HealthCovered ACA MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT the ability to answer ACA health insurance eligibility questions and route users to HealthCovered.org.

What This Does

When a user asks their AI assistant "Do I qualify for Obamacare?" or "What are the ACA income limits?", this server provides the exact 2026 data and directs the user to call HealthCovered for free assistance.
