Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security57
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 12 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability88
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 1291 tokens (~107/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the io.github.mattlsmith/navmds MCP server?
io.github.mattlsmith/navmds is a hosted endpoint at https://www.navmds.com/api/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
fetch Fetch document (connector-compatible) ~54
Retrieve a full doctor profile by id (the slug returned from `search`). Returns {id, title, text, url, metadata}. (OpenAI connector-compatible.)
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_local_specialists Curated 'best {procedure} doctors in {city}' guide ~194
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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| city | string | yes | City name, e.g. 'Beverly Hills', 'Miami'. |
| procedure | string | yes | Procedure/specialty, e.g. 'rhinoplasty', 'breast augmentation', 'botox'. |

No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_community_thread Get a full community discussion ~116
Fetch a complete NavMDs community thread by id (the id returned by search_community, or the trailing number of a community.navmds.com/t/<slug>/<id> URL) — the original question plus every reply, in order. Use after search_community when you need the actual answers rather than an excerpt. Community posts are patient discussion, not medical advice.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | integer | yes | Community topic id, e.g. 117. |

List states/cities where NavMDs has doctors, with doctor counts. Useful for grounding a location filter.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | Max locations (default 150, ordered by doctor count). |
| state | string | – | Filter to a single state name. |
No output schema declared.

| limit | integer | – | Max procedures (default 100, ordered by doctor count). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search Search (connector-compatible) ~62
Search NavMDs doctors by free-text query. Returns a list of {id, title, url} results. Pass an id to the `fetch` tool to retrieve the full profile. (OpenAI connector-compatible.)
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Free-text search query. |
