Loa Healthcare Pricing is an MCP server with 12 tools an agent can call, among them explain_price_sources, get_entity_prices, get_entity_profile. It answers at https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 5 September 2026; the last check, on 18 October 2026, succeeded.
Search source-labeled hospital prices, CPT codes, providers, and healthcare cost estimates.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
explain_price_sources | Explain the source labels, provenance, confidence, and caveats behind Loa prices for one hospital or provider entity. Use this when an agent needs to tell a user why prices are MRF-published, Loa-reviewed, estimated, or unavailable. Inputs: slug, cpt_codes, limit |
get_entity_prices | Return source-labeled prices for a Loa hospital or provider entity slug using the shared resolver. Use search_entities first if the slug is unknown. Results include provenance and explicit unavailable rows for requested CPT codes with no cu Inputs: slug, cpt_codes, limit |
get_entity_profile | Return one Loa hospital or provider entity profile by exact slug or entity_pages.id. Includes profile-field provenance so agents can distinguish source-file fields from Loa-reviewed overrides. Inputs: slug_or_id, entity_type |
get_hospital_pricing | Hospital-specific pricing tool for source-labeled Loa runtime data. Returns source-labeled Published MRF prices and Loa Verified Provider Price overlays for CPT codes, including cash/self-pay and payer-negotiated rates when available. Use t Inputs: hospital_ids, cpt_codes |
get_market_pricing | Preferred benchmark pricing tool. Returns market cash/self-pay and insurance-negotiated price summaries for CPT codes, aggregated from Loa's hospital price-transparency dataset. Use this when the user wants source-grounded regional or natio Inputs: cpt_codes, state, zip_code |
get_pricing_estimate | Quick directional estimate for one or more CPT codes. Prefers observed national market pricing derived from hospital price-transparency data, but falls back to a broad CPT-range heuristic when observed pricing is missing. Use this for a fas Inputs: procedure_codes, zip_code |
search_cpt_codes | Canonical code-lookup tool for this server. Search Loa's CPT/HCPCS index using exact codes, clinical terms, or consumer phrases. Use this first when the user does not already know the CPT code, before calling pricing tools. Inputs: query, specialty, category, limit |
search_entities | Search Loa runtime hospital and provider entity pages by name or state. Use this before get_entity_prices when the user names a hospital or provider but does not know the exact Loa slug. Inputs: query, entity_type, state, limit |
search_hospitals | Search Loa's hospital directory by name or location and return hospital IDs plus address details. Use the returned hospital_ids with get_hospital_pricing to fetch source-labeled Published MRF and reviewed overlay prices. Inputs: state, city, zip_code, name, limit |
search_providers | Search public CMS NPI Registry data for clinicians and healthcare organizations by specialty, name, or location. Use returned provenance to understand the registry source and scope. Use this for provider lookup, not pricing. Inputs: specialty, location, name, limit |
submit_entity_update_request | Submit a profile, listing, or price correction for Loa review without requiring a provider portal. This is the only mutating provider/entity tool. It requires OAuth, captures submitter and source evidence, records linked-provider status whe Inputs: entity_page_id, entity_slug, entity_type, submitter_email, submitter_name, submitter_organization |
suggest_procedures | Advisory helper that suggests likely CPT codes from a plain-English medical need. Uses Loa heuristics plus AI and is not authoritative or diagnostic. Use only when the user cannot name the procedure, then confirm candidates with search_cpt_ Inputs: query |

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://www.loacare.com/api/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
