Is this MCP HIPAA compliant?

The MCP is engineered for front-desk operations, handling only PHI demographics and status. It is designed to exclude financial or claim mutations to maintain security.

How do I set up my credentials?

You use the OAuth protocol to authorize your institutional CLIENT_ID within the runtime module.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Does this capability allow me to change insurance claims?

No, the architecture is strictly for reading demographics and status. It does not allow for financial or claim mutations.

What kind of insurance data can I get?

You can get active coverage status, deductible amounts, out-of-pocket maximums, and provider network information.

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.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Optum Eligibility works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.
