We've just pushed some updates that'll make your FHIR life easier. Quick preview of what's new below:
Key Improvements
MCP FHIR Server – Early Access
Explore a new MCP module that lets you connect popular AI tools (like Claude and Cursor) to the Aidbox FHIR server using standardized endpoints.
More Flexible Subscriptions
You can now use resolve() in AidboxSubscriptionTopics fhirPathCriteria to filter subscriptions by linked resources – for example, only triggering on Encounters for specific patients.
AidboxTrigger for Automation
Run SQL automatically when FHIR resources change, so you can enforce business rules without extra middleware.
UI & Auth Updates
- Navigation is easier with breadcrumbs and special resource pages.
- You can set a default IdentityProvider in the Aidbox Client resource to skip the Aidbox login screen.
- When authorizing a SMART app, you'll now see which permissions (scopes) are being requested.
Aidbox Forms
- Template-based extraction for seamless QuestionnaireResponse → FHIR conversions
- Upgraded FHIRPath Expression Editor with patient pre-filling (name, gender, DOB)
- Option to hide form titles when embedding as a web component.
