Appendix MCP Server

Appendix turns any AI health conversation into a physician-reviewed opinion, with a prescription if you need one. Its 3 documented tools cluster into read & search, submit. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that want a hosted science & health endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in TypeScript.
