Catalyst evidence graph — MCP server, plugins and extensions

Catalyst is a curated evidence graph of what compounds, supplements, nutrients and foods have been shown to do in the human body. This repository connects it to the assistants and editors people already use. The server itself is hosted; everything here only tells a client where it is.

Server: https://catalystproject.ai/mcp — MCP over Streamable HTTP, read-only, no account, no key. Registry name: ai.catalystproject/evidence-graph Setup for every client, the tool list and limits: https://catalystproject.ai/connect

What an assistant gets

  • Findings for a compound or an outcome. Every finding carries an evidence_strength — strong, moderate, limited, very_limited or insufficient — computed from the study behind it, never set by hand, plus the verbatim sentence it was drawn from, the paper, the population and dose, and a permalink to check it.
  • Relations from reference databases (targets, pathways, reactions), each labelled as a hypothesis rather than a reported result.

Evidence strength describes how well the evidence supports a finding. It is not a recommendation, and nothing here is medical advice. No tool returns a product, a price or a link to buy anything, and no tool ranks what to take.

Changed in 0.2.0 (ADR-0103): tool results report evidence_strength as a named level and never a letter, and get_findings takes an evidence_strength floor. The grade field and the grade argument are gone; a call that still sends grade gets an error naming the replacement.

Privacy

The server stores no queries and has no accounts. Rate limits count calls per minute against the client's name and a keyed hash of the network address, never the address itself. Full notice: https://catalystproject.ai/privacy.
