Frequently asked questions
Headway scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. Headway runs the largest insurance-accepting therapist network in the US, but its provider portal has no public API. Practices get an iCal feed, Google Calendar sync, and PDF exports; everything else stays inside Sigmund.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Headway (legal entity Therapymatch, Inc.) operates a national network of therapists and psychiatrists who accept insurance through Headway's payer contracts.
Healthcare, behavioral health. A therapist sets availability in Sigmund, optionally syncing Google or Outlook so external events block booking slots.

Clinicians report persistent billing errors, unclear copays, and support that cannot resolve insurance issues, plus a lack of straightforward client export options.

Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official Headway MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Headway doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
