How It Works

The server loads structured evidence data (clinical doses, form comparisons, medication-nutrient interactions) and exposes it through MCP tools. When an AI assistant receives a supplement question, it calls the appropriate tool and gets back formatted, citation-backed recommendations.

Product rankings are based on cost-per-effective-daily-dose, third-party certification status, and clinical evidence — not sponsorship.

    A4.2/5.0

    Scored across 5 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose: recommending supplements for conditions, comparing forms, checking medication-induced depletions, providing dosage info, and classifying product forms. No two tools overlap in function.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (recommend_supplement, compare_forms, check_interactions, get_dosage, classify_form). The verbs are descriptive and the pattern is uniform.

    Tool Count5/5

    Five tools is well-scoped for the domain, covering the key advisory workflows without bloat. Each tool addresses a distinct user need, making the set concise yet functional.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool set covers core workflows: condition-based recommendations, form comparisons, medication depletions, dosing, and product quality checks. A minor gap is lack of a tool for supplement-supplement interaction checking, but this is not a critical omission for the intended scope.
