What is the Optum Eligibility MCP Server?
What you can do
Take complete proxy control over your Medical Front-Desk operations, accelerating the intake of patients with automated real-time checks acting securely under Optum APIs:
- Check Active Eligibility: Run advanced X12 270/271 mappings extracting if a patient holds an active healthcare policy seamlessly.
- Verify Deductibles: Quickly identify out-of-pocket limits and met thresholds for an individual efficiently.
- Check Provider Network: Look up if a specific doctor or facility operates strictly 'In-Network'.
How it works
- High Security & Compliance: Engineered entirely to handle Front-Desk requests (Reading PHI Demographics/Status only). This architecture deliberately excludes Financial/Claim mutations.
- Engage OAuth Protocol: Authorize directly substituting your institutional
CLIENT_IDsecurely within the runtime module. - Deploy: Offload reception verification workflows immediately.

Frequently asked questions
Can this Optum Server submit medical claims or process remittances automatically?
Absolutely strictly not. Per rigorous Least Privilege modeling common to US Healthcare operations, Front-Desk tasks (Eligibility) are decoupled natively from Back-Office operations. For submitting medical claims, integrate the optum-claims-mcp array safely.
How does the agent handle HIPAA compliance for patient data?
The MCP server transmits data directly via secure Optum APIs over TLS. No PHI (Protected Health Information) is cached locally, ensuring full compliance with HIPAA regulations.
Can I check out-of-network benefits?
Yes. The eligibility payload returns detailed tiered benefits including deductibles and coinsurance for out-of-network services based on the specific policy details.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
