# Life Events Stress Calculator MCP for AI Agents MCP > Life Events Stress Calculator assesses cumulative psychological stress risks using the Holmes-Rahe Scale. It converts recent life changes into Life Change Units (LCUs) to help you quantify mental strain. Use it to identify high-risk periods and understand how specific events like job changes or family losses impact overall well-being. This tool provides a standardized way to turn qualitative life stories into quantitative data for health and HR. ## Overview - **Category:** analytics - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_hRNgkjiWSNtrgDyCWdBrT1hmq1zn50YQOPsWTCaq/mcp - **Tags:** stress, health, psychology, holmes-rahe, risk-assessment ## Description Life Events Stress Calculator assesses cumulative psychological stress risks using the Holmes-Rahe Scale. It takes the messy, often overwhelming changes people experience in their lives and converts them into a structured data point called Life Change Units (LCUs). Instead of trying to guess how much a move, a job change, or a family loss might be affecting someone's mental health, you can get a clear, quantifiable number. This Connector handles the weightings for you, allowing your agent to calculate a total stress load and identify specific risk levels based on established psychological models. It's a practical way to move from subjective feelings to objective data. You can see which events count toward your score and what the actual risk thresholds are, making it much easier to prioritize support. You'll find this useful in a Vinkius catalog when you need to ground mental health assessments or organizational wellness checks in a recognized framework. It gives you a consistent way to talk about stress, whether you're looking at personal well-being or corporate burnout. It provides a consistent baseline that ensures every assessment follows the same rules, which is vital for maintaining professional standards in wellness coaching or HR. ## Tools ### get_available_events See all supported life events and their specific weights. Filter by categories like Critical or Minor. ### calculate_stress_score Compute a total stress score and risk level based on a list of event IDs. This turns life stories into data. ### get_risk_thresholds Retrieve the specific score ranges that define low, moderate, and high risk. This ensures your assessments remain standardized. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What kind of life events can I track for stress? ``` **Response:** ``` You can track a wide range of life changes. Here are some examples: * **Family:** Bereavement, divorce, marriage * **Work:** Job loss, retirement, promotion * **Living:** Moving house, change of residence You can see the full list of events and their weights using the tool. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Calculate my stress if I lost my job and moved house. ``` **Response:** ``` Based on those two events, your total Life Change Unit (LCU) score is 150. This places you in the **Moderate Risk** category. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What are the different risk levels? ``` **Response:** ``` The risk categories for this tool are: * **Low Risk:** 0-149 LCU * **Moderate Risk:** 150-299 LCU * **High Risk:** 300+ LCU ``` ## Capabilities ### List supported life events See which life changes are included in the model and how much weight they carry. ### Filter events by category Sort through supported changes by impact levels like Critical, Moderate, or Minor. ### Calculate total stress scores Turn a list of specific life events into a single LCU score and a risk category. ### Identify risk levels Determine if a stress load falls into the Low, Moderate, or High Risk categories. ### Retrieve risk thresholds Get the exact scoring definitions used to categorize different levels of psychological stress. ## Use Cases ### Burnout Assessment An HR manager asks the agent to check the stress score for a team that just underwent a massive restructuring to identify who needs extra support. ### Client Intake A therapist wants to see a list of life events to help a new patient identify the biggest stressors of the last year during a first session. ### Personal Wellness A user asks their agent to calculate their stress score after moving cities and starting a new job simultaneously to see their current risk level. ### Corporate Wellness A wellness coach uses the tool to create a report on the impact of remote work transitions on employee stress levels across different departments. ## Benefits - Get standardized metrics by using `get_risk_thresholds` to ensure your risk assessments follow established psychological models. - Categorize life changes easily because `get_available_events` lets you filter by Critical, Moderate, and Minor impact. - Identify high-risk individuals faster by using `calculate_stress_score` to turn qualitative life stories into quantitative data. - Provide clearer wellness plans by showing clients exactly how much their LCU score contributes to their overall stress load. - Move away from subjective guesswork by using a recognized framework to validate mental health concerns in professional settings. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a standardized, data-driven stress score based on actual life events. 1. Ask your agent to list life events to see which ones are supported and what categories they fall into. 2. Provide a list of recent life events to the agent to run the calculation. 3. Get a final score and a risk category based on the Holmes-Rahe model. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What is the Life Events Stress Calculator MCP?** The Life Events Stress Calculator MCP uses the Holmes-Rahe Scale to turn life events into measurable stress scores. It helps you quantify how much cumulative stress someone is facing. **How does it use the Holmes-Rahe Scale?** It converts specific life events into Life Change Units (LCUs). This provides a standardized way to measure psychological strain instead of relying on subjective feelings. **Can I use this for HR burnout tracking?** Yes, it's great for HR teams to assess the impact of company changes on employees. You can calculate scores to see if a team is hitting high-risk stress levels. **Is this a clinical diagnosis?** No, this Connector provides a risk assessment based on a recognized psychological model. It's a tool to measure stress load, not a medical diagnosis. **How do I know what's considered high risk?** You can use the tool to see the specific score ranges for different risk levels. It identifies High Risk as any score of 300 or above. **Can I filter by types of stress?** Yes, you can filter life events by categories like Critical, Moderate, and Minor. This helps you focus on the most significant changes first. **How is the stress score calculated?** The tool assigns a specific weight (Life Change Units) to each life event. The total score is the sum of all weights from the events you provide via `calculate_stress_score`. **What does a high risk level mean?** A high risk level indicates that the cumulative stress from recent life changes is substantial enough to significantly increase the likelihood of physical or mental health strain. **Can I filter events by category?** Yes, you can use the `categoryFilter` parameter in the `get_available_events` tool to view only Critical, Moderate, or Minor events.
