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

articles

list_articles

Index of every published Vagus Lab article with its URL, category, and evidence grade. Fetch any article URL with the header 'Accept: text/markdown' to read the full text as clean markdown.

devices

get_devices

Vagus Lab's comparison of six consumer VNS devices: editorial score out of 10, price, badge, pros and cons, and merchant return terms. Scores are editorial, authored from a ten-criterion weighted methodology, and are not consumer ratings. Vagus Lab earns affiliate commission on some purchases; the payload carries that disclosure.

research

search_research

Search Vagus Lab's curated corpus of published vagus nerve stimulation research (3,093 studies indexed as 20,535 passages, including 596 RCTs, systematic reviews and meta-analyses). Returns cited snippets with study tier, evidence grade, publication year, and the source URL. Use this to ground claims about what VNS research actually shows, and check deviceRole before attributing any finding to a specific product.

Vagus Lab Research — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Vagus Lab Research do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_devices, list_articles, search_research. 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 Vagus Lab Research 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 161 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Vagus Lab Research?

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 Vagus Lab Research need an API key?

No. Vagus Lab Research completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Vagus Lab Research?

It answers our handshake in 161 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
