Doctor
Doctor is the in-app health drawer. It reports the current local instance status from the backend health service; it is not a separate scheduled diagnostics subsystem.
Open it from the layout status button / Settings area. The drawer calls the backend each time it opens or when you click refresh.
Current Backend API
curl http://localhost:18088/api/v1/system/health \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"Response shape:
{
"code": 200,
"msg": "success",
"data": {
"overall": "healthy",
"checks": [
{
"name": "default-model",
"status": "healthy",
"message": "Default model: qwen-plus",
"action": null
}
]
}
}overall is one of healthy, warning, or error. Each check has:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
name | Stable check key such as default-model, database, browser, provider:<id>, mcp:<name> |
status | healthy, warning, or error |
message | Short diagnostic text shown in the drawer |
action | Optional { label, route } hint for where to fix the issue |
What It Checks Today
The current SystemHealthService checks:
| Check | What it verifies | Typical action |
|---|---|---|
| Default model | A default model is configured and loadable | /settings/models |
| Providers | API-key providers are configured when required | /settings/models |
| Enabled MCP servers | Enabled MCP servers have a successful connection result | /settings/mcp-servers |
| Database initialization | First-run bootstrap has completed | /setup |
| Browser diagnostics | Browser launch pre-flight for browser tooling | /api/v1/system/browser-health |
There is also a direct browser diagnostics endpoint:
curl http://localhost:18088/api/v1/system/browser-health \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"Not Implemented In The Current Source Tree
Older docs mentioned /api/v1/doctor/run, /api/v1/doctor/checks, /api/v1/doctor/history, scheduled background Doctor runs, mate_doctor_check, and mate_doctor_check_history. Those endpoints and tables are not present in the current backend source. Use /api/v1/system/health for the current health surface.
