About oak-longevity-mcp-server
oak-longevity-mcp-server makes longevity and metabolic medicine references available to MCP clients for clinical workflows. It covers medication catalogs, dosing, labs, monitoring, contraindications, and interactions, with free catalog tools and entitlement-gated premium decision-support tools. Outputs require review by a licensed clinician and are not medical advice.

MCP support
The server exposes medication data, regulatory references, and clinical decision-support tools to MCP clients over stdio and stateless Streamable HTTP. Premium tools require valid entitlement; outputs are decision support, not medical advice.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y oak-longevity-mcp-serverLONGEVITY_LICENSE_KEYSecretOak Longevity PREMIUM license key. Optional — the free tier works without it.Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEoak-longevity-mcp-server
An MCP server for longevity & metabolic medicine — a medication catalog, evidence-based dosing protocols, contraindication screening, drug-interaction checks, required baseline labs, ongoing monitoring plans, FDA/compounding regulatory status, and patient-intake pathway suggestions across 35 compounds.
Built for Oak Longevity Institute by Keith Schmidt, MD — a telemedicine longevity practice in Illinois. This server makes the practice's clinical reference data available to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or your own agent), and is structured for a free/premium monetization model.
⚠️ Clinical decision-support, not medical advice. All output must be reviewed by a licensed clinician. Many longevity compounds here are used off-label, are compounded, or are investigational/not FDA-approved. Dosing, contraindication, interaction, lab, and regulatory data change frequently — always verify against current primary literature, FDA/DEA resources, and your state board of pharmacy.
What it does
| Tool | Tier | Description |
|---|---|---|
get_medication_list | Free | Full medication catalog grouped by category, with ids, drug class, and DEA/Rx schedule. |
get_medication_details | Free | Mechanism, formulations, who it's for / not for, and schedule for one medication. |
get_fda_status | Free | FDA approval status, DEA schedule, 503A/503B compounding considerations, approved uses, off-label notes. |
get_dosing_protocol | Premium | Evidence-based dosing: route, start, titration, maintenance, max, evidence grade, pearls — by indication. |
get_required_labs | Premium | Recommended baseline labs/assessments before prescribing, grouped by panel with rationale. |
get_monitoring_plan | Premium | Ongoing monitoring schedule — what to check, interval, and action/threshold. |
check_contraindications | Premium | Screens a medication against a patient profile (age, sex, conditions, meds) → PASS / FLAG / REJECT with the triggering findings. |
check_drug_interactions | Premium | Pairwise interaction warnings across a medication list, ranked by severity, with mechanism + management. |
screen_patient_intake | Premium | Maps a patient's symptoms/goals to suggested treatment pathways with first-line + adjunct medications and workup. |
The eight categories: Weight Management, Peptide Therapy, Hormone Optimization, Longevity & Metabolic, Sexual Health, Immune & Inflammation, Hair Restoration, Dermatology.
Every tool accepts a medication as a name, id, or brand/alias (e.g. "Tirzepatide", "tirzepatide", "Mounjaro", or "copper peptide" → GHK-Cu). Unrecognized queries return "did you mean" suggestions.

Install & build
git clone <repo> longevity-mcp-server
cd longevity-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build # compile TypeScript → dist/ and copy data
npm run smoke # end-to-end test (optional)
The clinical data ships as JSON in src/data/ and is copied into dist/data/ at build.
Use with Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"oak-longevity": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/longevity-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
"env": { "LONGEVITY_LICENSE_KEY": "OAK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX" }
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. You can then ask things like:
- "List the peptide therapy options."
- "What's the dosing protocol for tirzepatide for weight loss?"
- "Can I prescribe tadalafil to a 60-year-old man taking nitroglycerin?"
- "Check interactions between rapamycin, simvastatin, and clarithromycin."
- "What baseline labs do I need before starting testosterone?"
- "A patient reports fatigue, low libido, and wants to lose weight — what pathways fit?"
See examples/claude_desktop_config.json for an npx variant.
Use with Claude Code
claude mcp add oak-longevity -- node /absolute/path/to/longevity-mcp-server/dist/index.js
Inspect locally
npm run inspect # opens the MCP Inspector against the stdio server
Remote hosting (HTTP / SSE)
The same tools are served over Streamable HTTP for remote deployment (MCPize, a VPS, or serverless):
npm run build
PORT=3000 node dist/http.js
# → POST http://localhost:3000/mcp (GET /health for a liveness check)
The HTTP transport is stateless and multi-tenant: the per-customer license key is read from a request header, so a single deployment can serve many customers.
X-Oak-License: OAK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (preferred)
Authorization: Bearer OAK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX (also accepted)
Monetization & licensing
The server has a built-in free / premium split designed to be wired to a billing provider (Stripe, MCPize) with minimal change.
- Free tier:
get_medication_list,get_medication_details,get_fda_status— the catalog and regulatory reference. - Premium tier: the clinical decision-support engine — dosing protocols, baseline labs, monitoring plans, contraindication screening, drug-interaction checks, and intake pathway suggestions.
Premium tools remain discoverable (they appear in tools/list so clients can advertise the upgrade), but calling one without a valid entitlement returns an upgrade prompt instead of data.
Entitlement resolution
Configured via environment variables (stdio) or request headers (HTTP):
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
LONGEVITY_LICENSE_KEY | The customer's license key. |
LONGEVITY_TIER | Force premium or free (self-hosted / enterprise override). |
LONGEVITY_VALID_KEYS | Comma-separated allowlist of keys treated as valid premium (manual provisioning / testing). |
LONGEVITY_LICENSE_VERIFY_URL | Optional HTTP endpoint for remote key verification. When set, keys are validated against this service instead of locally. |
A locally-issued key matches the format OAK-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. For production, point LONGEVITY_LICENSE_VERIFY_URL at your billing webhook; it should accept { "key": "..." } and return { "valid": true, "tier": "premium", "expiresAt": "..." }.
The verification layer lives entirely in src/licensing.ts behind a LicenseProvider interface — swap the implementation without touching any tool.

Data model
The clinical data is hand-curated from standard pharmacology references and longevity-medicine practice (Endocrine Society / Menopause Society / ISSWSH guidance, FDA labeling and shortage/bulk-substance lists, and the peer-reviewed literature for off-label and investigational compounds). Each dataset is keyed by medication id:
- medications.json — class, mechanism, formulations, candidate profile, schedule.
- dosing.json — per-indication route / start / titration / maintenance / max / evidence grade.
- contraindications.json — boxed warnings, absolute & relative contraindications (with machine-matchable condition keywords), cautions, pregnancy.
- interactions.json — per-drug interaction rules (severity, effect, management).
- labs.json — baseline panels and ongoing monitoring schedule.
- fda.json — approval status, schedule, 503A/503B compounding considerations, approved uses, references.
- pathways.json — 15 intake pathways mapping symptoms/goals → first-line + adjunct medications.
Because regulatory status (especially FDA drug-shortage listings and 503A bulk-substance eligibility for peptides) shifts frequently, treat
get_fda_statusoutput as a starting point and confirm against the current FDA database before compounding.

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.
