# Nursing Home Database — MCP
Public documentation for the **Nursing Home Database** [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server. It exposes US nursing facility search, detail, ownership, and owner portfolio data to AI assistants and other MCP clients.
**Website:** [nursinghomedatabase.com](https://www.nursinghomedatabase.com)
**Contact:** [Contact page](https://www.nursinghomedatabase.com/contact)
## MCP endpoint
| | |
|---|---|
| **Transport** | Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS) |
| **URL** | `https://mcp.nursinghomedatabase.com/mcp` |
| **Auth** | None required for discovery and tools (public access) |
Send a standard MCP session: `initialize` → `notifications/initialized` (optional; may receive HTTP 204) → `tools/list` → `tools/call` as needed.
## Tools
After `tools/list`, you will see tools such as:
| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `search_facilities` | Search facilities by name, geography, filters, or distance from a free-form address |
| `get_facility` | Get one facility by CMS provider number or site slug |
| `get_facility_ownership` | Ownership records for a facility |
| `search_owners` | Search owners by name |
| `get_owner` | Owner portfolio by `web_owner` slug |
| `get_data_freshness` | Dataset freshness metadata |
Exact parameters and schemas are returned in the `tools/list` response (`inputSchema` per tool).
### `search_facilities` highlights
`search_facilities` supports the usual location and rating filters plus address-based distance search.
- `address`: free-form origin address, for example `150 Corporate Woods Drive, Magnolia, TX 77354`
- `radius_miles`: optional positive number; defaults to `25` when `address` is provided
- `sort=distance`: sorts nearest results first when using address-based search
If the supplied address cannot be resolved to a valid location, the API returns an address-specific validation error rather than a generic internal failure.
## MCP Registry
This server is listed in the official MCP Registry as **`com.nursinghomedatabase/mcp`**.
- Registry metadata for clients and automation: [`server.json`](./server.json) in this repository.
- Search API: `https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0.1/servers?search=com.nursinghomedatabase`
## REST API (same backend)
JSON discovery APIs are also available under the main site, for example:
- `GET https://www.nursinghomedatabase.com/api/v1/nh/capabilities`
- `GET https://www.nursinghomedatabase.com/api/v1/nh/...` (see site documentation)
MCP and REST share the same underlying data layer.
For REST callers, the facilities endpoint now supports:
- `GET https://www.nursinghomedatabase.com/api/v1/nh/facilities?address=150+Corporate+Woods+Drive,+Magnolia,+TX+77354`
- `GET https://www.nursinghomedatabase.com/api/v1/nh/facilities?address=150+Corporate+Woods+Drive,+Magnolia,+TX+77354&radius_miles=10`
- `GET https://www.nursinghomedatabase.com/api/v1/nh/facilities?address=150+Corporate+Woods+Drive,+Magnolia,+TX+77354&radius_miles=10&sort=distance`
## Example: Cursor / IDE config
Add a **Streamable HTTP** MCP server pointing at the URL above, for example:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"nursing-home-database": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "https://mcp.nursinghomedatabase.com/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Adjust field names to match your client’s MCP configuration format.
