Costkits MCP Overview

The costkits-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to the CostKits API for US healthcare cost and coverage data. It resolves free-text procedures, estimates geographic pricing, calculates patient responsibility, finds providers, retrieves coverage rules, and analyzes billing items. Use it when an agent needs structured estimates based on hospital-transparency and CMS data rather than model memory. The server uses stdio transport and requires a CostKits API key for all tools except the connectivity demo.

Primary Use Cases for Costkits MCP:
  • Estimate a procedure price by geography
  • Calculate patient responsibility from benefit inputs
  • Compare observed negotiated provider prices
  • Check coverage and prior-authorization rules
