Taiwan Health MCP tools 58
health_checkReturn runtime readiness of the MCP server and every module-backed service. Call this first before any workflow to confirm the required services are online.calculate_chads2_vascCHA₂DS₂-VASc stroke-risk score for non-valvular atrial fibrillation (0–9). Accepts raw age/sex and computes brackets internally; also returns the 2024 ESC CHA₂DS₂-VA adjusted score (sex removed). Decision support only.calculate_wells_peWells criteria for pulmonary embolism (two-tier + three-tier risk). Binary findings are booleans; heart_rate_bpm is raw and the >100 criterion is computed.calculate_wells_dvtWells criteria for deep-vein thrombosis (two-tier + three-tier risk). All items are binary clinical findings.calculate_das28DAS28 rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. formula=esr needs esr (mm/h); formula=crp needs crp (mg/L). Joint counts are 28-joint (0–28); global_health is a 0–100 VAS (not the 0–10 scale CDAI uses). Returns score and activity band (remission/low/moderate/high).calculate_cdaiCDAI (lab-free) rheumatoid arthritis disease activity (0–76). Tender and swollen counts use the 28-joint assessment (0–28 each); patient and provider global assessments are 0–10.calculate_bmiBody mass index with Taiwan (Asian) cutoffs: <18.5 underweight, 18.5–23.9 normal, 24–26.9 overweight, ≥27 obese. Height in cm (not metres), weight in kg.calculate_egfrEstimated glomerular filtration rate using the CKD-EPI 2021 creatinine equation (race-free), adults ≥18 only. serum_creatinine_mgdl in mg/dL (convert µmol/L by dividing by 88.4). Returns eGFR in mL/min/1.73m² and KDIGO CKD stage.calculate_has_bledHAS-BLED bleeding risk on oral anticoagulation (0–9). Accepts raw age (the >65 criterion is computed) and raw systolic BP (the H criterion is computed as SBP >160 mmHg). Returns score and high/low bleeding-risk category (≥3 high).calculate_curb65CURB-65 community-acquired pneumonia severity (0–5). BUN in mg/dL (threshold >19), respiratory rate ≥30, hypotension SBP<90 or DBP≤60, confusion, age ≥65.calculate_qsofaqSOFA sepsis screening (0–3): respiratory rate ≥22, altered mentation (GCS <15), systolic BP ≤100. ≥2 suggests sepsis and further evaluation.calculate_gcsGlasgow Coma Scale (3–15). eye_response 1–4, verbal_response 1–5, motor_response 1–6. Returns total, E/V/M sub-scores, and mild/moderate/severe severity (≤8 severe).- +46 more on the listing page
Clinicaltables tools 10
conditions"What is [condition]" / "look up medical condition by name" / "find a disease called [X]" / "patient-friendly medical term for [Y]" — search the NLM patient-friendly medical conditions vocabulary (~700 common conditions written for lay readers). Returns canonical names like "Migraine", "Type 2 diabetes". Use for symptom-to-condition lookup, intake forms, or simplifying clinical text for patients.icd10cm"What's the ICD-10 code for [diagnosis]" / "diagnosis code lookup" / "billing code for [condition]" / "EHR code for [X]" — search ICD-10-CM diagnostic codes (US clinical modification, ~96k codes). Returns code + full description. Use for medical billing, EHR diagnosis coding, claim coding. Example: terms="diab" → E11.9 Type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications.icd9cm"Old ICD-9 code for [diagnosis]" / "pre-2015 diagnosis codes" — search legacy ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes. Use ONLY when working with pre-2015 US clinical records; new claims must use icd10cm. Same shape as icd10cm.procedures"What is the procedure called [X]" / "medical procedure name lookup" / "patient-friendly name for [surgery]" — search clinical procedure names (NLM curated, ~7k entries). Returns short names like "Appendectomy", "Knee replacement". Patient-facing language; use for forms or intake screens. This vocabulary is SMALL and curated, so common terms can legitimately miss ("colonoscopy" and "MRI" both return 0, verified 2026-09-16) — a no_match here means "not in this list", not "no such procedure". For billing codes use icd10cm or a CPT source instead.drugs"Drug name lookup" / "find prescription [X]" / "medication autocomplete" / "RxCUI for [drug]" / "what does [pill] treat" / "available strengths for [drug]" — search RxTerms (NLM prescribing-vocabulary derived from RxNorm, ~22k drug names with route/strength). Returns names like "Aspirin (Chewable)", "Lisinopril (Oral Pill)". Use for prescription entry, drug name autocomplete, or as a stepping-stone to RxNorm RxCUI lookups. Pass ef="STRENGTHS_AND_FORMS,RXCUIS" to include dosage strengths and RxNorm IDs.loinc"LOINC code for [lab test]" / "standard code for blood test [X]" / "lab result identifier lookup" / "normalize lab name [Y]" — search LOINC lab test codes (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes, universal lab test identifiers). Returns codes like "2093-3 Cholesterol [Mass/Vol] Ser/Plas". Use when normalizing lab results across institutions.npi_individual"Find a doctor / clinician / physician by name" / "look up NPI for [provider]" / "verify a doctor's credentials" / "what's [Dr. X]'s NPI" — search the NPPES National Provider Identifier registry for individual US healthcare providers (~5M entries). Returns NPI numbers + provider names. terms can be a name fragment, NPI, or specialty. Use ef to include address, specialty, gender.npi_organization"Find a hospital / clinic by name" / "look up NPI for [organization]" / "what's [Mayo Clinic]'s NPI" / "verify a healthcare facility" — search the NPPES NPI registry for organizational providers (~1.8M entries) — hospitals, clinics, group practices. Same shape as npi_individual. terms can be org name, NPI, or city.ucum"Unit of measure code for [X]" / "standard UCUM unit for [Y]" / "mg/dL code" — search UCUM (the Unified Code for Units of Measure, used by FHIR, LOINC, and most modern health-IT systems). Returns codes like "mg/dL", "[in_i]" (inch). Use when normalizing lab result units or rendering measurements.disease_names"UMLS code for [disease]" / "clinical name for rare disease [X]" / "look up a syndrome by name" / "find CUI for [condition]" — search the NLM Disease Names vocabulary (UMLS-derived, broader than `conditions`; includes rare diseases, syndromes, clinical terminology, ~12k entries). Returns UMLS CUIs (e.g., C0011860) plus canonical names. Use when you need clinical-grade vocabulary linkage rather than patient-friendly labels.

Frequently asked questions
Taiwan Health MCP is categorized under Biology & Bioinformatics and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. Clinicaltables belongs to Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Taiwan Health MCP for biology & bioinformatics work and Clinicaltables for biology & bioinformatics.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client. Taiwan Health MCP has no confirmed install command yet — follow its own setup instructions.
Taiwan Health MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Clinicaltables has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add taiwan-health-mcp and clinicaltables as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
