For Agents
Find doctors near a latitude/longitude with autocomplete matching. Use as a lightweight doctor-finder lookup with no authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Medcorder Nearby Doctor API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Medcorder Nearby Doctor API.
Search for doctors near a given latitude and longitude
Use partial-text autocomplete matching to refine candidate names
Return ranked doctor results suitable for a directory list view
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to find a doctor near a patient's location, Search for cardiologists within walking distance of an address, Get doctor suggestions for a partial name as the user types, List doctors near a given latitude and longitude
Not supported: Does not handle appointment booking, insurance verification, or medical records — use for nearby doctor lookup by lat/lon and autocomplete only.
Medcorder's Nearby Doctor API returns a ranked list of doctors close to a given latitude and longitude, with autocomplete-friendly text matching to support search-as-you-type interfaces. The single endpoint accepts a coordinate pair and a partial query string and is intended for in-app doctor finder flows where the user is searching for a provider near their current location. Healthcare apps and patient-facing assistants use it as a lightweight directory lookup that requires no authentication.
Support search-as-you-type by accepting short query fragments
Run without authentication for low-friction client-side use
Patterns agents use Medcorder Nearby Doctor API for, with concrete tasks.
★ In-App Doctor Finder
Power a doctor-finder screen in a patient-facing app where the user grants location access and types part of a doctor's name or specialty. The /doctors endpoint returns ranked nearby providers based on lat, lon, and the partial query, suitable for an autocomplete dropdown. The result is a low-latency provider lookup without the app shipping its own directory.
For lat=37.7749, lon=-122.4194, and the autocomplete fragment 'card', call GET /doctors and return the top five results with name and address.
Telehealth Triage Hand-Off
After a telehealth chatbot determines a patient needs an in-person visit, suggest nearby doctors using their reported address. The /doctors endpoint resolves a list of candidate providers given the coordinates, which the agent presents alongside an option to book directly with the patient's preferred provider system. This bridges the virtual-to-physical hand-off in many telehealth workflows.
Given a patient's geocoded address (37.4419, -122.1430) and the term 'derm' from the triage transcript, call GET /doctors and return three nearby dermatologists with their addresses for the patient to choose from.
AI Agent for New-Patient Routing
Build an agent that takes a free-text patient question like 'I need a paediatrician near my home' and returns shortlisted nearby doctors. The agent geocodes the address, searches Jentic for 'find a doctor near a location', loads the Medcorder schema, and executes the call. The returned candidates feed a follow-up routing step where the patient is helped with booking. This compresses a multi-tab manual search into a single conversational turn.
Geocode '500 Castro St, Mountain View, CA' to coordinates, then call GET /doctors with the term 'pediatric' and return a markdown list of the top five providers with name, address, and approximate distance.
1 endpoints — medcorder's nearby doctor api returns a ranked list of doctors close to a given latitude and longitude, with autocomplete-friendly text matching to support search-as-you-type interfaces.

/doctors
Find doctors near a lat/lon with autocomplete text
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Medcorder requires no credentials, but Jentic still routes calls through the MAXsystem execution layer so usage is logged and policy-controlled in the same way as authenticated APIs. Agents do not need to manage a key.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g. 'find a doctor near a location') and Jentic returns the matching Medcorder operation with its lat/lon and term parameters, so the agent can call the right endpoint without reading the static.medcorder.com spec.
Time to first call
Direct Medcorder integration: under a day given the single endpoint, but still requires reading the YAML spec and wiring up an HTTP client. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
GraphHopper
Routing to estimate travel time from the patient to each candidate doctor
Use GraphHopper after Medcorder returns candidates to rank or filter providers by realistic travel time rather than straight-line distance.
Specific to using Medcorder Nearby Doctor API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Medcorder Nearby Doctor API use?
The published spec defines no authentication scheme; the /doctors endpoint is reachable without credentials. Through Jentic, the call still flows through the MAXsystem execution layer for auditability, but no key is required for the agent to use the API.
Can I autocomplete doctor names with the Medcorder API?
Yes. The /doctors endpoint accepts a partial query string alongside the lat/lon, returning results that match the fragment. This is designed for search-as-you-type doctor-finder UIs where each keystroke triggers a refined lookup.
What are the rate limits for the Medcorder Nearby Doctor API?
The spec does not publish explicit rate limits and the API is intended for in-app directory lookups rather than bulk scraping. Implement client-side debounce on autocomplete input and back off on any 429 responses to stay within fair-use bounds.
How do I find doctors near a location through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'find a doctor near a location', load the schema for GET /doctors, and execute with lat, lon, and the optional autocomplete term. Jentic returns the result set unchanged; no credential is required.
Does the Medcorder API support specialty filtering?
Specialty filtering is achieved indirectly through the autocomplete query — passing a fragment like 'cardio' or 'derm' biases the matched providers toward that specialty. There is no dedicated specialty filter parameter; agents should map free-text user intent to a representative fragment.
