API contract from the LLM client
vs alternatives: Simpler than building custom Perplexity integrations for each LLM framework because MCP standardizes the tool interface; more current than retrieval-augmented generation with static embeddings because it queries live web data
Registers Perplexity search as a callable tool within the MCP ecosystem by defining a JSON schema that describes input parameters, output format, and tool metadata. The server implements the MCP tools/list and tools/call RPC methods, allowing LLM clients to discover available tools, validate inputs against the schema, and invoke search with type-safe parameters. Uses JSON Schema Draft 7 for parameter validation and supports optional tool hints for LLM routing.
Unique: Implements MCP's standardized tool registration pattern rather than custom function-calling APIs, enabling any MCP-aware LLM to invoke Perplexity without client-specific adapters — the schema-driven approach decouples tool definition from LLM implementation details
vs alternatives: More portable than OpenAI function calling because MCP is LLM-agnostic; more discoverable than hardcoded tool lists because schema-based registration allows dynamic tool enumeration
HealthSage AI scores higher at 49/100 vs Perplexity at 40/100. However, Perplexity offers a free tier which may be better for getting started.

Implements a stateless MCP server that communicates via JSON-RPC 2.0 messages over stdio (for local integration) or HTTP (for remote access). Each request is independently routed to the appropriate handler (search, tool listing, etc.) without maintaining session state or connection context. The server uses a simple message dispatcher pattern to map RPC method names to handler functions, enabling lightweight deployment as a subprocess or containerized service.
Unique: Uses MCP's standard JSON-RPC 2.0 message framing with dual transport support (stdio and HTTP), allowing the same server code to run as a subprocess or remote service without transport-specific branching — the abstraction is at the message handler level, not the transport layer
vs alternatives: Simpler than REST APIs because JSON-RPC 2.0 provides standardized request/response semantics; more flexible than gRPC because it works over stdio and HTTP without code generation
Manages Perplexity API authentication by accepting an API key at server initialization and injecting it into all outbound Perplexity API requests via HTTP headers. The server handles credential validation (checking for missing or malformed keys) and propagates authentication errors back to the MCP client. Uses environment variables or configuration files to avoid hardcoding secrets in code.
Unique: Centralizes Perplexity API authentication at the MCP server level rather than requiring each client to manage credentials, reducing the attack surface by keeping API keys in a single process — the server acts as a credential broker between LLM clients and Perplexity
vs alternatives: More secure than embedding API keys in client code because credentials are isolated to the server process; simpler than OAuth because Perplexity uses API key authentication
Parses Perplexity API responses to extract synthesized answer text, source URLs, and citation metadata. The parser maps Perplexity's response schema (which may include nested citations, confidence scores, and related queries) into a normalized output format suitable for MCP clients. Handles edge cases like missing citations, malformed URLs, and partial responses from Perplexity.
Unique: Abstracts Perplexity's response schema behind a normalized output format, allowing MCP clients to remain agnostic to Perplexity API changes — the parser acts as a schema adapter layer
vs alternatives: More maintainable than raw API responses because schema changes are handled in one place; more transparent than black-box search because citations are explicitly extracted and returned
Implements error handling for Perplexity API failures (rate limits, timeouts, invalid responses) by catching exceptions, mapping them to MCP error codes, and returning structured error responses to the client. The server implements retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures and provides fallback responses when Perplexity is unavailable. Error messages include diagnostic information (HTTP status, error code, retry-after headers) to help clients decide whether to retry.
Unique: Implements MCP-compliant error responses with diagnostic metadata (retry-after, error codes) rather than raw API errors, allowing clients to make informed retry decisions — the error abstraction layer decouples Perplexity's error semantics from MCP clients
vs alternatives: More resilient than direct API calls because retry logic is built-in; more informative than generic error messages because diagnostic metadata is included
