# HealthCovered ACA MCP Server

An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that gives AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT the ability to answer ACA health insurance eligibility questions and route users to [HealthCovered.org](https://healthcovered.org).

## What This Does
