GP Connect

GP Connect is a national NHS England interoperability programme that enables authorised clinical and patient-facing systems to securely access and update patient records held in GP principal clinical systems (EMIS Web, SystmOne, Vision). The programme exposes a suite of FHIR-based REST APIs spanning structured clinical record access (medications, allergies, immunisations, consultations, problems, investigations), unstructured document retrieval, appointment management, document sending, record updating, and patient-facing services for patients to view their own records, manage repeat prescriptions, and book appointments via the NHS App. Clinical system APIs are mediated through the Spine Security Proxy (SSP) over HSCN; patient-facing APIs use NHS login OpenID Connect at P9 identity verification. Access requires NHS England onboarding, an approved clinical use case, information governance compliance, and a clinical safety officer holding DCB0129 and DCB0160 certification. The service is funded by NHS England at no direct API cost to consuming organisations.

GP Connect publishes 9 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Appointment API, Documents API, FHIR API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include NHS, FHIR, Healthcare, GP Records, and Appointments.

The GP Connect catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.

GP Connect’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, signup flow, authentication, getting-started guide, GitHub presence, sandbox, and 13 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document
Delegated User Identity +6 pts — a served discovery document listing authorization_code in grant_types_supported (served), else an oauth2 authorizationCode flow or openIdConnect declared in an OpenAPI (documented)

7 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Government and Open Data	standard	17.2 (thin)	-	-
UK G-Cloud Suppliers (UK public-sector cloud procurement)	standard	17.2 (thin)	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
