Rate limits, a `RateLimit` header and a 99.99 per cent SLA are published, AccessPolicy resources allow read-only clients, and an official MCP server sits in the registry. Its main tool can delete records with no annotation, the status page could not be read, and the privacy policy dates from 2022.\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### Medplum\n\n1. Use a ClientApplication with an AccessPolicy limited to the resources the task needs, and set `readonly` where no writes are needed\n2. Read the `RateLimit` header and wait for the reset time after a 429. Writes cost 100 quota points, searches 20 and reads 1\n3. Create patients with conditional create (`If-None-Exist`) or upsert on an identifier so a retry doesn't make a duplicate\n4. Pass paths to `fhir-request` relative to the FHIR R4 base, with no leading slash or `/fhir/R4` prefix\n5. Use `Prefer: respond-async` for large bundles. Operations inside the background job don't count against the quota\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, Medplum or Redox?\n\nMedplum scores 68.7 (B) on agent readiness against Redox's 58.3 (C), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Redox leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Medplum and Redox need an API key?\n\nBoth use an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Medplum and Redox without installing anything?\n\nYes. Medplum has a hosted endpoint at https://api.medplum.com/mcp/stream and Redox at https://api.redoxengine.com/mcp.\n\n### Are Medplum and Redox open source?\n\nMedplum is open source (Apache 2.0 for the server, SDKs and apps in medplum/medplum. The hosted service at api.medplum.com runs under Medplum's terms of service). No open-source release is listed for Redox.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medplum-vs-redox.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/medplum-vs-redox.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"medplum\", \"b\": \"redox\"}`.
