- Advanced Querying — Use Socrata Query Language (SoQL) to filter, sort, and limit data for precise financial analysis.
- Data Export — Download specific datasets in CSV, JSON, or XML formats for external processing or reporting.
- Metadata Inspection — Fetch detailed information about specific datasets to understand the underlying data structure.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your HHS/Socrata API Key (optional but recommended for higher rate limits)
- Start auditing healthcare financial data directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Researchers & Journalists — Uncover financial ties between the medical industry and healthcare professionals for investigative reporting.
- Compliance Officers — Monitor and verify the accuracy of reported financial transfers within healthcare organizations.
- Healthcare Consumers — Check for potential conflicts of interest or financial relationships of their medical providers.

Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a specific doctor by name to see their financial records?
Yes! Use the search_physicians tool with the doctor's name. The agent will return matching profiles and their associated payment data from the Open Payments database.
How do I filter data for a specific state or payment amount?
You can use the query_dataset tool and provide a SoQL filter in the where parameter (e.g., recipient_state = 'NY' or total_amount_of_payment_usdollars > 1000).
What formats can I use to download the datasets?
The download_dataset tool supports 'csv', 'json', and 'xml' formats. JSON is generally recommended for programmatic access and AI analysis.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
