Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

IVFcost.co's US fertility cost data: the self-pay IVF prices clinics post on their own websites, a cited IVF cost estimate, each state's IVF insurance law, IVF grants taking applications now, and which employers cover IVF. Every answer names its sources and the date they were read and links the IVFcost.co page with the full detail. Figures are published prices and rules, not quotes or medical, insurance or financial advice.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http ivfcost-co-mcp https://ivfcost.co/api/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add ivfcost-co-mcp --url https://ivfcost.co/api/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable ivfcost-co-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ivfcost-co-mcp": {
      "url": "https://ivfcost.co/api/mcp"
    }
  }
