# Cholesterol Risk Calculator AI Agent Connect

> Cholesterol Risk Calculator MCP gives your AI client the ability to run ASCVD risk calculations and determine lipid targets. It handles the math for 10-year cardiovascular risk, evaluates risk enhancers like family history, and provides high-level clinical considerations for medical discussions based on patient demographics and lipid profiles.

## Overview

## Description

You can use this MCP to bring clinical-grade cardiovascular risk assessment directly into your AI-driven workflows. Instead of manually calculating risk scores, you let your agent handle the ASCVD algorithm using patient data like cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and age. It doesn't just stop at a single percentage; it helps you look at the bigger picture by evaluating secondary risk factors that might push a patient into a higher risk category. You can quickly determine specific LDL targets to help guide lipid management conversations. It's built to act as a clinical reasoning partner, providing the necessary data points and treatment considerations you need to support medical decision-making. Whether you are looking for baseline risk or specific cholesterol goals, this MCP provides the specific outputs required for informed clinical discussion.

## Tools

### calculate_ascvd_risk
This tool calculates the primary 10-year cardiovascular risk percentage and assigns a risk category.

### evaluate_risk_enhancers
Use this to analyze secondary factors that might increase a patient's risk beyond the standard ASCVD score.

### generate_treatment_guidance
This tool provides high-level clinical considerations to assist in medical discussions.

### get_ldl_targets
This tool determines the specific recommended LDL cholesterol targets for a patient.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the ASCVD risk for a 55-year-old male with total cholesterol 200, HDL 50, LDL 120, triglycerides 150, and systolic blood pressure 130.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated 10-year ASCVD risk is 5.2%, which falls into the Borderline risk category.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the target LDL for a patient with a 15% ASCVD risk and diabetes?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a patient with a 15% risk and diabetes, the recommended target LDL is below 70 mg/dL.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Provide treatment guidance for a patient with 12% risk and a target LDL of 70.
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on a 12% risk, primary recommendations include lifestyle modifications and discussing statin therapy with a physician to reach the target LDL of 70 mg/dL.
```

## Capabilities

### ASCVD Risk Scoring
Your agent calculates the 10-year cardiovascular risk percentage using the ASCVD algorithm.

### LDL Target Determination
The MCP identifies specific cholesterol goals based on a patient's risk profile.

### Risk Enhancer Analysis
Your AI client evaluates secondary factors that elevate baseline risk scores.

### Clinical Guidance Generation
The tool produces high-level considerations for medical discussions.

## Use Cases

### Patient Risk Assessment
A clinician uses the MCP to find a patient's 10-year cardiovascular risk score during a checkup.

### Lipid Management Planning
An agent determines the appropriate LDL target for a patient with high cardiovascular risk.

### Clinical Decision Support
A user generates treatment guidance considerations for a patient with specific lipid profiles.

### Risk Factor Evaluation
A professional checks how family history or other enhancers change a baseline risk score.

## Benefits

- Automates ASCVD risk math for faster assessments.
- Provides specific LDL targets based on individual patient risk.
- Identifies secondary risk enhancers to prevent underestimating patient risk.
- Generates clinical considerations to support medical discussions.

## How It Works

Connecting this MCP to your AI client gives you immediate access to clinical risk tools.

1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Provide the patient's lipid profile and demographic data to your agent.
3. The agent invokes the necessary tools to calculate risk or targets.
4. Receive the calculated risk percentages and clinical guidance directly in your chat.
