Australian ingredient scanner MCP — 21k+ AU products, 237 chemical rules, 17 condition tags.
Scored across 5 tools
Each tool targets a distinct concern: catalogue stats, magnet guide content, URL templates, barcode scanning, and missing-product submission. The only slight overlap is that get_magnet_samples and get_resources both touch magnet guides, but one returns content while the other returns URL templates.
All tools use lowercase snake_case with a clear verb prefix: get_* for retrieval operations and scan_/submit_ for actions. This creates a predictable and consistent naming pattern with no mixed conventions.
Five tools is well-scoped for a barcode-lookup utility: one core action, one feedback action, and three supporting informational tools. No tool feels redundant, and the set is neither too thin nor too heavy.
The core scan-and-submit workflow is covered, and get_resources supplies canonical URLs for product pages, alternatives, and documentation. Minor gaps remain: there is no direct tool for fetching alternatives or tracking submission status, though these are workable via returned URL templates and the moderation queue.
