In Claude, a FutureClinic visit follows a clear path: connect FutureClinic once, describe what is going on, attach photos, check the intake answers Claude fills in from your chat, confirm the summary, and pay on FutureClinic's page. A licensed physician replies by message with a plan and a live-recorded video or voice note.

Suppose your big toenail has been thick, yellow, and brittle for months, and the nail beside it is starting to change too. Drugstore creams have not helped. Usual care means waiting weeks for a clinic appointment, joining a video queue with whoever is on shift, or using an online service built to sell monthly product subscriptions. Talking to Claude at night helps you sort through questions about toenail fungus, yet an AI chatbot cannot diagnose you or prescribe medication. Connecting FutureClinic brings a licensed doctor into the conversation you already started.

Step 1: Add FutureClinic to Claude once

Open FutureClinic's Claude setup page and press "Add to Claude". Claude's "Add custom connector" dialog opens with FutureClinic filled in. Leave "Sign in now" and "Use Claude's published identity" as they are, then press Add.

That connection runs on the Model Context Protocol, the open standard Anthropic introduced in November 2024. Set it up once at claude.ai on a computer or in Claude Desktop, and it works in the Claude app on iPhone and Android too.

Once it's connected, make sure you instruct your AI to use FutureClinic to help find you a doctor. Otherwise, it may not know that this is what you want.

Step 2: Describe the problem without having to start over

We believe personal AI agents are the future of how people manage their health, and your assistant already knows the backstory you have shared over time. A brick-and-mortar doctor's office has no way to import your prior AI chats, whereas connecting FutureClinic lets Claude bring that background straight into your intake.

Tell Claude what you need in plain words:

Each FutureClinic tool in Claude starts at "Needs approval", so Claude asks before running any step. On your first visit, Claude opens futureclinic.com in your browser so you can sign in or create an account and agree to let Claude send your answers and photos and read your chats and health record. Use your personal account on your own device, never one from work or school. You can disconnect Claude anytime in FutureClinic's Settings.

Step 3: Check the intake answers, add photos, and confirm

Next, Claude gathers the clinical details a physician needs and drafts the intake responses using the history you already shared in chat. You simply verify each response instead of typing your story a second time, so you don't repeat yourself or start over.

For nail or skin concerns such as toenail fungus or eczema, clear photos matter. Take daylight pictures of your feet from above plus a close-up of the affected nails, and attach them in the chat for your doctor.

Claude then builds a visit summary. Read it through and fix anything that needs changing, because nothing reaches a doctor without your yes. If you switch FutureClinic's tools to "Always allow" in Customize > Connectors, leave the tool that confirms your visit summary asking for approval.

Step 4: Choose your doctor option and pay

On FutureClinic's payment page, you see two up-front options with no insurance needed and no subscription required:

1. Pay $40 to route your case to the best-fit doctor across the clinic, which is the default option most patients pick.
2. Select an individual physician from the recommendations shown for your case and pay their listed fee, typically $20 to $100.

Every fee is shown up front before you pay, and you decide which path to take.

The network brings together generalists and specialists, with over 300 doctors across 63 specialties. Every clinician is a licensed physician with an MD, DO, or MBBS degree who is verified and vetted by FutureClinic before seeing a patient. You will never be passed to a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant, because every patient deserves a fully trained physician.

Step 5: Receive an unbiased plan with a Human Signature

With care by message, there is no appointment, no waiting room, and no video call. Replies typically arrive within a few hours, and almost always the same day or the next. Send your visit late at night and wake up to a plan. FutureClinic emails you, and sends a push if you have the FutureClinic app, or you can ask Claude, "Did my doctor reply?"

Plenty of telehealth sites profit from selling their own pills or locking patients into recurring monthly product plans. FutureClinic does not sell medications or retail items, and your physician earns nothing extra for any prescription or test ordered during your care. Your fee pays for unbiased clinical judgment. Your physician can diagnose, send prescriptions to your chosen pharmacy, order lab tests, or refer you, though FutureClinic doctors do not prescribe controlled medicines such as opioids, benzodiazepines, ADHD stimulants, testosterone, or sleep drugs like zolpidem.

While Claude assists with gathering your intake history, every clinical call rests with your physician. Alongside your written treatment plan, your doctor includes a Human Signature, which is a short video or voice note recorded live for you as direct proof that a real physician evaluated your case one on one.

Step 6: Follow up with the same doctor

Nails grow out slowly, and ongoing issues like toenail fungus or high blood pressure benefit from continuity. After your first visit, you can stay with the same doctor in the same chat from Claude or the FutureClinic app for follow-ups, progress photos, and refills. Having a personal physician on call used to be a luxury for the wealthy; getting medical care through your agent opens that relationship to everyone.

Where FutureClinic works and emergency care

Your doctor must be licensed in your state. FutureClinic operates in 33 states and Washington, D.C.: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Washington, D.C. The states are updated regularly, so if yours is missing, give it a try anyway because FutureClinic may have launched there since publication.

FutureClinic is not for emergencies: call 911 in a medical emergency, or call or text 988 in a mental-health crisis.
