Build your integration with Claude Code or Cursor
Let an AI coding tool write your Anpheros integration: the sandbox over MCP, a project rules file for medical data and a ready prompt to copy, for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or any assistant.
Let an AI coding tool write your Anpheros integration, with your hands on the wheel. You give it three things: the sandbox through MCP (so it sees real responses before writing code), the documentation as Markdown, and a prompt with the rules that matter for medical data. Below are the setup and a prompt to copy, for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or any assistant that reads files.
In short:
| Step | What you do | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Key | Get a free sandbox key and put it in ANPHEROS_KEY |
1 min |
| 2. MCP | Connect the tool to https://platform.anpheros.com/mcp with that key |
1 min |
| 3. Rules file | Add the project rules below to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or .cursor/rules |
1 min |
| 4. Prompt | Paste the prompt and describe what you are building | 1 min |
| 5. Review | Read the plan, run the tests in the sandbox, then commit | yours |
1. Get a sandbox key
Follow Your first API call in 2 minutes and keep the key in an environment variable, never in a file the tool commits:
export ANPHEROS_KEY=sk_test_your_key_here
2. Connect the tool to the sandbox through MCP
With MCP the assistant can list sandbox patients, search FHIR, read a patient context and validate a resource before it writes code, so the code matches real answers. Sandbox keys only reach synthetic data; live keys are refused on MCP.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http anpheros-fhir https://platform.anpheros.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $ANPHEROS_KEY"
Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json in the project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json)
{"mcpServers": {"anpheros-fhir": {"url": "https://platform.anpheros.com/mcp",
"headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer ${env:ANPHEROS_KEY}"}}}}
VS Code, Claude Desktop and the Claude and ChatGPT connectors: see MCP server.
3. Add the project rules
Save this as CLAUDE.md (Claude Code), AGENTS.md (many tools) or a rule in .cursor/rules, in the
root of your repository:
# Anpheros integration rules
- API: REST https://platform.anpheros.com/v1, FHIR R4 https://platform.anpheros.com/fhir/R4.
Reference: https://developers.anpheros.com/docs. Guides as Markdown: https://developers.anpheros.com/guides/<slug>.md
(first-api-call, first-write, oauth-app, first-webhook, troubleshooting, go-live). All guides: https://developers.anpheros.com/llms-full.txt
- Key: read it from the ANPHEROS_KEY environment variable. Never write a key in code, tests, logs or commits.
API keys stay on the server; an app acting for a person uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE (guide: oauth-app).
- Before writing code that calls an endpoint, call it once in the sandbox (MCP tools or curl) and use the real response shape.
- Every create sends an Idempotency-Key and an author_type (patient, practitioner, device, import or ai).
- Codes: LOINC for observations, ICD-10 for conditions, UCUM units. Do not invent codes; use lookup_code if unsure.
- Handle errors from the response body (error.type and error.message, or OperationOutcome on /fhir/R4), retry 429 after
Retry-After, and log the Anpheros-Request-Id. Fixes: https://developers.anpheros.com/guides/troubleshooting.md
- Webhooks: verify Anpheros-Signature (HMAC-SHA256 over "<t>." + raw body, 300 s tolerance) before parsing.
- The app does not diagnose and does not recommend medicines or doses. It stores and shows what clinicians and the person record.
- Use only synthetic sandbox data in development and tests. Never paste real patient data into the assistant.
4. The prompt
Paste this into the tool, then replace the last line with what you are building:
You are helping me build an integration with the Anpheros health-data platform.
Read the project rules in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md first, then https://developers.anpheros.com/guides/first-api-call.md
and the guides it links to that match my goal.
1. Use the anpheros-fhir MCP tools to look at the sandbox: list_patients, then get_patient_context and search_fhir
for one patient, so you know the real data and response shapes. Tell me what you found in 5 lines.
2. Propose a short plan: files, functions, which endpoints, which OAuth scopes if the app acts for a person,
which webhook events if it needs to react to changes. Wait for my OK.
3. Write the code in small steps, with the key from ANPHEROS_KEY. After each step, run it against the sandbox
and show me the request and the response. If a call fails, use the troubleshooting guide before changing code.
4. Add tests that run against the sandbox with synthetic patients only, and a README section on how to run them.
My goal: <describe your app, the language and the framework>
On the MCP server the same flow is also a ready prompt, Build my integration with the Anpheros
API: in Claude Code type / and pick it from the anpheros-fhir prompts.
5. Review before you commit
- Search the diff for
sk_test_andsk_live_: no key may be in the code. - Run the tests against the sandbox and read one request and response yourself.
- Check every write has an
Idempotency-Keyand anauthor_type. - When it works, go on with the steps: first write, OAuth app, webhooks, go live.
Frequently asked questions
Does Anpheros work with Claude Code, Cursor and ChatGPT?
Yes. Any tool that speaks MCP over HTTP can use the sandbox with a key, and any assistant can read the guides as Markdown or llms-full.txt. Anpheros has no official partnership with these vendors; it is the data layer your code calls.
Is it safe to give an AI tool my key?
Give it only a sandbox key, through an environment variable. Sandbox keys reach synthetic patients only, and live keys are refused on the MCP server.
Which language should I ask for?
Any. There are SDKs for TypeScript and Dart; Python and other languages use plain HTTPS calls, as in the guides.
Ask your AI
Paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code. Your assistant reads this guide and adapts it to your code.
Read https://developers.anpheros.com/guides/build-with-claude-code.md and help me plan and build my integration with the Anpheros API step by step. Use the Anpheros sandbox (base URL https://platform.anpheros.com) with my API key from the ANPHEROS_KEY environment variable, never written in the code. Give me complete, runnable code, the response I should expect, and how to fix the errors in https://developers.anpheros.com/guides/troubleshooting.md if a call fails.Open in ClaudeOpen in ChatGPTThis guide as MarkdownBuild the whole integration with an AI coding tool
