A side-by-side look at the Taiwan Health MCP and Open Quality MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Taiwan Health MCP for biology & bioinformatics work; choose Open Quality for biology & bioinformatics as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
health_check, calculate_chads2_vasc, calculate_wells_pe.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

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).No tool names declared yet. Check the project README from the listing page.
Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
