Claude Turquoise connectorWhat Claude can do in your Turquoise account.

What changes when Claude can query Turquoise
With this connector, you ask Claude a healthcare pricing question in plain language, and it queries Turquoise Health's negotiated rate data, split by care setting, while it answers. Turquoise presents it for benchmarking reimbursement rates, sizing markets, seeing what a payer pays in a given geography, or comparing rates across providers and plans.
Rates for physician-billed services. You ask what physician groups in a state are paid for a service, and analyze_professional_rates pulls the negotiated professional rates from Clear Rates, with geography and payer in the question.
Hospitals compared on a DRG. For inpatient or outpatient care at hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers, analyze_medical_rates queries facility-billed rates; Turquoise advises naming the code system, as in MS-DRG 470, rather than a bare number.
Who relates to whom. explore_knowledge_graph searches payers, providers and health systems and lists their relationships across geographies, service lines, network types and product lines.
What it will not do: Turquoise states that its connector tools are read-only and never alter anything in your platform account. Claude only sees the data sets your organization has access to, and a tool your organization has no access to does not appear. Nothing runs on a schedule: Claude calls these tools while it answers you. For recurring exports, look at the automation platforms on our Integrations hub.
Five terms before you connect
Claude's vocabulary around this connector, in one minute.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can use it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named capability a connector opens to Claude. Claude decides which to call; the directory sheet lists every tool by name.
- Authorization
- The service's own sign-in screen, where you grant Claude the access it will use. Here it is your Turquoise login. Per person, revocable.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before changing something in an account for you, shown in the chat when it matters.
- MCP
- The open standard that connectors run on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude read data from a service such as Turquoise.
Connect Turquoise to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Turquoise in the connector list
Open Claude's settings, go to Customize, then Connectors, and look for Turquoise. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable it for the organization before each member connects.
- 02
Sign in to Turquoise
Click Connect on its row and sign in in the window the service opens. Turquoise says the connector authenticates with the Turquoise account you already have. If the link breaks later, Disconnect and connect again.
- 03
Review the authorization screen
Read the screen Turquoise shows before you accept. It is the service's screen, not Claude's, and it decides what the access covers. You can withdraw that access later the same way.
The 6 tools, sorted by what they do
Turquoise gives Claude 6 tools: 6 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.
All six read. Turquoise describes each one in a table of its connector guide, and the names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

What Claude reads (6)
6 toolsSix tools that query rates or relationships without touching your Turquoise account.
explore_knowledge_graph
Searches healthcare entities and walks their relationships across payers, providers, health systems, geographies, service lines, network types and product lines. It finds an entity, lists its relationships and retrieves the related data.
analyze_medical_rates
Returns negotiated rates for facility-billed medical services, such as inpatient and outpatient care at hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers, drawn from Clear Rates.
analyze_drug_rates
Looks up what payers have negotiated for drugs given to patients in hospital, whether admitted or outpatient, using Clear Rates data. You can narrow by drug name or by therapeutic area.
analyze_professional_rates
Covers physician-billed services: negotiated rates from physician groups, urgent care clinics and dialysis centers, from Clear Rates.
analyze_lab_rates
Covers lab work: the rates negotiated for laboratory and pathology services, whether a laboratory or a physician group bills them, taken from Clear Rates.
analyze_devices_rates
Returns what has been negotiated for implanted devices, using the Device Rates data set, and filters by manufacturer, by product or by carve-out.
What Claude asks before acting
Claude's default is to stop and ask before any action it takes on an account for you. Every Turquoise tool documented here reads data, so in normal use there is nothing for Claude to confirm.
On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may let some actions through without a new prompt, and they can restrict what a connector does for the whole organization, keeping reads and closing writes for instance. Claude works with the rights of the person who connected it, and Turquoise adds that the tools follow your organization's data access. The official per-tool read or write label only shows inside a connected account's settings.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. Connector by connector, that answer is published nowhere.
The published rule is general: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, and on Team and Enterprise an Owner or Primary Owner turns a connector on before members connect. The publisher's guide names Claude plans in its setup steps; that line appears in the conflict below. For this connector's current state, open its directory sheet.
Where the Claude Turquoise connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude queries Turquoise while it answers you; nothing fires when new rates are loaded.
A tool list made only of reads is an observed floor, not a guarantee: an admin can open actions that no public sheet shows. The verification badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic says on every sheet that it does not decide a publisher's tools. Only Turquoise Health documents this connector, in a guide published in June 2026; no Claude help article covers it, and the tool descriptions on this page come from that guide.
Which Claude plans can use the Turquoise connector?
- Claude help center, general connector rule ↗September 2026Remote connectors are available to all users; on Team and Enterprise an Owner or Primary Owner enables each one first.
- Turquoise Health connector guide ↗June 2026Turquoise's guide says that with a Pro, Team or Enterprise account, you or your Claude admin can add the connector from Customize, then Connectors.
What this page followsNeither is declared out of date. Anthropic's rule covers every connector and is the more recent text; Turquoise's line targets this connector but comes from the publisher and leaves out other plans. Check the directory sheet from your own account before relying on either.
