NPI Who MCP server
Look up US health care providers from AI assistants: by NPI, by name, by phone number, by what is near them, and by facility type and state. The server is hosted at https://npiwho.com/mcp (Model Context Protocol, Streamable HTTP). It is free and needs no key.
Every result that names a provider or facility starts with the public page's URL on npiwho.com, so an assistant can cite the page it answered from and send readers there for the detail.

Claude.ai and ChatGPT: add a custom connector with the URL above and no authentication.
A walkthrough with a real response, for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor: Give your AI assistant a lookup of every US doctor's NPI, payments and exclusion status (dev.to). The per-provider payment totals behind the tools are an open dataset: npiwho/us-provider-payments.
Tools
Try: "What do the public records say about NPI 1366487498?" or "Which hospices in Austin, Texas are non-profit?"
Data
Public federal records joined on the NPI: the NPPES registry (CMS), CMS Open Payments (program years 2019–2025), Medicare Part B and Part D (2024), the HHS-OIG exclusion list, CMS Doctors and Clinicians, Medicare facility enrollments, and HRSA's health center list. File dates are on the methodology page and in the data_sources tool.
None of it is a licence, credential or quality check. Providers can ask for their contact details to be withheld, and those requests apply to the tools exactly as to the pages.
Allowance
About 1,000 tool calls a day per client address, resetting at 00:00 UTC. Calls made through Claude.ai or ChatGPT come from the platform's addresses and share a larger pool. For more, or for bulk work, write to [email protected]. The per-provider payment totals are also an open dataset: npiwho/us-provider-payments.
