Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Clarity MCP Tools (9)
check_ingredient
Verdict + evidence tier + citation for a cosmetic/food/supplement ingredient, under one condition lens or several at once (`lenses: [..]`)
check_stack
Audit a supplement stack in one call: per-item condition verdicts plus every curated interaction within the stack
find_alternatives
Safer same-category swaps for a flagged product — general quality-score ranked, lens-flag screened, coverage-honest (food/skincare; verify the pick with `scan_barcode`)
strain_lookup
Verdict, tier, PMID citation and safety flags for a cannabis or mushroom species/strain
scan_barcode
Look up a product by UPC/EAN, flag its ingredients for a condition lens, and surface any active FDA recall
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Clarity MCP is categorized under Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics and uses a remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport. In contrast, Fhir MCP Server belongs to Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics using local stdio subprocess. Select Clarity MCP when you need capabilities focused on biology, medicine and bioinformatics and Fhir MCP Server when you require tools for biology, medicine and bioinformatics.
Category-specific product quality score by barcode (food / skincare / supplement), each dimension distinct, always with data-quality coverage
check_recall
Consumer-product recall matches by brand and optional product name, with source URLs and a medical-device scope boundary
Fhir MCP Server Tools (13)
get_capabilities
Retrieves metadata about a specified FHIR resource type, including its supported search parameters and custom operations.
type
The FHIR resource type name (e.g., "Patient", "Observation", "Encounter")
search
Executes a standard FHIR search interaction on a given resource type, returning a bundle or list of matching resources.
searchParam
A mapping of FHIR search parameter names to their desired values (e.g., {"family":"Simpson","birthdate":"1956-05-12"}).
response_filter_fhirpaths
(Optional) An array of FHIRPath expressions (e.g., `["Patient.name", "Patient.birthDate", "Bundle.link.where(relation='next').url"]`) to apply to the resources in the response bundle.
read
Performs a FHIR "read" interaction to retrieve a single resource instance by its type and resource ID, optionally refining the response with search parameters or custom operations.
id
The logical ID of a specific FHIR resource instance.
operation
The name of a custom FHIR operation or extended query defined for the resource (e.g., "$everything").
create
Executes a FHIR "create" interaction to persist a new resource of the specified type.
payload
A JSON object representing the full FHIR resource body to be created.
update
Performs a FHIR "update" interaction by replacing an existing resource instance's content with the provided payload.
delete
Execute a FHIR "delete" interaction on a specific resource instance.
