# SOFA Score Calculator MCP MCP > SOFA Score Calculator helps clinicians quickly assess organ dysfunction and patient risk. It takes raw physiological data—like blood pressure, creatinine levels, and oxygenation—and turns them into standardized scores. This MCP automates the math for respiratory, coagulation, hepatic, cardiovascular, neurological, and renal systems, allowing you to identify sepsis and mortality risk tiers in seconds rather than manually crunching numbers. ## Overview - **Category:** healthcare - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** sofa, sepsis, mortality-risk, intensive-care, clinical-scoring ## Description The SOFA Score Calculator is a clinical decision support tool designed to quantify organ dysfunction in patients. Right now, figuring out a patient's risk in an ICU involves hunting down a dozen different labs and vitals, then doing the mental math to see how each organ is holding up. It's slow, and it's easy to make a mistake when you're tired. This MCP changes that by letting your AI client handle the heavy lifting of clinical scoring. You just feed in the raw numbers, and the agent does the work of categorizing the dysfunction and calculating the final severity. It's built for high-pressure environments where you need to know the sepsis status or the mortality risk right now, not ten minutes from now. Instead of jumping between tabs to find the right formulas, you get a clear picture of the patient's status immediately. Because Vinkius hosts this in a centralized catalog, you can plug it into your existing workflow and get these clinical insights without having to build a custom calculator from scratch. It keeps the focus where it belongs: on the patient, not on the arithmetic. ## Tools ### calculate_total_sofa Aggregates individual organ scores into a single SOFA score and severity level. ### compute_organ_scores Converts clinical values into standardized 0-4 SOFA organ scores. ### estimate_mortality_risk Provides mortality risk classification based on the total SOFA score. ### evaluate_sepsis_status Determines if a patient meets Sepsis-3 criteria. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Calculate the SOFA organ scores for a patient with PaO2 80, FiO2 0.4, platelets 150, bilirubin 1.2, MAP 70, no vasopressors, GCS 15, creatinine 1.0, and urine output 1.5. ``` **Response:** ``` The calculated organ scores are: Respiratory: 1, Coagulation: 0, Hepatic: 0, Cardiovascular: 0, Neurological: 0, Renal: 0. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What is the mortality risk for a total SOFA score of 15? ``` **Response:** ``` A total SOFA score of 15 falls into the High Risk tier, with an estimated mortality probability in the severe range. ``` **Prompt:** ``` A patient's baseline SOFA score was 4, and their current score is 7. Do they meet sepsis criteria? ``` **Response:** ``` Yes, the patient meets Sepsis-3 criteria because there is an increase of 3 points from their baseline score. ``` ## Capabilities ### Convert lab results into organ scores Turn raw clinical measurements like creatinine or PaO2 into standardized 0-4 scores. ### Sum scores into a total SOFA value Aggregate individual organ scores into a single total score and severity level. ### Identify sepsis status Detect if a patient meets Sepsis-3 criteria based on acute score changes. ### Classify mortality risk Provide mortality risk tiers based on the patient's total SOFA score. ### Standardize organ assessments Apply consistent scoring logic across respiratory, renal, hepatic, and other systems. ## Use Cases ### Quickly checking renal shift A nurse notices a patient's creatinine is rising. They ask the agent to check the renal score and total SOFA. The agent uses `compute_organ_scores` and `calculate_total_sofa` to show a jump in severity. ### Confirming Sepsis-3 criteria A doctor needs to know if a patient is septic. They provide the baseline and current scores, and the agent uses `evaluate_sepsis_status` to confirm if they meet Sepsis-3 criteria. ### Standardizing research data A researcher is looking at 50 patients. They ask the agent to calculate mortality risk for all of them. The agent runs `estimate_mortality_risk` on the total scores to create a risk map. ### Rapid triage ranking A triage team is overwhelmed. They feed in a batch of vitals, and the agent uses `compute_organ_scores` to quickly rank which patients need immediate intervention. ## Benefits - Stop manual math errors. Using `compute_organ_scores` ensures that every respiratory, renal, and hepatic value is mapped to the correct 0-4 scale every single time. - Speed up triage. You can get a severity level instantly with `calculate_total_sofa` instead of manually summing up six different categories. - Identify sepsis faster. `evaluate_sepsis_status` automates the detection of acute score changes, helping you catch Sepsis-3 criteria earlier. - Quantify risk objectively. `estimate_mortality_risk` gives you a clear mortality tier, which helps in making hard decisions about resource allocation. - Standardize your data. This MCP ensures that every clinician in your unit is using the exact same scoring logic for organ dysfunction. ## How It Works The bottom line is that you get instant, standardized risk assessment from raw clinical data. 1. Provide raw vitals and lab values to your AI client. 2. The MCP processes the data through specific organ scoring logic. 3. You get back a total score, severity level, and risk classification. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What does the SOFA Score Calculator do?** It converts raw clinical measurements into standardized scores for organ dysfunction and mortality risk. **How does the SOFA Score Calculator identify sepsis?** It uses `evaluate_sepsis_status` to see if there's an acute change of 2 or more points from a patient's baseline score. **Can the SOFA Score Calculator give me a mortality risk?** Yes, it uses `estimate_mortality_risk` to provide risk tiers based on the total score. **Does the SOFA Score Calculator handle renal scores?** Yes, it uses `compute_organ_scores` to turn creatinine and urine output into a standardized score. **Is the SOFA Score Calculator used for ICU patients?** Yes, it's specifically designed to quantify organ dysfunction in critical care settings. **What clinical values does the SOFA Score Calculator use for organ scores?** It uses measurements like PaO2, FiO2, platelets, bilirubin, MAP, and creatinine. The compute_organ_scores tool processes these to calculate scores for the respiratory, coagulation, hepatic, cardiovascular, neurological, and renal systems. **Can I use the SOFA Score Calculator with Cursor or Claude?** Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client. You can connect it to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code through Vinkius to use the calculation tools directly in your workspace. **Does the SOFA Score Calculator save the patient data I enter?** No, it doesn't store your data. The MCP processes the clinical values you provide in real time to generate scores and risk assessments without saving any history or logging your inputs.
