What the publisher says
From the Lowtoxgear Scanner repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Lowtoxgear — 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.
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: filterbycertification 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.
