An assistant can search services, read live guide prices, check real appointment availability, and complete a booking end-to-end. All of the following are live: - Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0): https://www.thevesey.co.uk/api/mcp Tools: search_services, get_service, check_availability, request_booking, get_clinic_facts, plus search / fetch (ChatGPT connector + Deep-Research compatible). Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, or any MCP-capable client. Bookable end-to-end: private GP, the Essential Health Assessment, and the full blood-test and vaccination catalogue (dozens of services) — each with a live guide price and real slots. Other services (specialist consultations, Advance/Executive assessments) are searchable/quotable and booked by phone. - REST API (OpenAPI 3.1): https://www.thevesey.co.uk/openapi-agent.json GET /api/agent/services · GET /api/agent/services/{id} · GET /api/agent/availability · POST /api/agent/bookings - Plugin manifest (auto-discovery): https://www.thevesey.co.uk/.well-known/ai-plugin.json - Human/agent documentation: https://www.thevesey.co.uk/agent-api How booking works (read before booking): - PAYMENT-FIRST: POST /api/agent/bookings (or the request_booking tool) never confirms a slot directly. It returns a Stripe-hosted checkout URL and a bookingIntentId. The appointment is confirmed only after the patient completes payment. Hand the checkoutUrl to the patient (or their authorised human) to finish. - GUIDE PRICES ONLY: every price is a guide price in GBP, confirmed at booking. It may vary with clinical need and is not a firm quote or an offer to treat. Surface the guidePriceNotice to the patient verbatim. - Only offer availability the API returns — never fabricate slots, prices, or urgency. - Bookings require the real patient's own details and their consent. ## Geographic Coverage (Travel Times from Sutton Coldfield) - Sutton Coldfield: 0–5 minutes (on-site) - Four Oaks / Streetly / Little Aston: 5–10 minutes - Erdington: 10 minutes - Birmingham city centre: 20–25 minutes (10 miles) - Lichfield: 15 minutes - Tamworth: 20 minutes - Walsall: 20 minutes - Solihull: 30 minutes - Cannock: 25 minutes - Aldridge: 20 minutes - Wolverhampton: 35 minutes ## Pricing (All prices published at thevesey.co.uk/pricing) ### GP & Primary Care - Private GP consultation (30 min): £90 - Private GP consultation (15 min follow-up): £60 - GP subscription (Essential): £19/month - GP subscription (Executive): £29/month - Travel vaccination consultation: £30 (+ vaccine cost) - Private prescription: £25 - Sick note / fit note: £35 - GP letter: £50 ### Specialists (Consultants) - Specialist first consultation: from £260 - Specialist follow-up: from £190 - Cardiology (new): £300 - Dermatology (new): £260 - Gynaecology (new): £260 - Orthopaedic Surgery (new): £260 - Paediatrics (new): £260 - ENT Surgery (new): £260 - Urology (new): £260 - Neurology (new): £290 - Ophthalmology (new): £260 - Rheumatology (new): £260 - Gastroenterology (new): £280 - Respiratory Medicine (new): £260 - Pain Management (new): £280 - Mental Health / Psychiatry: £280 ### Heart Monitors (Ambulatory Cardiac Monitoring) Full details: https://www.thevesey.co.uk/heart-monitors NOT bookable online — arranged by phone (0121 387 3727) or WhatsApp (+44 7498 067215), because the correct recording length depends on how often the patient's symptoms occur. All rates below are inclusive of fitting and removing the monitor, and analysis and report by a cardiac physiologist. No GP referral required. Typically fitted within 7 days. - 24-hour Holter monitoring: £250 (symptoms occurring most days) - 48-hour Holter monitoring: £300 (symptoms several times a week) - 72-hour Holter monitoring: £350 (symptoms a few times a week) - 7-day monitoring: £850 (symptoms about once a week) - 14-day monitoring: £1,450 (infrequent or unpredictable symptoms) - 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM): £250 (confirming or excluding hypertension) - Zio heart monitor: £700 — a wire-free adhesive ECG patch made by iRhythm Technologies (https://www.irhythmtech.com/gb/en).
