Japan Hospitals Accepting Foreign Patients MCP
An MCP server that relays the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) list of medical institutions in Japan accepting foreign patients. It allows agents to look up institutions by prefecture, city, language, or facility type, and tracks changes to the list over time. The data is processed by MK Career Planning and is not official medical advice.
Endpoint and access
No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Which medical institutions were added to, changed in, removed from or returned to MHLW's list of medical institutions accepting foreign patients since a date (this service's own record of list versions; MHLW keeps none)? Optional prefecture and change_type filters. Free window: last 30 days. A public-service listing, not an enforcement list: removals are dated, and no reason is inferred.
