Details
From the project READMELowtoxgear — MCP server suite
Two MCP servers for the Lowtoxgear ecosystem. Both live, no-auth, no API key needed — paste a URL into Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors, or call directly via JSON-RPC 2.0 POST.
| Server | Connect URL | Tools |
|---|---|---|
| Lowtoxgear Storefront | https://mcp.lowtoxgear.com/mcp | search_products, get_product, list_collections, filter_by_certification, get_policies |
| Lowtoxgear Scanner | https://mcp-scan.lowtoxgear.com/mcp | scan_barcode, get_catalog_stats, get_magnet_samples, submit_missing_product, get_resources |
Both registered under the com.lowtoxgear/* namespace (DNS-verified via lowtoxgear.com) in the Anthropic MCP Registry.
What they do
Lowtoxgear Storefront — shop the catalogue
The Lowtoxgear brand is an Australian low-tox lifestyle e-commerce store spanning four collections:
- Certified Activewear — clothing built without PFAS, fluorocarbons, or synthetic finishes
- Clean Supplements — Australian-sourced supplement products with third-party testing
- GOTS Certified — Global Organic Textile Standard apparel
- Low-Tox Home Products — household items audited for clean ingredients
The storefront MCP exposes the Shopify public catalogue with one brand-specific extension: filter_by_certification lets agents query by tags like GOTS, OEKO-TEX, PFAS-free, etc.
Lowtoxgear Scanner — analyse anything by barcode
The Scanner is an independent Australian ingredient scanner for any consumer product. Live at scan.lowtoxgear.com:
- 21,000+ Australian product pages indexed by barcode (EAN/UPC/JAN)
- 237 source-cited chemical rules — fragrance allergens, EU-banned additives, EDCs, phthalates, PFAS, formaldehyde releasers, parabens, preservatives, and more
- 17 condition-specific flag escalations — MCAS, eczema, PCOS, fertility, pregnancy, fibromyalgia, POTS, IBS, Hashimoto's, fragrance sensitivity, autism, ADHD, asthma, autoimmune, endometriosis, lyme, chronic fatigue
- Six magnet guides of strict-clean shortlists by condition (eczema-safe personal care, mineral-only sunscreens, pregnancy-safe beauty, clean shampoos, etc.)
- No sponsored placement — independent, source-cited
The Scanner MCP is a thin wrapper around the existing scanner backend — it exposes the same data via the MCP JSON-RPC protocol so agents can query it programmatically.

Test from a terminal
# Scan a barcode
curl -sS https://mcp-scan.lowtoxgear.com/mcp \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":"scan_barcode","arguments":{"barcode":"9300605000018"}}}'
# Search the storefront
curl -sS https://mcp.lowtoxgear.com/mcp \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call",
"params":{"name":"search_products","arguments":{"query":"GOTS organic"}}}'
Cross-discovery
Both servers reference each other in their initialize and get_* responses:
- The Storefront's
get_policiesreturns a pointer to the Scanner (for chemical-safety analysis of items found in the catalogue). - The Scanner's
get_resourcesreturns a pointer to the Storefront (for shopping the cleanest-in-class).
This lets agents chain queries naturally: scan a barcode → if flagged, query the storefront for a cleaner alternative.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
