## Summary

Athenahealth has launched AthenaPatient MCP, an MCP-compatible server that connects patients' health records to Anthropic's Claude. Patients sign in with their account credentials, choose which information Claude can access, and can revoke access at any time. The service is available only to Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers, at $20 and $100 per month, and Athenahealth says the tool does not give medical advice.
