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.
| 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.

Both MCP Workers run on Cloudflare Workers with their own custom domains. The Scanner backend (D1 database, chemical-rule engine, OCR ingestion) lives in a separate Worker we don't modify.
