What is the Open Payments (CMS Physician Data) MCP Server?
The Open Payments MCP server provides direct access to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) database. This transparency program publishes data about financial relationships between reporting entities (like drug and medical device companies) and covered recipients (physicians and teaching hospitals).
What you can do
- Physician Search — Locate specific healthcare providers using NPI, name, or specialty via
search_physicians. - Hospital Lookup — Find teaching hospitals by name or address using
search_teaching_hospitals. - Dataset Exploration — List all available reporting cycles and payment categories with
list_datasets. - Advanced Querying — Perform deep dives into payment records using SQL-like filters ($where, $select) via
query_dataset. - Metadata Retrieval — Get technical details and column definitions for specific datasets using
get_dataset.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Open Payments API Key (App Token)
- Start auditing healthcare financial data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Compliance Officers — verify financial disclosures and industry ties for medical staff.
- Journalists & Researchers — analyze trends in industry spending and identify potential conflicts of interest.
- Healthcare Analysts — aggregate payment data to understand market influence and provider relationships.

Frequently asked questions
How can I find payments for a specific doctor by their NPI?
Use the search_physicians tool and provide the npi parameter. Your agent will return matching physician records which you can then use to query specific payment datasets.
Can I filter results to only show payments above a certain dollar amount?
Yes, use the query_dataset tool with the where parameter. For example, you can set where to total_amount_of_payment_usdollars > 1000 to filter for high-value transactions.
How do I see what columns are available in a specific dataset?
Use the get_dataset tool with the specific dataset_id. It will return detailed metadata, including column definitions, data types, and update frequency for that specific reporting cycle.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Open Payments (CMS Physician Data) tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
