MyHealthfinder MCP — U.S. preventive-services & health-screening guidance
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_preventive_recommendations | PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what health screenings / preventive services / checkups should a -year-old <man/woman> get", "recommended screenings for age X", "when should I get screened for colorectal/breast/etc.". Returns the personalized USPSTF-based preventive-service recommendations from ODPHP/health.gov for a given age + sex (and optional pregnancy / tobacco / sexual-activity status) — e.g. age 50 male → colorectal cancer screening, blood pressure, HIV, vaccines. Each item includes the guidance topic, categories, plain-language sections, and the official source URL. |
search_health_topics | Full-text search ODPHP/health.gov health topics by keyword (e.g. "colorectal", "diabetes", "blood pressure"). Returns matching topics with id, title, categories, and source URL. Use get_health_topic with an id for the full guidance. |
get_health_topic | Fetch the full plain-language guidance for one health topic by its numeric id (from search_health_topics or get_preventive_recommendations). Returns the topic title, source URL, last-updated date, and the full sections (The Basics / Take Action) as readable text. |
list_health_topics | Browse the ODPHP/health.gov catalog — list all health topics or all categories (Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Health, Screening Tests, …). Use to discover what guidance exists before searching. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/myhealthfinder/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
