REST API quickstart

Sign up or log in to PayerPrice and copy your API key from the API documentation page.
Send the key as a Bearer token over HTTPS. Start by listing the payers and data periods available to you.
Use a returned payer and period to request market benchmarks for a comparable market, or provider rates for a specific NPI, TIN, or CCN. Requests made with an API key can consume credits.

Connect an AI assistant with MCP

The PayerPrice MCP server uses Streamable HTTP and OAuth. Add the server URL to your client, approve access when PayerPrice opens, and your assistant can query PayerPrice data directly.

Get access: log in or sign up for PayerPrice.

MCP server URL

https://api.payerprice.com/api/v1/open/mcp

Claude Desktop

In Claude Desktop, open Customize → Connectors, select + → Add custom connector, and enter the PayerPrice server URL:

Claude Desktop

https://api.payerprice.com/api/v1/open/mcp

On Team or Enterprise plans, an organization owner must add the remote connector first. Then select Connect to sign in.

Claude Code

To add this MCP to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http payerprice https://api.payerprice.com/api/v1/open/mcp

Run claude mcp list to verify the server, then use /mcp in Claude Code to sign in.

Claude.ai

In Claude.ai, open Customize → Connectors, select + → Add custom connector, and enter the MCP server URL:

Claude.ai

https://api.payerprice.com/api/v1/open/mcp

On Team or Enterprise plans, an organization owner must add the remote connector first. Then select Connect to sign in.

Gemini Enterprise

Ask PayerPrice support for a Client ID and secret registered with https://vertexaisearch.cloud.google.com/oauth-redirect. In Google Cloud, create a Gemini Enterprise Custom MCP Server data store and enter:

Gemini Enterprise

MCP Server URL: https://api.payerprice.com/api/v1/open/mcp
Authorization URL: https://api.payerprice.com/oauth/authorize
Token URL: https://api.payerprice.com/oauth/token
Client ID: <provided by PayerPrice>
Client Secret: <provided by PayerPrice>
Scopes: payerprice:mcp:read
Enable PKCE Support: Yes (required)

Select Enable PKCE Support, click Verify Auth, and sign in to PayerPrice. Then continue creating the data store and enable the PayerPrice actions you want to use.

Codex

Add PayerPrice as a Streamable HTTP MCP server from your terminal:

Codex

codex mcp add payerprice --url https://api.payerprice.com/api/v1/open/mcp

Then start OAuth authorization and sign in to PayerPrice:

Codex

codex mcp login payerprice

Cursor

To add this MCP to Cursor, update your ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "PayerPrice": {
      "url": "https://api.payerprice.com/api/v1/open/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Save the file and restart Cursor. Complete OAuth sign-in when prompted.

VS Code

To add this MCP to VS Code, update your .vscode/mcp.json.

VS Code

{
  "servers": {
