MCP server for CostKits: live healthcare procedure cost estimates and provider pricing.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Costkits MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. MCP server for CostKits: live healthcare procedure cost estimates and provider pricing.
Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients access to live US healthcare cost data.
CostKits is a healthcare cost-transparency platform built by John Caruso, FSA, MAAA, a healthcare actuary with more than 20 years of experience in insurance pricing, medical billing systems, and healthcare cost analytics.
npm on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Configuration is passed through the environment: COSTKITS_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by costkits; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
