Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

catalog
get_catalog_stats
Return the size of the indexed Australian product catalogue — total, food, beauty, and total scans performed. Useful to set user expectations on coverage.
magnet
get_magnet_samples
List the six condition-specific magnet guides with sample product images. Each guide is a strict-clean shortlist (eczema-safe personal care, clean shampoos AU, mineral-only sunscreens AU, pregnancy-safe beauty, fragrance-free essentials, snacks without artificial dyes).
resources
get_resources
URL templates for chained queries — product page, per-product alternatives, category alternatives, magnet guides, OG images, and full LLM-ready documentation. Use to give the user/agent canonical links they can fetch or render directly.
scan
scan_barcode
Look up an Australian product by barcode (EAN/UPC/JAN, 6–14 digits) and get full chemical-safety analysis. Returns the product info (if found) plus an array of flagged ingredients with severity (red/amber), the matching chemical rule, source citation, and condition-specific notes. Optional `conditions` array escalates flags for users with chronic conditions: mcas, eczema, pcos, fertility, pregnancy, fibromyalgia, pots, ibs, hashimotos, fragrance, autism, adhd, asthma, autoimmune, endometriosis, lyme, chronic-fatigue.
submit
submit_missing_product
Request that a product be added to the Low Tox Scanner index. Useful when scan_barcode returns product_found: false. Submission goes to a moderation queue.

Lowtoxgear Scanner — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Lowtoxgear Scanner do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_catalog_stats, get_magnet_samples, get_resources, scan_barcode, submit_missing_product. 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 →
Is Lowtoxgear Scanner working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 86 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Lowtoxgear Scanner?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Lowtoxgear Scanner need an API key?
No. Lowtoxgear Scanner completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Lowtoxgear Scanner?
It answers our handshake in 86 ms on average, which is faster than 88% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Lowtoxgear Scanner open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
