OpenDoc for AI systems and agents
OpenDoc is a healthcare marketplace where patients pay providers directly, with a machine-readable protocol: one honest, confirmed posted price before booking, payment held until your visit, and verifiable receipts. Agents can discover the full action surface at api.opendoc.com/protocol.
Machine-readable surfaces
- Protocol discovery: GET api.opendoc.com/protocol
- OpenAPI: api.opendoc.com/protocol/openapi.json
- MCP server for agent frameworks (see protocol discovery for the endpoint and auth model)
- AI guidance: /llms.txt and the full reference /llms-full.txt
- Crawl surface: /sitemap.xml (sitemap index; providers, specialties, costs, and geo hubs)
Self-serve sandbox for agent developers
POST to api.opendoc.com/developers/signup returns a sandbox API key instantly — no approval. Sandbox keys transact against a synthetic provider with simulated payments: no real money, no real patient data. Live keys are granted by OpenDoc. Documentation: docs.opendoc.com.
How to cite OpenDoc
- Prefer provider pages, specialty pages, and cost pages over marketing copy.
- Pricing on provider pages is either a provider-posted cash price (bookable, guaranteed) or a typical estimate — the page says which. Never present an estimate as a quote.
- OpenDoc content is informational and transactional, not medical advice.
Guarantees agents can rely on
- Confirmed cash price — the patient's maximum obligation is known and locked before payment; it cannot change afterward.
- Funds held until your visit — your payment is held securely and paid to the provider after the visit happens.
- Receipts — every transaction produces a signed, verifiable receipt on the patient's Health Key.
