Ignite UI MCP Server is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Medicare Coverage belongs to Developer Tools using remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. Select Ignite UI MCP Server when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Medicare Coverage when you require tools for developer tools.
Retrieve one Medicare LCD by document ID and version. Detailed LCD text requires a CMS license-agreement bearer token because documents may contain licensed AMA/ADA/AHA material; pass _licenseToken obtained directly from CMS after accepting those terms.
medicare_nca_search
Search National Coverage Analyses (NCAs) and Coverage Analyses for Labs (CALs), including open and completed CMS evidence reviews. An open analysis is a policy process, not a coverage decision.
medicare_nca_detail
Retrieve one CMS National Coverage Analysis by document ID, including request, issue, benefit category, dates, decision memo, and public-comment status when supplied by CMS.
medicare_recent_coverage_changes
Recently published or updated national Medicare coverage documents from CMS, including NCDs, NCAs, CALs, MEDCAC meetings, and technology assessments.
medicare_coverage_states
List CMS Coverage API state identifiers used to scope local Medicare coverage searches.
medicare_article_code_profile
Retrieve one CMS Medicare Coverage Article with its CPT/HCPCS codes and contractor records. Licensed AMA/ADA/AHA content requires a caller-provided CMS license token. Code inclusion describes billing guidance, not guaranteed coverage or payment.
medicare_local_coverage_variation
