# US healthcare provider facts — MCP server & SDK (xcircl)
**Verified U.S. regulated-care provider data for your app or AI. Source-linked, timestamped.**

A **compliance-aware GLP-1 provider data API for AI agents, clinic finders,
and diligence teams** — query US regulated-care providers (GLP-1 /
weight-management clinics today; more verticals coming) in natural language
or function calls, as an **MCP server** for Claude/ChatGPT or a **TypeScript
SDK** for your own product. The free tier works with **no API key**; verified
compliance signals and cash prices unlock with one.
> Counts in the badges above are pulled live from
> [`/api/v1/coverage/`](https://xcircl.com/api/v1/coverage/) — the numbers
> update as the dataset grows.
## 30-second quickstart (no key, no install)
```bash
curl -sL "https://xcircl.com/api/v1/providers/?vertical=glp1&state=TX&limit=3"
```
```jsonc
{
"tier": "free",
"notice": "Free tier: identity fields only. Verified compliance signals, price and timestamps require a key — see /developers/pricing/.",
"pagination": { "total": 15, "limit": 3, "offset": 0, "returned": 3 },
"data": [
{
"entity_id": "ent_f47550b79f755d70b58b183a",
"slug": "alegro-health-mckinney-tx",
"vertical": "glp1",
"name": "Alegro Health",
"city": "McKinney",
"state": "TX",
"business_mode": "online",
"latitude": 33.198119,
"longitude": -96.708802,
"npi": "1053066357"
}
// …
]
}
```
Real data, real API, zero setup. `Full fields (cash_price, compliance) from
$99/mo self-serve → [xcircl.com/developers](https://xcircl.com/developers/pricing/)`.
## Use it from Claude (MCP server)
No clone, no build — `npx` pulls
[`@xcircl/mcp-server`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@xcircl/mcp-server) from npm.
**Claude Code:**
```bash
claude mcp add xcircl -- npx -y @xcircl/mcp-server
# with a key (unlocks price + compliance fields):
claude mcp add xcircl -e XCIRCL_API_KEY=your-key -- npx -y @xcircl/mcp-server
```
**Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"xcircl": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@xcircl/mcp-server"],
"env": { "XCIRCL_API_KEY": "optional — omit for the free tier" }
}
}
}
```
Then just ask: *“Find GLP-1 clinics in Houston and check their compliance.”*
The server exposes three tools:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `search_providers` | Filter by vertical / city / state / business mode |
| `get_provider` | One full record by `entity_id` or slug |
| `check_compliance` | LegitScript / state-license / FDA signals (paid fields — the tool still answers without a key and says how to unlock) |
## Use it from your code (TypeScript SDK)
```bash
npm install @xcircl/sdk
```
```ts
import { XcirclClient } from '@xcircl/sdk';
const xcircl = new XcirclClient(); // no key → free tier
// const xcircl = new XcirclClient({ apiKey: process.env.XCIRCL_API_KEY });
const { data, notice } = await xcircl.searchProviders({
vertical: 'glp1',
city: 'Houston',
state: 'TX',
});
for (const p of data) console.log(p.name, p.city, p.npi);
if (notice) console.log(notice); // what a key would add
```
Runnable examples live in the repo (clone it to run them; both work without
any key):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/xcircl/healthcare-provider-mcp.git
cd healthcare-provider-mcp && npm install && npm run build
node examples/01-find-clinics.mjs Houston TX # find clinics
node examples/02-ai-tool-use.mjs # give Claude live xcircl tools (bring your own ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)
```
## Where the data comes from
Every record is assembled from official, citable sources — and every paid
signal carries its **source and verification timestamp**:
- **[NPPES](https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/)** — the CMS National Provider
Identifier registry, for provider identity (name, location, NPI).
- **[FDA Data Dashboard](https://datadashboard.fda.gov/)** — Drugs/Biologics
warning-letter screens (compliance actions since 2019).
- **State license boards** — medical and pharmacy license records.
- **[LegitScript](https://www.legitscript.com/)** — certification status checks.
- **Provider websites** — published cash prices, with the source page and
check date recorded.
This repository contains **no data files** — it is the open-source shell
(MCP server + SDK + docs) around the xcircl API. The data lives, and the
field tiering is enforced, server-side. The only demo data source is the
live [`/api/v1/sample/`](https://xcircl.com/api/v1/sample/) endpoint
(~50 clean records in the paid schema).
## Free vs paid fields
| Field | Free (no key / free key) | Builder+ ($99/mo and up) |
|---|:---:|:---:|
| `entity_id`, `slug`, `vertical`, `name` | ✅ | ✅ |
| `city`, `state`, `latitude`, `longitude` | ✅ | ✅ |
| `business_mode`, `npi` | ✅ | ✅ |
| `legitscript` — certification signal | — | ✅ |
| `license` — state-license record | — | ✅ |
| `fda` — warning-letter screen | — | ✅ |
| `price` — published cash price | — | ✅ |
| source + `verified_at` on every signal | — | ✅ |
## Plans
| Plan | Price | Fields | Requests | Verticals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Free** | $0 (register at [xcircl.com/developers](https://xcircl.com/developers/pricing/)) | identity fields | 1,000/mo | all |
| **Builder** | **$99/mo** — credit-card self-serve | **all fields** | 5,000/mo | 1 (key-bound) |
| **Developer** | $750/mo · Founding Customer (first 10): $375/mo locked 12 months | all fields | 25,000/mo | multiple |
| **Enterprise** | [contact sales](https://xcircl.com/developers/pricing/) | all fields + export | unlimited | all |
- **No key**: fully usable, 100% real data, plus a one-line notice about paid fields — the free experience is a real demo, and the wall you hit is a field/vertical/volume wall, never a "doesn't run" wall.
- Rate limits and vertical binding are enforced **server-side** by the key, same as field tiering — this client contains zero gating logic.
Full field dictionary: [docs/schema.md](./docs/schema.md) · recorded test
runs against production: [docs/verification.md](./docs/verification.md).
