Cline npi providers mcp server npi_get_provider

How to: Cline npi providers mcp server npi_get_provider

client:Cline transport:streamable-http tool:npi_get_provider

Add npi providers mcp server to Cline

  1. 01

    Open ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "npi-providers-mcp-server": {
      "url": "https://npi-providers.caseyjhand.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cline.

  2. 03

    Ask for something npi_get_provider does. Cline 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.

Cline's MCP Servers pane edits this file for you if you would rather not find it. Cline docs

Set these first

npi providers mcp server will not start until these are set, so npi_get_provider never becomes available.

  • MCP_LOG_LEVEL
  • 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.
