hospital-prices -- what US hospitals charge for a service: gross charge, self-pay price and…

Quickstart

# 1 — add it to Claude Code
claude mcp add --scope user hospital-prices-mcp '--' npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-hospital-prices

# 2 — ask your agent for something these tools do
#   hospital_price_search, hospital_price_compare, hospital_price_coverage

Hospital Prices costs nothing on mcprush: there is no plan to choose here, no cap to set and nothing mcprush can bill you for.

Installation

Where are you running it?

Every route below installs the same thing and ends at the same approval screen. This one can run either way — at an address its publisher runs, or as a process under your own user, with your files and your network — and this marketplace is in the path of neither.

Claude Codedeclared by this listing

This is a public server: you run it yourself and this marketplace is not in the path. You need Node.js — the current LTS (24) is the safe choice; npx comes with it. Claude Code registers it in one command; --scope user makes it available in every project. The '--' is in quotes so that PowerShell passes it on.

claude mcp add --scope user hospital-prices-mcp '--' npx -y @pipeworx/mcp-hospital-prices

Reconnect, or start a new session, and the tools appear in the model’s tool list.

Or connect to its publisher’s address

Its publisher also runs it at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hospital-prices/mcp: nothing to start on your machine, and this marketplace is not in the path.

claude mcp add --scope user --transport http hospital-prices-mcp https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hospital-prices/mcp

Free on mcprush, and it runs from its publisher’s own package: this marketplace is not in the path, so there is no key of ours to hold and no card to add.

What it asks of you

Nothing is required, but it can take PIPEWORX_API_KEY (Optional Pipeworx API key. Without it calls are anonymous and capped daily; a free key raises the cap.) if you want to set it.

What it writes

One config entry your client uses to start the process locally. A local server runs with your file system and your network, which is why it is priced without metering.

What you approve

3 tools, with what each one reads, writes and reaches shown before you agree — the same list on every route above. Read the tool surface.

Tool surface

What the model actually sees. Descriptions are diffed on every release — see version history.

Only tools that write or reach the network

Read from its source code. A server that builds its tool list when it starts can list more tools than this.

What hospitals near a US ZIP charge for one service, from the standard charges files each hospital publishes under the CMS price transparency rule. Per hospital: gross charge (list price, not what anyone pays), self-pay discounted cash price, the de-identified min/max negotiated amounts, and a…

Parameter	Type	Required	Notes
code	string	yes	The service code: a CPT/HCPCS code from the CMS 70 shoppable services (e.g. "70450" head CT, "45378" colonoscopy, "99213"-style E&M codes only where on that list) or an MS-DRG number (e.g. "470" major
code_type	string	no	Optional. Inferred when omitted: 1-3 digits is an MS-DRG, a 5-character code is CPT/HCPCS.
near	string	yes	A 5-digit US ZIP ("10016") or "lat,lon" ("40.7459,-73.9780").
radius_mi	number	no	Search radius in miles (1-150, default 25). Straight-line, from ZIP centroid to the hospital's ZIP centroid.
payer	string	no	Case-insensitive substring of the payer name (e.g. "aetna", "blue cross"). Returns that payer's negotiated rows. Major payer families are matched under their other spellings too ("blue cross" also fin
plan	string	no	Case-insensitive substring of the plan name (e.g. "ppo", "medicare advantage").
setting	string	no	Restrict to inpatient or outpatient pricing. Default: both.
limit	number	no	Hospitals to return (1-50, default 20), nearest first.
rates_per_hospital	number	no	With payer/plan: negotiated rows per hospital (1-25, default 5).

Side-by-side prices for one service at up to 10 named hospitals (by CMS Certification Number, CCN, from hospital_price_search or hospital_price_coverage). Same fields and same labelling as hospital_price_search: gross charge vs self-pay cash vs payer-negotiated rates, dollar_available on every…

Whether this store holds a hospital's prices and, if not, WHY. Look up one hospital by CCN or by name (partial match), or summarise a state, or (no arguments) the whole store, including which states are loaded (the store is loaded state by state, so a hospital in an unloaded state is simply…

name	string	no	Hospital name or part of it, e.g. "Mayo Clinic". Up to 25 matches are returned.
state	string	no	Two-letter state code, e.g. "MN": counts by status for that state.
status	string	no	With state: list hospitals having this status (e.g. "blocked").

ATrust score 100 / 100

Release 0.2.1 · scanned 2 Nov 2026

Two independent axes, because powerful and malicious are different questions. The grade is threat only. The capability level is blast radius, and it is never a penalty on the grade — it is priced as one subtract-only term in the score, where you can see it.

score = clamp(round(threatScore − E_cap − E_ver − E_cov), 0, 100). No model, no opinion, no network call at scoring time: the same methodology version against the same bytes always produces this number, and every line above is a field of the report rather than a summary of it.

What the scan could actually read

A grade is only as meaningful as its coverage, so the scanner publishes its own depth before it publishes its result.

Live transportnot available

No tools were enumerated, so prompt-injection, capability and toxic-flow analysis had no tool surface to inspect. To grade a package’s real runtime tools, scan the running server: --command "npx -y <package>".

Capability — what it could do if the model were manipulated

Tags derived from each tool’s schema and the implementation, not from what the tool calls itself. minimal is the level these add up to.

Tool	Capability tags	Why the tag was assigned
No per-tool rows for this release — see the note below.

No tool surface was enumerated, so there is nothing to attribute a capability to.

Toxic-flow graph

The lethal trifecta, checked as a graph rather than as a checklist: untrusted input, a sensitive source and an external sink have to meet before there is a path worth worrying about.

The public result for this release does not print the flow graph, so there is nothing to show here. That is not the same as "no paths were found": what the scan did read is above, under coverage.

This is the first scan of this surface here, so there is nothing yet to compare it against.

Every result on this tab comes from one deterministic pass over the published package — offline, rule by rule, and auditable line by line above. Same methodology version, same bytes, same score.
