LABSCO SUMMARY

The parameter list is the product.

Npi, name, organization_name, city, state, postal_code and specialty mean you can arrive with any fragment of the question, including the NPI number you are trying to confirm rather than find. Wildcard support after 2 characters is what makes that practical, since the field a caller is least sure of is usually the spelling of a name. limit caps how much comes back, so a broad prefix search is deliberately a wide result set rather than a truncated one. It reads a public registry and asks for no credential, which makes it cheap to wire in for verification work where the alternative is a browser tab and manual transcription.

What it is

A single-call lookup over the United States National Provider Identifier registry, covering both individual healthcare providers and organizations.

What you get

One search that accepts the question from whichever end you have it: search_npi_registry takes npi, first_name, last_name, organization_name, city, state, postal_code and specialty, capped by limit.
Fuzzy matching on text fields: a trailing '*' after at least 2 characters matches on a prefix, as in 'smith*' or 'hosp*', so a partial surname or organization name is a usable query.

Requirements

Nothing — no account, no key.

Setup effort

One command — uvx npi-registry-mcp-server

See installation options

USE CASES

01

Confirming a clinician or organization is the one on the paperwork

Look the record up by the NPI number itself, or by the name and location you were given, and read back what the registry holds.

search_npi_registry

02

Building a list of providers in a specialty and an area

Search on specialty with a location rather than a name, using a trailing wildcard where the spelling is uncertain, and take as many rows as you need.

search_npi_registry

1 tool
