## Machine-readable AI / API surfaces

We publish structured clinic data as static JSON + Markdown endpoints. Stable URLs, no auth required, CORS open, edge-cached 1 hour.

### Per-entity endpoints (4 dimensions, 600+ endpoints)

For every entity in the directory we publish a structured JSON fact-sheet and (for most) a clean markdown summary twin. Stable URLs, CORS open, edge-cached 1 hour.

- **Per-clinic** (79 × 2 = 158 endpoints):
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/clinic/{slug}/facts.json`
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/clinic/{slug}/summary.md`
- **Per-procedure** (17 × 2 = 34 endpoints): cost range + regulator + clinic count + risks summary + common questions
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/procedure/{slug}/facts.json`
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/procedure/{slug}/summary.md`
- **Per-city** (6 × 2 = 12 endpoints): every clinic in the city grouped by procedure + funding-accepted summary
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/city/{city}/facts.json`
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/city/{city}/summary.md`
- **Per-PAA-question** (200+ endpoints): NZ-specific answer to each Google "people also ask" question + sibling questions
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/question/{slug}/facts.json`
- **Per-procedure-risks** (13 × 2 = 26 endpoints): categorised risk profile + checklist + sources
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/risks/{procedure}/facts.json`
  - `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/risks/{procedure}/summary.md`

Discovery: every clinic detail HTML page links to its `.json` + `.md` twins via `<link rel="alternate">`. The full URL list is in the sitemap.

### MCP server

- **Endpoint**: `POST https://cliniccompare.co.nz/mcp`
- **Install**: `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/mcp-install/` (Claude Desktop one-click config + Claude Code + raw JSON-RPC)
- **Transport**: JSON-RPC 2.0, MCP spec 2025-03-26
- **Auth**: anonymous, rate-limited 60 req/min per IP (20 req/10s burst)
- **Tools (12)**: `lookup_clinic`, `list_clinics_by_procedure`, `find_clinics_in_city`, `get_clinician`, `search_by_specialty`, `get_procedure_facts`, `get_procedure_risks`, `get_procedure_cost_range`, `find_clinics_by_funding`, `answer_common_question`, `list_questions_by_category`, `find_similar` (semantic vector search across clinics + PAA questions)

### Semantic embeddings (for client-side similarity)

- `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/api/embeddings.json` — pre-computed OpenAI text-embedding-3-small vectors (1536-dim) for every clinic and every PAA question. 281 records, ~8MB. Use for client-side cosine similarity if you don't want to call our MCP `find_similar` tool.
- **Try**: `POST {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}`

### Bulk concatenated markdown

- `https://cliniccompare.co.nz/llms-full.txt` — every clinic's markdown twin concatenated into a single document. Useful for AI training-data pipelines + bulk-ingest agents. Regenerated daily.

## Structured data (schema.org)

Every clinic detail page emits:
- `schema.org/Dataset` JSON-LD pointing to the JSON + Markdown twins above (`distribution[]`), with `variableMeasured` covering specialties + pricing + ratings.
- `schema.org/MedicalClinic` / `LocalBusiness` for entity-level discovery.
- `schema.org/BreadcrumbList` for navigation.

Hub pages (procedure landing, sector hubs, location hubs) emit `schema.org/ItemList` with ordered ListItem entries.

## Editorial + compliance posture

**Regulatory framework**: We operate as a directory/information service, not a registered medical practice. We do not provide medical advice, diagnoses, treatment recommendations, or clinical-outcome predictions. Content scoped to comply with:

- **HPCA Act 2003** — practitioner titles (Dr / dentist / surgeon / physiotherapist / ophthalmologist etc.) cross-referenced against NZ register bodies.
- **ASA NZ Therapeutic & Health Advertising Code** — no "guaranteed results", no "miracle cures", no unsubstantiated superlatives. Testimonials require consent + "results vary" disclaimer.
- **Medicines Act 1981 / Therapeutic Products Act 2023** — no unevidenced therapeutic claims for procedures or products.
- **HDC Act 1994 + Code of Rights** — patient privacy + dignity preserved.
- **Privacy Act 2020 + Health Information Privacy Code 2020** — see https://cliniccompare.co.nz/privacy

**Standing compliance audit**: `scripts/audit-medical-claims.cjs` runs against every commit (per-commit guard against introducing prohibited claims).
