How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use CareRanks Data to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://careranks.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- search_facilities: Search 41K+ US facilities (hospitals, nursing homes, home-health agencies, dialysis centers, health systems) by name and/or city, optionally filtered by state and type. Returns ids usable with the other tools plus capability flags.
- get_facility: Look up one facility by {type, id}. Returns the index record plus canonical URLs and which detail tools work for it. Hospital ids are CMS CCNs.
- get_hospital_prices: Payer-negotiated rates parsed from a hospital's federally required machine-readable file. Without `drg`: a per-DRG summary (payer count, min/median/max) across every DRG in the file. With `drg` (digits; zero-padded automatically): the individual payer-by-payer rates for that DRG.
- get_hospital_clinicians: Clinicians affiliated with a hospital (CMS data): name, specialty, Medicare procedure volumes, Open Payments totals. Available for ~4,570 hospitals (clinicians_tool_available flag). Filter matches name or specialty.
- get_facility_profile: Structured summary for any facility; for hospitals the full profile markdown (quality measures, ratings context) is returned AS THE TEXT CONTENT BLOCK, with metadata (truncation flag, full URL) in structuredContent. max_chars bounds the markdown body.
