Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security74
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1098 tokens (~219/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage96
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 88% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
How do I install the MedPrice AI MCP server?
MedPrice AI is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.medprice.ai/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
get_hospital_chargemaster_cost Get hospital chargemaster cost ~181
Lookup hospital chargemaster cost
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| code | string | yes | – |
| code_type | string | yes | Code system the chargemaster/billing code belongs to, e.g. APR-DRG, CDM, CPT, HCPCS, MS-DRG, RC. Hospitals may also support additional proprietary code types not listed here. |
| hospital_id | string | yes | Opaque hospital identifier from list_hospitals. |
| methodologies | array | – | Pricing methodologies to price, one result per entry in request order. Omit or pass an empty array to get a single aggregate result across all methodologies. |
| revision_id | string | – | Optional. A revision_id from list_hospitals' per-hospital revisions array, to price that specific past revision instead of the hospital's latest one. Omit to use the latest revision. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| found | boolean | – | True if at least one entry in results was found. |
| hospital | string | – | Hospital name returned by the MedPrice AI backend. |
| hospital_id | string | – | Opaque hospital identifier to use with get_hospital_chargemaster_cost or list_hospitals. |
| results | array | – | One entry per requested methodology, in request order - or, when the methodologies filter was left empty, exactly one aggregate entry. |
No examples provided.
list_code_types List billing code types ~63
Returns every distinct code_type (e.g. CPT, MS-DRG) with catalogued cost data, along with each type's distinct code count and total hospital reports. Unpaginated. Use this to discover which code systems have data before drilling into list_codes.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| code_types | array | – | One entry per distinct code_type present in the catalog, most code-rich first. Unpaginated. |
No examples provided.
list_codes List billing codes for a code type ~206
Returns every distinct code catalogued under a given code_type, paginated, with each code's raw chargemaster description and the number of hospitals reporting it. Use this to discover which codes exist under a code system (e.g. all CPT codes) before looking up prices with get_hospital_chargemaster_cost or list_hospital_code_costs.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| code_type | string | yes | Code system to list codes for, e.g. "CPT". From list_code_types. |
| page_size | integer | – | Maximum number of results to return. Defaults to 500, capped at 500. |
| page_token | string | – | Opaque token from a previous list_codes response. Omit for the first page. |
| sort | string | – | Ordering for the returned codes. CODE_SORT_UNSPECIFIED (default) sorts code-alphabetical. CODE_SORT_HOSPITAL_COUNT_DESC sorts most-hospitals-reporting first, for pre-sorted 'top codes' pages. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| codes | array | – | – |
| next_page_token | string | – | Opaque pagination token, empty when there are no more results. |
| total_count | integer | – | Total number of matching codes across all pages. |
No examples provided.
list_hospital_code_costs List hospital costs for a billing code ~351
Returns cost stats for every hospital with a matching chargemaster entry for a code_type/code. Use this instead of calling get_hospital_chargemaster_cost once per hospital when comparing prices for the same procedure across hospitals (e.g. "which hospital has the cheapest MS-DRG 652?"). Defaults to returning every matching hospital (currently at most a few hundred) in one call. If the response's next_page_token is non-empty, the result set was truncated: call this tool again passing that exact value as page_token to get the next page, and keep doing so until next_page_token is empty - do not stop after one page and conclude a hospital has no data for this code. The response's total_count field (total across all pages) can be compared against how many results you've accumulated so far as a completeness check.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| code | string | yes | – |
| code_type | string | yes | Code system the chargemaster/billing code belongs to, e.g. APR-DRG, CDM, CPT, HCPCS, MS-DRG, RC. Hospitals may also support additional proprietary code types not listed here. |
| methodology | string | – | Pricing methodology. Omit to aggregate across all methodologies. |
| page_size | integer | – | Maximum number of results to return. Defaults to 500 (covering every matching hospital in one call at the current registry size), capped at 500. |
| page_token | string | – | Opaque token from a previous list_hospital_code_costs response's next_page_token field. Omit for the first page. Do not pass any other value (e.g. an offset or cursor you construct yourself) here. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| next_page_token | string | – | Opaque pagination token, empty when there are no more results. |
| results | array | – | One entry per hospital with a matching chargemaster entry for this code (its latest revision only) - hospitals with no data for this code are omitted, not returned with found=false. |
| total_count | integer | – | Total number of matching results across all pages, not just this page's results.length. Compare against results.length (plus any prior pages) to confirm you have the complete set before concluding a… |
No examples provided.
list_hospitals List supported hospitals ~297
Returns the hospitals supported by the medprice.ai API, with their hospital_id (opaque handle), EIN, name, structured_locations (addresses with geocoded coordinates where available), last_updated_on, and revision history (with per-revision has_payer_data, revision_id, and added_at - when medprice itself ingested that revision, as opposed to revision_date's source-file-reported update date). Defaults to returning the entire registry (currently a few hundred hospitals) in one call. If the response's next_page_token is non-empty, the result set was truncated: call this tool again passing that exact value as page_token to get the next page, and keep doing so until next_page_token is empty - do not stop after one page and conclude the list is complete. The response's total_count field (total across all pages) can be compared against how many hospitals you've accumulated so far as a completeness check, e.g. before answering questions like 'does medprice.ai cover any hospitals in Iowa'.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| page_size | integer | – | Maximum number of hospitals to return. Defaults to 500 (covering the entire current registry in one call), capped at 500. |
