TiC Explorer MCP

An official MCP server by TiC Explorer that provides AI agents with access to US health plan price transparency data. It allows agents to find health plans, locate providers near a ZIP code, translate medical services into billing codes, and retrieve negotiated rates for specific procedures. The server supports batch rate lookups, claim pricing, and market analysis jobs, enabling applications to understand what insurers actually pay for care.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http tic-explorer-mcp https://api.ticexplorer.com/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 tic-explorer-mcp --url https://api.ticexplorer.com/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable tic-explorer-mcp in your MCP settings.

      "url": "https://api.ticexplorer.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.
