# NPI Registry MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for searching the National Provider Identifier (NPI) registry. This server provides tools to search and retrieve information about healthcare providers and organizations in the United States.

## Overview

NPI is a unique identification number for covered health care providers in the United States. This MCP server allows Claude and other MCP-compatible clients to search the official NPI registry maintained by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and integrates the results into an LLM context for enhanced analysis and insights.

### Features

- **Search by Organization**: Look up healthcare organizations by name
- **Search by NPI Number**: Direct lookup using a specific 10-digit NPI
- **Location-based Search**: Filter results by city, state, or postal code
- **Specialty Search**: Find providers by their specialty or taxonomy description
- **Comprehensive Data**: Returns detailed information including addresses, practice locations, specialties, and other identifiers

### Use Cases
