nfz-mcp

Local MCP server for the Polish National Health Fund (NFZ) public API — waiting lists ("kolejki") and the medical-service dictionary. No authentication required.

Part of the honest-mcp family of small, auditable, local-first MCP servers.

Why

Every Polish resident, at some point, wants to know "jak długo trzeba czekać na kardiologa?" — how long the queue for a cardiologist actually is. NFZ publishes this via a REST API but the friendly search on terminyleczenia.nfz.gov.pl doesn't help when you want to compare 20 providers at once or feed the data to an AI.

This server hands NFZ's data to your AI as structured JSON. Ask "cheapest wait time for a rehabilitation-cardiology facility in Mazowieckie?" and get an actual answer with dates and provider names.

Features

Three tools:

• search_queues — waiting list search: partial-name benefit + province + case (routine vs urgent), returns first-available date and average wait per provider.

• search_benefits — search the NFZ service dictionary to discover the exact benefit name to use.

• list_provinces — the 2-digit province code map (01–16).

Data source

• Endpoint: api.nfz.gov.pl/app-itl-api/ — NFZ's public "Informator o Terminach Leczenia" API

• No API key, no registration

• Public info about NFZ-contracted providers only

Requirements

• Python 3.10+

Setup

git clone https://github.com/bartosz-kuc/nfz-mcp.git
cd nfz-mcp
python3 -m venv venv
./venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt

Register with Claude Code:

Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nfz": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Example usage

"Which cardio-rehab facilities in Mazowieckie have the shortest wait?"

Two-step: search_benefits(name="kardio") → find exact benefit name → search_queues(benefit="ZAKŁAD/OŚRODEK REHABILITACJI KARDIOLOGICZNEJ", province="07", case=1, limit=25) → sorted list with dates.

"Any pediatric endocrinology openings in Kraków?"

search_queues(benefit="poradnia endokrynologiczna dla dzieci", province="06", case=1, locality="KRAKÓW") — the locality filter narrows the response client-side.
