Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to nursinghomedatabase.com, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

A public remote MCP server that lets an assistant search, compare and summarize US certified skilled nursing facilities and their CMS ownership data.

What you can do: Search and filter certified nursing facilities by address, city, state, ZIP, ownership type, star rating, abuse flag or Special Focus status, with sorting and paging, and open one facility's full CMS detail record by provider number or slug. Compare up to 25 facilities side by side and compute national or grouped statistics (mean, min, max, optional median) for nurse hours, turnover, ratings, beds and fines. Look up who owns or manages a facility, search owners by name and open an owner's portfolio of facilities. Track field-level changes for one facility between two CMS monthly snapshots. List available CMS monthly snapshot dates and report data freshness, and list distinct CMS field values
When to use it: Useful when comparing or shortlisting nursing homes for a location, checking staffing hours, turnover, inspection scores, fines or abuse flags, researching ownership and chains, or tracking month-to-month changes in a facility's CMS data.
Requirements: A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no authentication, API keys or environment variables are declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed. Data comes from CMS monthly snapshots, and the server notes a limit of 60 requests per minute.

Before you install

Read-only lookups; the tools do not appear to write, send or delete data. Queries include addresses, cities and owner names, which are sent to the third-party service. Results are CMS-derived and the README warns that 0% or 100% turnover and near-zero nurse hours can be reporting artifacts, that means are facility-equal rather than bed-weighted, and that a facility missing from a snapshot is not evidence of closure.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Nursing Home Database in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.nursinghomedatabase%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

MCP endpoint

Send a standard MCP session: initialize → notifications/initialized (optional; may receive HTTP 204) → tools/list → tools/call as needed.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`search_facilities`	Finds certified SNFs near an address (or by name/city/state/ownership type) so you can shortlist more than three homes using hours, turnover, and inspection scores
`search_facilities_by_ownership`	Same search, with CMS `ownership` type required (For profit / Non profit / Government, or an exact value from `list_distinct_values`)
`summarize_facilities`	National or grouped stats (n, mean, min, max; optional median) for nurse hours, turnover, ratings, beds, fines. Prefer this over paging `search_facilities`
`get_facility`	Opens one home by CMS provider number or site slug, with the same hours, turnover, inspection, beds, and penalty fields as search
`compare_facilities`	Same schema for up to 25 CCNs/slugs — prefer this over looping `get_facility` (MCP is 60 req/min)
`get_facility_changes`	Field-level diff of one home across two CMS monthly files. Defaults to the latest file versus the prior snapshot. Not owner names
`get_facility_ownership`	Lists who owns a home and in what role
`search_owners`	Finds nursing-home owners by name
`get_owner`	Opens an owner’s portfolio of certified SNFs
`list_file_dates`	Lists CMS monthly snapshot dates in the database so you can look at a prior month
`list_distinct_values`	Lists distinct CMS values and counts for a ProviderInfo field (`ownership`, `state`, `sffstatus`, `chainname`, …)
`get_data_freshness`	Reports when the latest CMS file was published and how many rows it contains

Exact inputSchema objects are returned in tools/list.

Historical months (`filedate`)

By default every lookup uses the latest CMS monthly file. To retrieve a prior month:

Call list_file_dates (returns current, filedates newest first, and known_gaps for unpublished months).
Pass one of those dates as filedate (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM) on search_facilities, search_facilities_by_ownership, summarize_facilities, compare_facilities, get_facility, get_facility_ownership, search_owners, get_owner, or list_distinct_values. get_facility_changes does not take filedate; pass from and to.

CMS snapshots are stored as the first of the month (YYYY-MM-01). A value like 2026-07 or 2026-07-15 is normalized to 2026-07-01. Unknown dates return a validation error — call list_file_dates rather than guessing.

`search_facilities`

Finds certified SNFs near an address so you can shortlist more than three homes using hours, turnover, and inspection scores. You can also search by name, city, state, or ZIP.

Parameter	Type	Description
`q`	string	Free-text facility name
`address`	string	Origin address for distance search (e.g. `150 Corporate Woods Drive, Magnolia, TX 77354`)
`city`	string	City filter
`state`	string	State filter
`zip`	string	ZIP code filter
`radius_miles`	number	Straight-line radius in miles; defaults to `25` when `address` is provided
`min_overall_rating`	integer	Minimum CMS overall star rating (already on REST; also on this MCP tool)
`max_overall_rating`	integer	Maximum CMS overall star rating (already on REST; also on this MCP tool)
`abuse_icon`	string	Filter by CMS abuse icon (`Y` / `N`, `true` / `false`) (already on REST; also on this MCP tool)
`sffstatus`	string	When set, keep homes that have a CMS Special Focus Facility (or candidate) status (already on REST; also on this MCP tool)
`ownership`	string	CMS ownership type (`ProviderInfo.ownership`). Case-insensitive. Prefixes `For profit`, `Non profit`, and `Government` match that kind. Call `list_distinct_values` with `field=ownership` for the 13 exact values
`sort`	string	Sort key (see Sort keys below)
`limit`	integer	Max results
`offset`	integer	Pagination offset
`filedate`	string	Optional CMS monthly snapshot from `list_file_dates` (defaults to the latest month)

If the supplied address cannot be resolved, the API returns an address-specific validation error.

Facility payload (search and detail)

search_facilities (each items[] row) and get_facility (facility) return the same richer object, so a shortlist does not require a detail call per home.

Identity, location, and CMS star ratings are included (provnum, web, provname, lbn, address, city, state, zip, latitude, longitude, phone, overall_rating, survey_rating, quality_rating, staffing_rating, public urls). Decision fields use CMS keys:

Key	Meaning
`tothrd`	Total nurse hours per resident per day (HPRD)
`rnhrd`	RN hours per resident per day
`totalnumberofnursestaffhoursperresidentperdayontheweekend`	Weekend total nurse HPRD
`registerednursehoursperresidentperdayontheweekend`	Weekend RN HPRD
`totalnursingstaffturnover`	Nursing staff turnover
`registerednurseturnover`	RN turnover
`numberofadministratorswhohaveleftthenursinghome`	Administrators who have left the nursing home
`weighted_all_cycles_score`	Weighted health-inspection score (all cycles)
`bedcert`	Certified beds
`restot`	Residents in certified beds
`occupancy`	Occupancy (residents / certified beds)
`fine_tot`	Total fines (dollars)
`fine_cnt`	Number of fines
`abuse_icon`	CMS abuse icon
`sffstatus`	Special Focus Facility status
`chain_id`	Chain identifier
`chain_name`	Chain name
`ownership`	CMS ownership type (e.g. `For profit - Corporation`)
`oldsurvey`	Flag (`Y`/`N`): most recent standard health inspection is more than two years old
`cycle_1_survey_date`	Date of the most recent standard health inspection

Distance (straight-line miles, not driving minutes)

When search_facilities is called with address:

distance_miles is straight-line Haversine miles from that origin to the facility.
distance is kept as an alias of the same number.

These values are not driving minutes or road miles. For driving minutes, use maps.google_dir / maps.apple_dir on the row, or pass the coordinates to a mapping tool.

Sort keys

Pass sort on search_facilities (and on GET /api/v1/nh/facilities). Default is overall_rating (stars, descending) when sort is omitted. Use sort=distance for nearest-first when searching from an address.

`sort` value	Alias	Order
`overall_rating`		Stars descending (higher better)
`survey_rating`		Stars descending
`quality_rating`		Stars descending
`staffing_rating`		Stars descending
`distance`		Miles ascending (nearest first)
`tothrd`	`total_nurse_hours`	Hours descending (higher better)
`totalnursingstaffturnover`	`nurse_turnover`	Turnover ascending (lower better)
`weighted_all_cycles_score`	`survey_score`	Inspection score ascending (lower better)

`search_facilities_by_ownership`

Same result schema as search_facilities, with ownership required. Use this when the question is “find government / nonprofit / for-profit homes in …”. Combine with state, city, zip, or address. Call list_distinct_values with field=ownership first for the exact CMS strings.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`ownership`	string	yes	CMS ownership type (prefix or exact value)
`state`	string	no	Two-letter state
`city`	string	no	City filter
`zip`	string	no	ZIP filter
`address`	string	no	Origin address for distance search
`filedate`	string	no	CMS monthly snapshot from `list_file_dates`

`summarize_facilities`

Aggregate numeric CMS ProviderInfo fields across certified SNFs. Prefer this over paging search_facilities for national or grouped stats (government vs private hours, state means, etc.). Means are facility-equal (not bed-weighted). Facilities missing a metric are excluded from that metric’s n/mean/min/max only — values are not imputed. Not causal. Not a substitute for get_facility on a named home.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`metrics`	array of strings	yes	1–20 keys: `tothrd`, `rnhrd`, `weekend_tothrd`, `weekend_rnhrd`, `totalnursingstaffturnover`, `registerednurseturnover`, `weighted_all_cycles_score`, `overall_rating`, `survey_rating`, `staffing_rating`, `quality_rating`, `bedcert`, `restot`, `fine_tot`, `fine_cnt`, `occupancy`. Synonyms: `total_nurse_hours`, `nurse_turnover`, `rn_turnover`, `survey_score`
`group_by`	string	no	`ownership`, `ownership_kind` (Government / For profit / Non profit), `state`, `overall_rating`, `staffing_rating`, `survey_rating`, `quality_rating`, `sffstatus`, `abuse_icon`. Omit for one national (or filter-scoped) row
`ownership`	string	no	Same prefix/exact filter as `search_facilities`
`state`	string	no	Two-letter state
`city`	string	no	Requires `state`
`zip`	string	no	ZIP filter
`abuse_icon`	string	no	Same as `search_facilities`
`sffstatus`	string	no	Same as `search_facilities`
`min_overall_rating`	integer	no	1–5
`max_overall_rating`	integer	no	1–5
`include_median`	boolean	no	Default false. When true, each stats object includes `median`
`filedate`	string	no	CMS monthly snapshot from `list_file_dates`

REST: GET /api/v1/nh/facilities/summary?metrics=tothrd,rnhrd&group_by=ownership_kind&include_median=true

Response groups[] each have group_key, group_label, facilities_in_group, and stats keyed by canonical metric (n, mean, min, max, optional median, unit). facilities_in_scope is the filter-matched count; per-metric n is the non-null count in that group. Unknown metric keys return invalid_metric with the allowed list.

0% / 100% turnover and near-zero HPRD can be reporting artifacts.

`list_distinct_values`

Lists distinct CMS ProviderInfo values and row counts for a field in the active monthly snapshot. Omit field to see the allowed field catalog. field=city requires state.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`field`	string	no	`ownership`, `state`, `sffstatus`, `abuse_icon`, `certification`, `chainname`, `overall_rating`, …
`state`	string	no	Two-letter state (required for `city`)
`filedate`	string	no	CMS monthly snapshot from `list_file_dates`

`compare_facilities`

Same decision fields as search_facilities, for up to 25 CMS provider numbers or web slugs, on one snapshot. Ids past 25 are dropped. This is not a month-to-month diff; use get_facility_changes for that.

`get_facility`

Opens one home by CMS provider number (provnum) or site slug. The facility object matches a search_facilities row (hours, turnover, inspection, beds, penalties, maps links).

`get_facility_changes`

Diff one home across two CMS monthly snapshots. Omit from and to to compare the latest file with the previous snapshot. changes is field-level: stars, nurse hours, turnover, weighted inspection score, the CMS abuse icon, Special Focus status, ownership type (for-profit / nonprofit / government, not the owner’s name), fines, beds, residents, and occupancy. A home missing from one of the two files is found.from or found.to false. That is not a closure.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	yes	CMS provider number or web slug
`from`	string	no	Earlier filedate (`YYYY-MM-DD` or `YYYY-MM`). Omit to use the snapshot before `to`
`to`	string	no	Later filedate. Omit to use the latest CMS file

`get_facility_ownership`

Lists who owns a home and in what role.

`search_owners`

Finds nursing-home owners by name.

`get_owner`

Opens an owner’s portfolio of certified SNFs by web_owner slug.

`list_file_dates`

Lists CMS monthly snapshot dates available in the database. No parameters. Returns current, filedates (newest first), and known_gaps for unpublished months.

`get_data_freshness`

Reports latest CMS source dataset dates and row counts. No parameters. For a prior month, call list_file_dates and pass filedate to the other tools.
