stedi

A production-ready CLI and MCP server for the Stedi Healthcare & EDI Platform.

Built with Cobra and Charm libraries for a polished terminal experience.

• Healthcare APIs — eligibility checks (270/271), claims submission (837), claim status (276/277), payer search, provider and enrollment management
• Developer Plan APIs — insurance discovery, coordination of benefits, batch eligibility with tier-aware error handling
• EDI Platform APIs — transaction inspection, mapping invocation, file execution management
• MCP Server — tools and agentic workflow prompts for AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, VS Code) via stdio or SSE transport
• Interactive forms — guided input for complex operations like eligibility checks
• API Playground — full-screen interactive TUI with guided multi-step workflows and individual endpoint exploration
• Dual output — styled terminal output by default, raw JSON with --json for scripting
