  ## New features

  * **ABHA login and profile tools in MCP SDK** — The Eka MCP SDK now includes tools for ABHA login and profile management. Agents can initiate login via mobile, Aadhaar, ABHA number, or PHR address, verify OTP, select from multiple ABHA profiles, and retrieve the ABHA card — all within an agent conversation. [View docs](/ai-tools/mcp-server/supported-tools)

  ## Updates

  * **MCP Server documentation restructured** — The MCP Server docs have been reorganized into separate [Remote MCP](/ai-tools/mcp-server/remote-mcp) and [Local MCP SDK](/ai-tools/mcp-server/local-mcp) guides, with per-client setup instructions and a comparison table, making it easier to choose the right deployment model and get connected faster. [View docs](/ai-tools/mcp-server/introduction)

  * **`_meta` field support in doctor discovery and availability tools** — The Eka MCP SDK now forwards `_meta` context from tool calls to the `doctor_discovery` and `doctor_availability` tools. This lets MCP clients pass additional metadata (such as UI hints or session context) when searching for doctors or checking appointment availability. [View docs](/ai-tools/mcp-server/supported-tools)

  * **More ophthalmology tables in prescription PDFs** — Prescription PDFs now include pachymetry, Amsler grid, and contact lens examination tables, expanding the range of eye-care data printed alongside the rest of the prescription. [View docs](/integrations/core-emr/prescription)

  * **MedAssist iOS background session handling** — MedAssist chat sessions on iOS now gracefully handle app backgrounding. When you switch away and return, the session reconnects automatically so conversations are not lost mid-interaction.

  ## Bug fixes

  * **MedAssist iOS error handling** — Fixed an issue where WebSocket errors during a MedAssist chat session could fail silently. Errors such as session timeouts and connection drops are now surfaced with clear messages, and the chat UI recovers gracefully.
