What your AI can do with MedRates
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

“Use “search_nlp”: Natural language search for medical procedure prices. Understands free-text queries like: - "MRI brain near San Jose with Blue Cr.”
“Use “price_quote”: Get price quotes for specific procedure codes, grouped by hospital. This is the most detailed pricing tool. Provide exact CPT/HCPCS cod.”
“Use “hospitals”: Find hospitals by name/city/state, or list a sample of hospitals. Returns hospital names, IDs, EINs, NPIs, and per-campus locations wit.”
How secure is the MedRates MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how MedRates holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by MedRates (medrates.fyi) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If MedRates adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps

https://mcp.medrates.fyi/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official MedRates MCP server?
Yes — MedRates operates its own remote MCP server at mcp.medrates.fyi. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
