How to: Claude.ai npi providers mcp server npi_get_provider

client:Claude.ai transport:streamable-http tool:npi_get_provider

Add npi providers mcp server to Claude.ai

    Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Claude.ai.

  2. 03

    Ask for something npi_get_provider does. Claude.ai lists the server's tools on connect and calls npi_get_provider itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that npi providers mcp server's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude on the web takes a remote URL and completes OAuth in the browser. For a packaged server use Claude Desktop or Claude Code instead. Claude.ai docs

  • NPPES_API_BASE_URL
  • NPPES_TIMEOUT_MS

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
