# Restless Legs Severity Scorer AI Agent Connect

> Restless Legs Severity Scorer MCP provides clinical tools to measure Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) severity. It follows the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG) methodology to evaluate symptom intensity, frequency, and sleep disruption. Your AI client uses this to categorize severity, recommend iron testing, and suggest management themes.

## Description

You can use this MCP to bring standardized RLS assessment directly into your AI-driven clinical workflows. Instead of manually calculating scores, you let your agent handle the math and the logic based on the IRLSSG scale. It handles the heavy lifting of checking symptom intensity and frequency against clinical bounds to ensure your data stays within valid ranges. You can quickly determine if a patient falls into a specific severity category or if their symptoms warrant immediate ferritin testing. It also provides high-level management themes to help guide clinical discussions. This is a specialized tool for turning raw patient symptom reports into actionable clinical data points.

## Tools

### calculate_rls_score
This tool calculates the primary clinical severity score and assigns a diagnostic category based on patient data.

### get_ferritin_recommendation
This tool determines if a patient needs blood testing for iron levels based on their clinical profile.

### get_treatment_considerations
This tool provides high-level clinical themes to help guide management strategies.

### validate_irlssg_inputs
This tool checks that all questionnaire data stays within valid clinical bounds.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the RLS severity for a patient with an intensity of 3, frequency of 2, and sleep impact of 3.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated total score is 8, which falls into the Moderate severity category.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Should a patient with a severity score of 9 and daily symptoms undergo ferritin testing?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, ferritin testing is recommended with immediate urgency due to the high severity score and daily symptom presence.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the treatment considerations for a patient in the Severe category?
```

**Response:** 
```
For the Severe category, clinical themes include pharmacological evaluation and intensive monitoring.
```

## Capabilities

### Severity Categorization
Your agent uses this to turn raw symptom numbers into specific diagnostic categories.

### Iron Deficiency Screening
The AI uses this to flag when a patient likely needs a ferritin test.

### Data Validation
Your agent runs this to ensure symptom inputs match IRLSSG clinical standards.

### Management Guidance
The AI uses this to pull relevant clinical themes for specific severity levels.

## Use Cases

### Rapid Patient Assessment
A clinician enters symptom intensity and frequency to get an immediate severity category.

### Iron Deficiency Flagging
The AI identifies high-risk patients who require ferritin testing based on their RLS profile.

### Clinical Decision Support
A provider uses the tool to pull management themes for patients in the Severe category.

### Data Integrity Checks
Researchers use the validation tool to confirm symptom data falls within valid clinical ranges.

## Benefits

- Standardizes RLS scoring using the IRLSSG methodology.
- Automates the identification of patients needing iron testing.
- Reduces manual calculation errors in severity scoring.
- Provides consistent clinical management themes.
