Open-source MCP app renders 3D anatomy inline in Claude, plus an Obsidian plugin
pitfa19 · reddit · 2026-10-23
The author open-sourced Anatomed, an MCP server with a UI widget. Ask Claude about "the sciatic nerve and what it runs near" and it calls showanatomyregion, which resolves a bounded set of structures; the widget then renders them in 3D inside the chat with a legend to toggle each one.
How it works:
- The tool returns structured content; Claude reads a ui:// resource for the single-file widget, which fetches only the needed GLB models (whitelisted via CSP).
- It never renders a whole body system — always a capped region, keeping it fast.
- The same viewer ships as an Obsidian plugin, which passed 2,000 downloads this week.
Try it via Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://anatomed-mcp.vercel.app/mcp; code is open on GitHub.
