# CURB-65 Calculator MCP MCP > CURB-65 Calculator is a clinical tool that helps you quickly assess the severity of Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP). You give it patient vitals like respiratory rate, blood pressure, and age, and it spits out a score. From there, you can get immediate recommendations on whether a patient needs hospital admission or can be treated at home. It's built for speed and accuracy in high-pressure clinical environments. ## Overview - **Category:** healthcare - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** pneumonia, curb65, clinical-score, vital-signs, medical-calculator ## Description The CURB-65 Calculator MCP lets you assess pneumonia severity. When a patient comes in with pneumonia, you need to know fast if they're going to get worse or if they can handle treatment at home. Manually tracking variables like urea levels, blood pressure, and respiratory rates while trying to manage a ward is a recipe for mistakes. This MCP takes that weight off your shoulders. You just feed in the raw data, and it handles the math and the logic. It gives you a clear score and a specific recommendation on the next steps, like whether to admit them or keep them as outpatients. It's like having a clinical decision support specialist available in your agent's sidebar. Because Vinkius hosts this MCP, you can plug it right into your existing workflow without worrying about extra setup. It's about getting the right treatment to the right person without the mental fatigue of manual calculation. You get clear answers on mortality risk and care settings so you can focus on the patient instead of the paperwork. Instead of pulling up separate reference sheets or trying to recall the exact urea threshold from memory, you get the answer directly in your chat. This means you can move through a high volume of patients without losing accuracy. It turns a complex clinical calculation into a simple data entry task that keeps your triage process consistent across the whole team. ## Tools ### calculate_curb65_score Calculates the total CURB-65 score using provided patient vitals. ### get_clinical_recommendation Provides advice on mortality risk and treatment settings based on a score. ### get_clinical_reference_guide Fetches the definitions and thresholds for the CURB-65 parameters. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Calculate the CURB-65 score for a patient who is 70 years old, has a respiratory rate of 32, urea level of 25 mg/dL, systolic blood pressure of 85 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure of 55 mmHg, and is experiencing confusion. ``` **Response:** ``` The calculated CURB-65 score is 5. The criteria met include Confusion, Urea/BUN, Respiratory Rate, Blood Pressure, and Age. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What is the clinical recommendation for a CURB-65 score of 1? ``` **Response:** ``` For a score of 1, the expected mortality risk is low, and the recommended treatment setting is outpatient care. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What does the 'Urea' parameter in CURB-65 represent? ``` **Response:** ``` The Urea/BUN parameter refers to the Blood Urea Nitrogen level. A point is assigned if the level is greater than 19 mg/dL. ``` ## Capabilities ### Compute pneumonia severity scores Input patient vitals to get a standardized CURB-65 score. ### Get treatment site recommendations Receive advice on whether to admit a patient or treat them as an outpatient. ### Access parameter definitions Pull the specific clinical thresholds for every scoring category. ### Check mortality risk levels See the expected risk based on the calculated score. ### Standardize clinical data entry Use uniform metrics to ensure consistent scoring across different shifts. ## Use Cases ### ER Triage A doctor has a patient with high respiratory rates and low blood pressure. They ask the agent to calculate the score to see if they need a bed. ### Ward Round A nurse checks the `get_clinical_reference_guide` to see what urea level qualifies for a point during a patient review. ### Outpatient Review A clinician uses `get_clinical_recommendation` to confirm that a score of 1 is safe for home treatment. ### Rapid Assessment A busy clinic uses the tool to quickly sort a group of pneumonia patients by mortality risk to prioritize care. ## Benefits - Stop doing mental math. Use `calculate_curb65_score` to get an instant severity rating instead of trying to remember the weights for each vital sign. - Get clear guidance. `get_clinical_recommendation` tells you exactly what the standard of care is for a specific score, reducing the risk of human error. - Stay consistent. Every clinician uses the same parameters by pulling the reference guide, which keeps your department's triage process uniform. - Speed up triage. You can move through a list of patients without manual data entry for each one by letting your agent handle the processing. - Improve patient safety. By using standardized scoring, you reduce the chance of missing a high-risk patient who needs immediate admission. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a clear, evidence-based treatment path for pneumonia patients in seconds. 1. Input the patient's age, respiratory rate, urea level, blood pressure, and confusion status into your agent. 2. The MCP processes these vitals against clinical criteria to calculate a total score. 3. You receive a specific recommendation on the recommended care setting and mortality risk. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What is the CURB-65 Calculator MCP?** It's a tool that calculates pneumonia severity scores and provides clinical recommendations based on patient vitals. **How do I use the CURB-65 Calculator MCP?** You provide the patient's age, respiratory rate, urea level, blood pressure, and confusion status to your agent. **Does the CURB-65 Calculator MCP give treatment advice?** It provides clinical recommendations on mortality risk and care settings based on the calculated score. **Can the CURB-65 Calculator MCP show me the scoring rules?** Yes, you can use `get_clinical_reference_guide` to see the specific parameters for each score point. **Is the CURB-65 Calculator MCP for kids?** No, this tool is designed for Community-Acquired Pneumonia in adults. **Does the CURB-65 Calculator work with Cursor and Windsurf?** Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client. You can connect it to Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, or VS Code to run calculations directly in your workspace. **Does the CURB-65 Calculator store my patient data?** No, it doesn't store any data. It takes the values you provide in the prompt, calculates the score, and sends the result back. It doesn't keep a history or log your inputs. **Can the CURB-65 Calculator handle different units for Urea/BUN?** It specifically uses mg/dL for the Blood Urea Nitrogen level. A point is assigned if the level is over 19 mg/dL, so make sure you provide the correct units to get an accurate result.
