For AI assistants

Ask your AI assistant what IVF costs, from IVFcost.co's own data

IVFcost.co runs a free Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client and the assistant can look up the IVF prices US clinics post, each state's IVF insurance law, the grants taking applications now and whether an employer covers IVF, with every source and date in the answer.

Connect

Server address

https://ivfcost.co/api/mcp

Streamable HTTP, no sign-in and no key. In Claude, add it as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a connector with developer mode on. In Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code or another MCP client, add it as a remote server, for example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ivfcost": {
      "url": "https://ivfcost.co/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What the assistant can ask (5 tools)

IVF prices US clinics post

find_ivf_clinic_prices

The self-pay IVF cycle prices that US fertility clinics post on their own websites, for one state (optionally one city), with what each price includes, the clinic's own page as the source, and the date it was read. Clinics are listed by name, not ranked. Many clinics post no price; the answer says how many do.

Estimate what IVF costs in the US

estimate_ivf_cost

A US IVF cost estimate built only from cited line items (the base cycle, medications, anesthesia, embryo freezing, a frozen transfer, genetic testing and other add-ons), with a low, typical and high figure per cycle and for several cycles, and the source of each line.

Does insurance have to cover IVF in a state

ivf_insurance_rules

Whether a US state's law requires health plans to cover IVF, infertility treatment or fertility preservation, what the law requires as RESOLVE summarizes it, the statute, and which plans a state law cannot reach (self-funded employer plans).

IVF grants taking applications now

ivf_grants_open_now

US IVF and fertility grant programs that take applications today, open year-round, or open soon, each with its award, application fee, who can apply and its current window and deadline as the program posts it. Optionally only grants open to residents of one state.

Does an employer cover IVF

employer_ivf_coverage

Whether a US employer's own benefit documents say it covers IVF or fertility treatment, with the dollar or cycle limit, who runs the benefit, and a verbatim quote and link to the document. Covers the large employers IVFcost.co has read; says so when an employer publishes nothing.

Terms

What it is and is not

  • Read-only and public: every answer comes from the same data as the pages on this site, and links the page with the full detail.
  • No partner or sponsored links in any answer, and the order of clinics never depends on who pays.
  • No account, no personal data: the server keeps nothing about who asked. Requests are logged only as method, path and status for operations (see the privacy policy).
  • Figures are what clinics, insurers, employers, grant programs and studies publish, with the date each was read. They are not quotes, and not medical, insurance or financial advice. How every figure is sourced: methodology.
  • The clinic price data is also an open dataset (CC BY 4.0).
  • Questions or a tool you would like added: hello@ivfcost.co.
The MCP server answers the same questions as the site; when a figure changes on the site, the next answer has it.
