disease_names
ActiveTool of mcp-clinicaltables
declared in 0.1.0
"UMLS code for [disease]" / "clinical name for rare disease [X]" / "look up a syndrome by name" / "find CUI for [condition]" — search the NLM Disease Names vocabulary (UMLS-derived, broader than `conditions`; includes rare diseases, syndromes, clinical terminology, ~12k entries). Returns UMLS CUIs (e.g., C0011860) plus canonical names. Use when you need clinical-grade vocabulary linkage rather than patient-friendly labels.
