• npi_search_providers

  Search the NPPES NPI registry for individual practitioners and healthcare organizations by name, organization name, location, provider type, and specialty. Plain-language specialty terms (e.g. "cardiologist", "pediatric cardiologist") resolve through the bundled NUCC taxonomy; the top match's specialization or classification becomes taxonomy_description, and all resolved candidates are returned in metadata. Location belongs in the dedicated city/state/postal_code inputs, not inside specialty. Each provider row includes the NPI, name, primary specialty, city/state/ZIP, type, and active/deactivated status; the NPI is the input for npi_get_provider when the full record is needed. At least one search criterion is required, and the registry rejects state-only searches. When city/state/postal_code are given, only practice addresses are searched, never mailing addresses: a provider is returned only when its primary practice location or one of its other practice locations matches all of them.

• npi_get_provider

  Fetch the NPPES record for one or more NPI numbers (up to 10 per call). Decodes an NPI from a claim, prescription, or another health data source into the provider's professional-practice profile: every taxonomy with its primary flag, license number and state; practice addresses with phone and fax (only LOCATION rows are kept for individual providers, so their mailing address is withheld; organizations also carry their mailing address); credential, sex, sole-proprietor flag; enumeration and last-updated dates; active/deactivated status; secondary identifiers (Medicaid, etc.); and FHIR/Direct endpoints. Each NPI must be 10 digits with a valid check digit (its last digit); an NPI failing the check digit lands in invalid and is never looked up. Reports partial success: valid NPIs with no registry record (deactivated or never enumerated) land in notFound, while NPIs whose lookup hit an upstream error (registry unavailable, timeout) land in errored — kept distinct from confirmed misses — rat

• npi_lookup_taxonomy

  Resolve and browse the NUCC Healthcare Provider Taxonomy — the specialty code set NPPES uses — fully offline (bundled). Mode `resolve` turns a plain-language specialty (e.g. "cardiologist", "heart doctor") into matching active taxonomy entries, excluding codes NUCC marks inactive; mode `get` returns the full entry for an exact code, including NUCC's Notes; mode `browse` walks the hierarchy (grouping → classification → specialization), optionally filtered by grouping and by NPI section (Individual/NPI-1 vs Non-Individual/NPI-2). Every entry carries its status, and an inactive code names its replacement when NUCC gives one; `get` and `browse` still return inactive codes. A resolved entry's specialization, or its classification when specialization is absent, maps directly to npi_search_providers.taxonomy_description.
