Hi HN,I’m building HealthPorta — an API layer for the US healthcare data (providers, plans, coverage, costs). Like most healthtech APIs, it started small… and then it didn’t. The surface area grew fast, integrations took longer than they should, and every new partner ended up needing a mini “tour guide” to use it correctly.So, since the last post here, something changed. We’ve built an MCP server as a boring integration helper to provide a smaller, friendlier interface for engineers of our "two clients" who didn’t want to learn the entire API on day one and just wanted to ask Codex or Claude to "integrate".Then something unexpected happened.Once it was hooked into MCP clients, it stopped fee

The company sits in the show hn launch segment, where it competes on its core product or service.

Its current recorded stage is Show HN launch.
