The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

How do I install the DICOM Agent MCP server?
DICOM Agent runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx dicom-agent-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

What is the DICOM Agent MCP server?
DICOM Agent is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.arunmk-ms/dicom-agent-mcp. Search, retrieve, store, view, measure and de-identify DICOM images over DIMSE and DICOMweb. This page covers its PyPI package (dicom-agent-mcp).
Is the DICOM Agent MCP server safe to use?
DICOM Agent scores 55 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the DICOM Agent MCP server expose?
DICOM Agent exposes 16 tools: list_nodes, echo, search, get_metadata, retrieve, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,511 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the DICOM Agent MCP server still maintained?
DICOM Agent is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the DICOM Agent MCP server under?
DICOM Agent declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
