CostKits MCP Server

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients access to live US healthcare cost data.

CostKits provides procedure cost estimates, patient out-of-pocket calculations, provider pricing, and insurance coverage rules using hospital-transparency and CMS data rather than model memory.

Ask healthcare cost questions in natural language. CostKits supplies the structured data and calculations.

A hosted Model Context Protocol server. No API key, no signup. It powers the CostKits app in ChatGPT and works with any MCP client that supports remote servers.

What can an agent do with CostKits?

Ask questions such as:

  • "What would a colonoscopy cost in Connecticut?"
  • "How much would I owe if I have $500 left on my deductible and 20% coinsurance?"
  • "Compare MRI prices from providers near Dallas."
  • "Does this procedure commonly require prior authorization?"
  • "Resolve 'knee scan' to the correct procedure and estimate the cost."

The MCP server selects the appropriate CostKits API tools and returns structured healthcare cost data the model can explain to the user.

Connect

Remote (recommended): add the server URL in any client that supports remote MCP servers (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and others):

https://mcp.costkits.com/mcp

Claude Desktop via npm: the package is a thin shim that forwards to the hosted server.

      "args": ["-y", "@costkits/costkits-mcp"]

Privacy and data handling

These tools do not need patient names, member IDs, dates of birth, or medical-record identifiers, and you should not send them. Requests are logged without free text, only the tool, procedure, and state.
