  No official hosted MCP server is published by Healthdirect/NHSD. This is a
  CANDIDATE tool list derived from the real, documented operations in the
  official NHSD Postman collection — a starting point for an agent-facing wrapper
  over the read-only FHIR provider directory, not a live endpoint. Every tool
  maps to a genuine, verified request in the collection; inputs mirror the FHIR
  search parameters. Auth (OAuth 2.0 client_credentials + x-api-key) and NHSD
  onboarding would gate any real deployment.
