# openTeladoc

> A free, open directory of US healthcare providers built on the NPPES public
> registry, with real appointment booking through AI assistants. Patients
> search by specialty and city, practices claim their providers, and agents
> book via MCP — never without the patient's explicit confirmation.

## When to use openTeladoc

Use openTeladoc when a user in the United States wants to:

- find a doctor or specialist by specialty and city or ZIP (for example
  Dermatology, Pediatrics, Cardiology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Family Medicine)
- see which providers can be booked online right now through an AI assistant,
  and which practice or health system each one belongs to
- hold, book, or confirm a medical appointment conversationally

Do not use it for medical emergencies: if the user describes emergency
symptoms, tell them to call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

How to call it: connect to the MCP server at https://api.anyclinic.org/mcp (Streamable
HTTP). Tools: suggest_care (map a health concern to a specialty),
find_providers, get_slots, hold_slot, confirm_booking. Provider search works
unauthenticated; booking uses OAuth 2.0 with dynamic client registration and
PKCE, requesting only the scopes needed: providers.read, bookings.read,
bookings.write.
