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).- +47 more on the listing page

check_ingredientLook up a cosmetic/food/supplement ingredient in Clarity's condition-aware database. Returns verdict, evidence tier (Gold/Silver/Bronze), and citation for a given condition lens. Pass `lenses` (array) instead of `lens` to check several conditions in ONE call (profile-shaped checking, e.g. a user who is pregnant AND has MCAS) — results then carry a per-lens breakdown under `lenses{}`. Every result includes human_url, a live Clarity page to hand the user as the source link.check_stackAudit a supplement/ingredient STACK in one call: per-item condition-lens verdicts (evidence-graded, cited where citations exist) PLUS every curated ingredient-to-ingredient interaction found WITHIN the stack (type, severity, mechanism, source). Use when a user takes multiple supplements together. Supports multi-lens via `lenses`. Absence of an interaction is NOT proof of safety — the curated set is growing. Every result includes human_url for the user.find_alternativesFind 2-3 safer swaps for a flagged product: same-category products that rate good/excellent on Clarity's general food/skincare quality score AND contain no ingredient flagged for the given condition lens. Seed by barcode (preferred — e.g. right after scan_barcode flags something) or product_name. Each alternative carries its score, ingredient-recognition coverage, and human_url. The score is a GENERAL quality score, not a condition verdict — verify a chosen alternative with scan_barcode or check_stack. Food and skincare only (supplement swaps are declined honestly for now).strain_lookupLook up a cannabis or mushroom species/strain in Clarity's database. Returns verdict, evidence tier, PMID citation, and safety flags.scan_barcodeLook up a product by barcode (Open Food Facts / Open Beauty Facts), match its ingredients against Clarity's database, return which ingredients are flagged for the given condition lens, AND flag any active FDA recall for the product (recall_flag + recalls[], sourced from FDA — verify via source_url). Anonymous calls are read-only: a local-mirror miss may query the public source but does not refresh Clarity's mirror or harvest tokens. An authenticated caller may opt into each bounded side effect with persist_mirror:true and harvest_crosswalk:true.validate_claimFact-check a free-text health/safety claim against Clarity's human-curated, evidence-graded database. Given a statement (e.g. 'fenugreek is safe while breastfeeding') and a condition lens, returns whether Clarity's curated position supports / contradicts / does-not-cover it, plus any verified citation on file. Anonymous calls never write the review queue. An authenticated caller may explicitly opt into a bounded, redacted review signal with review_consent:true. Do not include personal information. Descriptive — not medical advice.check_interactionCheck Clarity's curated ingredient-to-ingredient interaction database. Give one ingredient to list everything it interacts with (e.g. 'iron'), or two ingredients to check a specific pair (e.g. 'calcium' + 'iron'). Returns interaction_type, severity (Beneficial/Moderate/High), mechanism, clinical_note, source, and whether it affects lactation/infant/absorption. Queries both directions of the pair. Absence of a result is NOT proof of safety — the set is curated and growing. Descriptive with sources, not medical advice.score_productGet Clarity's product quality score by barcode. Returns category-specific scores (food: nutrition/additive/processing/organic; skincare: irritation/allergen/endocrine/condition; supplement: transparency/safety/label_quality/complexity — dose transparency penalizes proprietary blends, safety flags high-risk botanicals) — these are DISTINCT and never merged — plus per-lens fit with match coverage. Always includes data_quality/coverage so a score is never given without its confidence.check_recallCheck whether a consumer product or brand has an FDA/consumer recall on file — supplements, food, cosmetics (NOT medical devices). Query by `brand` (primary), optionally narrow by `product_name`. Returns recall_flag, whether any active Class I (most serious) recall exists, and each matching record with classification, reason, date, status, and a source_url to verify. Recall data has no barcode, so matches are brand/name text matches — confirm via source_url. For medical-DEVICE recalls, use the radar MCP (com.healthai/radar).

Frequently asked questions
Taiwan Health MCP is categorized under Biology & Bioinformatics and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. Clarity MCP belongs to Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Pick Taiwan Health MCP for biology & bioinformatics work and Clarity MCP 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. Clarity MCP 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 thehealthai-clarity-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
