What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI agents call external tools. Instead of asking a human to upload files and click buttons, an AI agent can directly invoke conversion tools, validate data, and get structured results back — all programmatically.

Redix Engine

You talk to the AI in natural language. The AI calls MCP tools. MCP calls the REST API. The Redix engine does the conversion.

12 MCP Tools

Each tool is a structured function the AI agent can call with typed parameters and get structured JSON results back.

1validate_x12

Validate HIPAA X12 EDI for syntax errors, inter-segment rules, and balancing. Returns pass/fail ruling with error details.

X12 Input Auto-detect TX

How to Connect

Add the Redix MCP server to your AI client's configuration. Three popular options:

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "redix": { "command": "python3.11", "args": ["-m", "fastmcp", "run", "server.py"], "cwd": "/path/to/redix-mcp-server", "env": { "REDIX_API_BASE": "https://demo.redix.com", "REDIX_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

Claude Code

Add to your project's .mcp.json file:

.mcp.json { "mcpServers": { "redix": { "command": "python3.11", "args": ["-m", "fastmcp", "run", "server.py"], "cwd": "/path/to/redix-mcp-server", "env": { "REDIX_API_BASE": "https://demo.redix.com", "REDIX_API_KEY": "your-api-key" } } } }

MCP Inspector

Test tools interactively with the MCP Inspector web UI:

Terminal # Install dependencies pip install fastmcp httpx # Launch the inspector REDIX_API_BASE=https://demo.redix.com \ REDIX_API_KEY=your-api-key \ fastmcp dev server.py
