What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard created by Anthropic to securely connect AI agents to external systems and data.
The Production-Ready Layer
Caren uses MCP to package care pathways, integrations, and governance into a production-ready layer, ensuring seamless interoperability across the clinical ecosystem.
Architecture
Protocol Version 1.0
Architecture Overview
How data flows securely through the Model Context Protocol
AI Agent
Caren Assistant initiating a request for real-time patient context or analysis.
MCP Server
The secure bridge managing context, tool permissions, and protocol transformation.
Clinical Data
Connected systems including EMR, Lab Results, and historical Patient Records.
How it works
Caren provides the abstraction layer between complex clinical logic and modern AI agent infrastructure.
Developer Ready
Universal MCP Standard support
Connect data sources
Securely integrate your EHR, data lake, or internal patient database through our encrypted connectors. We handle the semantic mapping to care protocols automatically.
Select or upload a validated care pathway
Choose from our clinical library or upload your institutional protocol files. Our system validates the logic for agent safety and operational constraints.
Deploy the MCP server endpoint for agents
One-click deployment transforms pathways into Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Your agents can now query, follow, and update tracks with clinical precision.
Monitor, audit, and improve outcomes
Real-time monitoring provides full visibility. Track clinical adherence and patient satisfaction through a single pane of glass, then optimize pathways based on real-world data.
