# FindADoctor.si New Zealand

Find New Zealand specialists and general practices with evidence your AI agent can check. Search by condition, procedure or place, then review each doctor's own listed focus areas, clinics, Medical Council registration and how long they have been a specialist, with the source and read date behind each fact, through MCP or the HTTP API.

No sign-up. Short lists are free; full evidence has a daily allowance.

> **Not medical advice.** In an emergency, call 111.

## Connect your agent

- MCP (Streamable HTTP), one address for every country: `https://api.findadoctor.si/mcp`. Search with `country: "NZ"`; `get_doctor` reads the country from the `nz_` id. Decide the country first, and ask the person when it is unclear (a Hamilton could be in New Zealand or elsewhere).
- MCP for New Zealand only: `https://api-nz.findadoctor.si/mcp`
- HTTP API: `GET https://api-nz.findadoctor.si/api/v1/search`, described in [openapi.json](https://api-nz.findadoctor.si/openapi.json)
- MCP server card: [https://api-nz.findadoctor.si/mcp/server-card](https://api-nz.findadoctor.si/mcp/server-card)
- In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector, paste the MCP URL ([Claude's guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp)). In ChatGPT, where your plan and workspace allow it: Plugins → + → Add custom MCP server ([OpenAI's guide](https://developers.openai.com/plugins/deploy/connect-chatgpt)).

## What's inside

- about 7,800 doctors listed on Healthpoint, most with clinic address and phone: GPs, private specialists, and public-hospital doctors named on Health NZ service pages. 1,233 of them list their own focus areas or special interests.
- about 5,100 more practising doctors with a specialist scope other than general practice, from the Medical Council of New Zealand public register, with their specialty and, for most, since when, but no clinic details.
- Medical Council entries for 25,566 doctors: practising status, scope of practice, conditions on practice, and when each specialist scope was granted. Plus New Zealand honours (113), University of Auckland academic titles (118) and paper counts (2,733) as seniority signals.
- 1,020 general practices: whether they are taking new patients (561 say yes), fees by age and the GPs listed; and 66 urgent care clinics.
- Health NZ public waiting lists for 20 districts and 39 specialties: how many people wait for a first specialist assessment or planned treatment, and the share waiting over 120 days.

## How an agent uses it

1. **Search** with `search_doctors`: a free short list for a condition, procedure, specialty, place or name, with how directly each doctor's own listing matches.
2. **Open the evidence** with `get_doctor`: listed focus areas, services and procedures, clinic addresses and phone numbers, fee categories, insurer notes and the Medical Council entry. Each different doctor opened counts toward a daily allowance.
3. **Need a GP?** `search_gp_practices` finds general practices by place that are taking new patients, with the fee for the person's age. Practices are not counted toward the daily allowance.
4. **Public or private:** `public_waitlist` shows how long the public queues are by district and specialty. Public care is free but needs a GP referral.
5. **Confirm with the clinic** and the insurer: fees, insurer cover (often prior approval) and availability are confirmed there, not here.

## What it is not

- **Not a quality rating.** Results are ordered by how directly the doctor's own listing matches the need, not by outcomes. No ratings, reviews or rankings are used. Years as a specialist, honours and titles are seniority, not skill.
- **Not every detail for every doctor.** Private surgical specialists have the fullest listings; for doctors only on the register there is no clinic, phone or focus area; individual GPs are found through their practice.
- **Facts are dated.** Every source is named with its read date. Call before you go.
