No status page, no published rate limits and no idempotency keys were found, and the OpenAPI file behind the reference is not published.\n\n**Redox.** Redox connects to EHRs and clinical networks behind a FHIR API, with signed-JWT OAuth keys, a 99.95 per cent SLA, a HackerOne bug bounty and a hosted MCP server for managing integrations. The MCP server exposes 107 tools at once with write and delete tools unconfirmed, OpenAPI files sit behind login, and the sandbox plan costs $15,000 a year.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Medblocks\n\n1. Connect with `claude mcp add --transport http medblocks https://app.medblocks.com/mcp` and sign in, or send a workspace API key as a Bearer token from a backend\n2. Ask the person before calling `disconnect_health_system` or `delete_person`. Both are permanent\n3. Wait for the connection webhook or check connection status before reading records. Pulls run in the background after the patient approves\n4. Branch on `error.code`, not the message, and wait the `Retry-After` seconds on a 429\n5. Use a Sandbox workspace and the Synthetic Hospital (password `demopass`) for tests. Sandbox keys cannot reach production sources\n\n### Redox\n\n1. Name the environment in every MCP prompt and try configuration changes in staging first, as Redox advises\n2. Stay under 7,500 requests per IP per five minutes, and back off exponentially on 5XX\n3. Sign the token request with the private key whose public key is registered on the OAuth API key\n4. Ask an organisation owner to enable the MCP server before connecting a client\n5. Treat log payloads returned through MCP as PHI and as untrusted text\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Medblocks or Redox?\n\nRedox scores 58.3 (C) on agent readiness against Medblocks's 52.7 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Medblocks leads on schema \u0026 documentation, agent ergonomics, payments \u0026 pricing and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Medblocks and Redox need an API key?\n\nMedblocks takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Redox uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Medblocks and Redox without installing anything?\n\nYes. Medblocks has a hosted endpoint at https://app.medblocks.com/mcp and Redox at https://api.redoxengine.com/mcp.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medblocks-vs-redox.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medblocks-vs-redox.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"medblocks\", \"b\": \"redox\"}`.
