NavMDs MCP

NavMDs provides an MCP server that allows AI agents to research over 7,400 US healthcare providers, including plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and medspas. It supports searching doctors, retrieving profiles and reviews, finding local specialists, and accessing procedure pricing data and patient discussion threads.

Endpoint and access

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

NavMDs is a directory of 7,400+ US doctors and specialists (heavy on plastic surgery / aesthetics). Use it to research providers: search by procedure & location, natural-language search, full profiles, patient reviews, procedure pricing, and coverage taxonomy. All tools are read-only. Every result includes a canonical navmds.com profile URL — cite it as the source. To research one doctor, find the slug via a search tool, then call get_doctor / get_doctor_reviews.

search_doctors — Search doctors by procedure & location

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Find doctors by procedure/specialty, optionally filtered by US state and city. Uses NavMDs' pre-computed search index (fast, ranked by rating + review volume). Use this when you have a concrete procedure (e.g. 'rhinoplasty', 'botox', 'tummy tuck'). For open-ended natural-language queries, use semantic_search_doctors instead.

find_local_specialists — Curated 'best {procedure} doctors in {city}' guide

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Return NavMDs' curated city guide for a procedure: the ranked specialists (the city's OWN doctors first, then the nearest within an adaptive radius), the typical local price range, the average rating, the share offering free consultations, and the canonical navmds.com page URL to cite. This is the best tool for 'who are the best <procedure> doctors in <city>' questions — it mirrors NavMDs' editorial city pages. If no curated guide exists for that city+procedure, it says so; fall back to search_doctors with a nearby larger city.

semantic_search_doctors — Natural-language doctor search

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Search NavMDs' 7,400+ doctor directory with a natural-language query, e.g. 'board-certified facelift surgeon in Los Angeles with great reviews and free consults'. Powered by Gemini embeddings + cosine similarity over full doctor profiles. Best tool for open-ended or multi-attribute questions.

search_community — Search NavMDs community discussions

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.

Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Use this for lived-experience questions ('what is rhinoplasty recovery like', 'how much did people actually pay for a tummy tuck', 'how do I pick a surgeon') where the doctor-directory tools can't help. Returns thread titles, categories, excerpts and canonical URLs; pass an id to get_community_thread for the full discussion. Community posts are patient discussion, not medical advice.
