Connects Claude to the CMS National Provider Identifier registry, the official database of healthcare providers in the U.S. You get one tool, get_provider, which fetches a provider record by their 10-digit NPI. This is the go-to when you're building healthcare workflows that need to verify credentials, look up taxonomy codes, or pull practice location details. It's part of the Pipeworx gateway, so you can add it standalone or bundle it with their 673+ other data sources. Runs over streamable HTTP, so no local processes to manage. Useful for compliance checks, provider directories, or any app that needs authoritative healthcare practitioner data.
CMS NPI Registry MCP
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 673+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_provider | Fetch a provider by 10-digit NPI. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"npi-registry": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/npi-registry/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 673+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Npi Registry data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
