Available tools 6

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

ingredient
get_ingredient_info
Look up evidence-graded research context for a supplement ingredient from the curated registry (99 ingredients). Returns canonical name, aliases, health goals, mechanisms of action, evidence grade (Strong / Moderate / Preliminary), research notes, and recommended iHerb search terms.
search_by_ingredient
Find products that contain a specific ingredient or compound in their ingredients list (e.g. "ashwagandha", "CoQ10", "zinc bisglycinate"). Also returns evidence-graded research context from the ingredient registry when the ingredient is recognised — goals, mechanisms, evidence grade.
supplements
get_supplements_by_category
List top-rated in-stock products within a specific iHerb category. Use list_categories first to discover valid category slugs.
search_supplements
Search the iHerb product database using a natural-language query, benefit keyword, ingredient name, or brand name. Uses the PostgreSQL GIN full-text search index first (fast, relevance-ranked), then falls back to a broader ILIKE scan if FTS yields no results.
categories
list_categories
Return all available iHerb product categories with their URL slugs and live product counts. Use the slug value with get_supplements_by_category to browse products within a specific category.
supplement
get_supplement_detail
Retrieve complete details for a single iHerb product by its numeric product ID (visible in iHerb URLs, e.g. "72711" from https://www.iherb.com/pr/p/72711). Returns the full supplement facts panel (nutrients, amounts, % daily values), ingredients list, warnings, serving info, and the affiliate purchase link.

Among them: get_ingredient_info, get_supplement_detail, get_supplements_by_category, list_categories, search_by_ingredient, search_supplements. 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 iNutriPlan Supplement Database MCP Server mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around ingredient and supplements. 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 iNutriPlan Supplement Database MCP Server 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 130 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect iNutriPlan Supplement Database MCP Server?
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 iNutriPlan Supplement Database MCP Server need an API key?
No. iNutriPlan Supplement Database MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is iNutriPlan Supplement Database MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 130 ms on average, which is faster than 77% 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.
