Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check laboratory.love every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
crowdfund
get_crowdfund_status
Get live funding status for one crowdfunding product id: goal, funded, remaining, allowed contribution range, and the result link once tested. Read-only.
search_crowdfund
List products the public can fund toward laboratory testing, with goal, amount funded, amount remaining, and status. Defaults to products currently accepting contributions. Read-only.
testing
create_testing_checkout
Write (treat as a sensitive, purchase-starting action; confirm the tier, price, and product links with the person first). Saves a pending testing order and creates a secure Stripe-hosted checkout link for it. Nothing is charged by this call: the person must open checkout_url and pay. Use get_checkout_status to see whether they paid.
list_testing_tiers
List the direct testing packages a person can buy to have Laboratory.love test products they choose: price, number of products, samples, panels, turnaround, and refund terms. Read-only.
analytes
list_analytes
List the chemicals Laboratory.love reports (abbreviations such as DEHP, DBP, BPA, BPS), their categories, lab panels, and how each feeds the exposure ratings. Use it to explain abbreviations or to pick an analyte filter. Read-only.
checkout
get_checkout_status
Check whether a checkout created by this connector is awaiting payment, paid, processing, or expired. Report "paid" only when this returns paid. Read-only.
contribution
create_contribution_checkout
Write (treat as a sensitive, purchase-starting action; confirm the product and amount with the person first). Creates a secure Stripe-hosted checkout link for a contribution toward testing one crowdfunding product. Nothing is charged by this call: the person must open checkout_url and pay. Returns the amount, currency, seller, refund terms, and expiry. Use get_checkout_status to see whether they paid.
result
get_result
Get the full public record for one result id from search_results: provenance, every sample with its lot and analyses, every analyte measurement with its status, LOQ where known, and Laboratory.love’s per-serving exposure ratings with their assumptions. When answering: name the source (commissioned vs PlasticList-derived), keep detected / below_limit_of_quantitation / not_detected / not_tested distinct, give sample counts, and do not call a product safe because values are low or not detected. Read-only.
results
search_results
Search Laboratory.love’s published product-test records. Use this before answering whether a product, brand, or category has been tested. Records are either Laboratory.love-commissioned tests or clearly labeled PlasticList-derived historical records; report which. Results describe the samples tested, not every unit of a product. Covers chemicals that come from plastics (phthalates, BPA and other bisphenols, and phthalate substitutes), the usual meaning of "plastic chemicals" in food; it does not measure microplastic particles, so say so if someone asks about microplastics. Read-only.

laboratory.love — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can laboratory.love do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: create_contribution_checkout, create_testing_checkout, get_checkout_status, get_crowdfund_status, get_result, list_analytes and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is laboratory.love mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around crowdfund and testing. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is laboratory.love working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 1118 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect laboratory.love?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does laboratory.love need an API key?
No. laboratory.love completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is laboratory.love?
It answers our handshake in 1118 ms on average, which is faster than 3% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
