Claude Desktop with MCP provides the richest experience — native tool access, no URL fetching, full API capabilities.

1

Install Claude Desktop

Download and install from claude.ai/download

2

Install Desktop Commander

Open Claude Desktop and paste:

Please install Desktop Commander MCP server so you can help me with file operations.

Claude will guide you through the installation. Restart Claude when done.

3

Install Inou Bridge

After restarting, paste this in Claude:

Please set up the Inou medical imaging bridge:

1. Detect my OS and architecture

2. Download the correct bridge:
   - Mac Apple Silicon: https://inou.com/download/inou_bridge_darwin_arm64
   - Mac Intel: https://inou.com/download/inou_bridge_darwin_amd64
   - Windows 64-bit: https://inou.com/download/inou_bridge_win_amd64.exe

3. Save it to:
   - Mac: ~/bin/inou_bridge (create ~/bin if needed, make executable)
   - Windows: %USERPROFILE%\inou\inou_bridge.exe (create folder if needed)

4. Edit Claude config:
   - Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   - Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

5. Add to mcpServers (keep any existing entries like desktop-commander):

"inou": {
  "command": "BRIDGE_PATH",
  "args": ["--server=https://inou.com", "--account=YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN"]
}

Replace BRIDGE_PATH with the actual path where you saved the bridge.

Tell me when done.

Restart & Test

Quit Claude Desktop completely, reopen, then paste:

List my available dossiers using the inou bridge, then show imaging studies for the first one.

You should see your dossier(s) and any imaging studies.

Grok can browse the web and access your health data directly through our API. No installation needed.

Quick Start

Copy this and paste it into Grok:

Fetch https://inou.com/api/docs to see the API documentation.
Then fetch https://inou.com/api/dossiers?token=YOUR_ACCOUNT_TOKEN to list my dossiers.
If there is more than one dossier, ask me which one to work with before proceeding.
Help me explore my health data - imaging studies, genome variants, and lab results.

IMPORTANT:
- Allow 3 seconds for API responses before assuming failure.
- When sharing image links, use the exact image_url from responses.
- This is real medical data. NEVER hallucinate. Only describe what you actually see.

What Grok can do

Once connected, ask Grok to:

List all your imaging studies, genome data, and lab results
Show series within a specific study
Fetch and analyze individual slices
Compare images across different sequences (T1, T2, FLAIR)
Navigate to specific anatomical regions
Query genome variants by gene, category, or rsid
Review medication responses and health risks
Track lab values over time

See the full API documentation for all available endpoints.

Not recommended for medical imaging due to elevated hallucination risk in our testing.

✗

Why not ChatGPT?

Medical imaging requires absolute accuracy. In our testing, ChatGPT fabricated information even when correct data was clearly provided. We cannot recommend it for analyzing health data where errors have real consequences.

Recommended alternatives

Use Claude Desktop for the best experience with native tool access, or Grok for web-based access with no installation.

Other AI assistants can access your data through our web API, though capabilities vary.

⚠

Gemini

Gemini's web browsing is currently restricted and may not be able to fetch inou.com URLs directly. Workarounds:

Copy API responses manually and paste them into Gemini
Use Google AI Studio with function calling
Consider using Claude Desktop or Grok instead

Build Your Own

Our API is simple REST + JSON. See the API documentation for endpoints and authentication.
