Try them free in the sandbox; upgrade to Max to use them in Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and any agent that speaks the protocol.

Connect your MCP client

Paste this into your client's config, restart, and you're live.

The MCP server is a Max-plan feature. Free preview lives in the sandbox. To use it in Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client, you need a Max subscription and an API key — mint one at /stat/settings/api-keys then paste it where the snippet says npmcp_YOUR_KEY_HERE.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nursepal-stat": {
      "url": "https://nursepal.com/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer npmcp_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

1Mint an API key (Max plan required) and copy the full npmcp_… token.
2Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, paste the snippet above, and replace npmcp_YOUR_KEY_HERE with your key.
3Restart Claude Desktop.
4Ask: "What's Catholic Health paying for ICU travel right now?"

By installing the MCP server or calling its endpoints, you accept the Stat terms and disclaimer. The server is offered without uptime, latency, or correctness guarantees; rate-limits and tool availability may change.

FAQ

How is this different from your REST API?

The REST API is for code. The MCP server is for AI assistants — Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and any agent that speaks MCP can call NursePal's tools without writing a line of integration code.

What does it cost?

Free during the public beta. Once auth lands, MCP access is included with Stat Pro and Max; the free tier will have a read-only seat for the one tool currently live.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No customer data is sent to NursePal — the tools return public-market-data percentiles derived from aggregated job postings. We log tool calls for capacity planning the same way we log REST API hits.

Where do the rates come from?

The same source the Stat chat uses: a live aggregate of public healthcare staffing postings across 5,000+ facilities, 250+ specialties, 2M+ postings — deduped and IQR-cleaned.
