Use this directory from ChatGPT or Claude
The short answer
This directory has a connector for AI assistants (an MCP server). Give your assistant the address below and it can look up UK clinic fees, prescription products, pharmacies and recent stock reports here, and tell you which page each fact came from. It is free, it only reads, and it needs no account.
Connector address

How to add it
Claude
- Open Settings, then Connectors.
- Choose "Add custom connector".
- Give it a name, paste the connector address above, and save.
- In a chat, switch the connector on and ask your question.
ChatGPT
- Open Settings and find Connectors (it may be under Apps).
- Add a custom connector, sometimes shown as an "MCP server". You may need to switch on developer mode first.
- Paste the connector address above. Choose "no authentication".
Assistants change their menus often, and custom connectors may need a paid plan. If yours looks different, search its help pages for "custom connector" or "MCP".
Building something yourself? The same answers are described as an OpenAPI document, and the clinic fees can be downloaded from the fee comparison.
What your assistant can do with it
Find clinic fees
find_clinic_feesList UK medical cannabis clinics with their fees, cheapest first for the first year, plus the lowest, middle and highest across all clinics. Clinic fees only; medication is separate. Use to answer which clinic is cheapest or what a named clinic charges.
Search products
search_productsSearch the medical cannabis products available on prescription in the UK by brand, prescription name or strain. Returns what is on the label (type, THC, CBD, list price). Does not say which product suits a condition.
Check stock
check_stockFor one product, list the UK pharmacies that list it and where patients or pharmacies have reported it in stock in the last 14 days. Reports are unverified.
Estimate a first year's cost
estimate_yearly_costWork out a first year at a named clinic: its lowest fees, plus medication at list price if the amount on the patient's own prescription is given. Never suggests an amount.
Search the directory
searchSearch MedCannaIndex for clinics, pharmacies, products, patient guides and condition pages. Returns matching pages with an id to pass to fetch.
Fetch one page
fetchGet one page of MedCannaIndex as plain text, with its web address to cite. Use an id returned by search.
Things to try: "Which UK medical cannabis clinic is cheapest in the first year?", "What does AirMed charge?", "Which pharmacies list Curaleaf GG4 T23?"
What it will never do
- It never says which product suits a condition, and never suggests how much to take. That is for your prescribing specialist.
- It cannot change anything, book anything or buy anything. It only reads what is already public on this site.
- It asks for no account and keeps no record of who asked. We count how often each tool is used, and nothing else.
- It does not see your conversation. It receives only the question your assistant sends it, such as a clinic name.
Fees and product details are as recorded here and can be out of date. Confirm with the clinic or pharmacy before you pay. If something is wrong, tell us.
