Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Sahara every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 2

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

explain

explain_health_term

Plain-language explanation of a medical condition, medicine, lab test or procedure, from MedlinePlus (US National Library of Medicine), in English or Spanish. Useful for family caregivers trying to understand an aging parent's diagnosis, prescriptions or test results. Educational only, never a diagnosis or treatment advice. Pass only the term itself, never names or other personal details.

mychart

find_mychart_for_sahara

Checks whether a hospital or health system offers Epic MyChart that Sahara can connect to, and returns the link to connect. Sahara gives adult children caring for an aging parent a plain-language summary of the parent's MyChart record (with the parent's proxy access). The record is shown only on sahara.synodha.com, never in this chat.

Sahara — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sahara do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: explain_health_term, find_mychart_for_sahara. 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 Sahara working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 89 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 417 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Sahara?

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 Sahara need an API key?

No. Sahara completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Sahara?

It answers our handshake in 417 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
