## Description

This MCP gives your AI client the ability to perform clinical screenings for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Instead of manually calculating scores, you provide patient data like BMI, neck circumference, and STOP-BANG questionnaire responses, and your agent handles the rest. It uses validated medical logic to categorize risk levels and provides specific clinical recommendations based on those results. You can also ask your agent to adjust interpretations for gender-specific nuances or pull a detailed breakdown of which specific risk factors triggered a high score. It is built to act as a decision support tool, helping you move from raw patient data to actionable clinical insights without leaving your workspace.

## Tools

### get_clinical_guidelines
This tool returns standardized medical recommendations based on the calculated risk level.

### get_risk_factor_details
This tool provides a specific breakdown of which STOP-BANG criteria the patient met.

### calculate_osa_risk
This tool calculates the primary OSA risk score and patient category using provided inputs.

### evaluate_gender_specific_risk
This tool adjusts the risk interpretation to account for gender-specific clinical nuances.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the OSA risk for a 55-year-old male with a BMI of 32, neck circumference of 45cm, who snores loudly, feels tired, and has high blood pressure.
```

**Response:** 
```
The patient has a high risk score of 5, placing them in the High Risk category. Specific risk factors include snoring, tiredness, observed apnea, blood pressure, BMI, age, and neck circumference. Clinical recommendation: Urgent follow-up with a sleep specialist is required.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the clinical guidelines for a patient with an Intermediate OSA risk level?
```

**Response:** 
```
For an Intermediate risk level, the recommendation is to monitor symptoms closely and consider a formal sleep study if symptoms persist or worsen.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Provide descriptions for the risk factors: 'Snoring' and 'BMI'.
```

**Response:** 
```
Snoring refers to loud breathing sounds during sleep that may indicate airway obstruction. BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that serves as a risk indicator for OSA.
```

## Capabilities

### Risk Scoring
Your agent calculates OSA risk scores using the STOP-BANG method.

### Factor Analysis
Your agent identifies exactly which clinical criteria contributed to a patient's score.

### Gender-Specific Logic
Your agent adjusts risk interpretations based on gender-specific clinical data.

### Guideline Retrieval
Your agent pulls standardized medical recommendations for specific risk categories.

## Use Cases

### Initial Patient Screening
Input a new patient's BMI and snoring habits to determine if they need a sleep study.

### Risk Factor Review
Ask your agent to explain why a patient was flagged as high risk based on their specific metrics.

### Clinical Decision Support
Retrieve standardized recommendations immediately after a risk score is generated.

### Gender-Adjusted Assessment
Refine a general risk score to account for gender-specific clinical nuances.

## Benefits

- Automates STOP-BANG score calculations.
- Provides gender-nuanced risk interpretations.
- Links risk scores directly to clinical guidelines.
- Breaks down specific risk factors for better transparency.

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your AI client to start running clinical screenings.

1. Connect the MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius.
2. Provide patient data like BMI, neck circumference, and STOP-BANG responses to your agent.
3. The agent uses the MCP tools to calculate the risk score and category.
4. Your agent delivers the score, factor breakdown, and clinical guidelines.
