The NIHSS Calculator is a clinical decision support tool that allows healthcare professionals to quantify neurological impairment following an acute stroke. By using the calculate_nihss tool, users can input individual scores for eleven neurological components--including consciousness level, gaze, facial palsy, and motor function--to receive an immediate total score and severity classification. Additionally, the get_scoring_guide tool provides detailed scoring ranges for each component, while evaluate_urgency offers standardized clinical instructions based on the patient's neurological state. This MCP server acts as a bridge between clinical assessment data and AI agents in clients like Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop, and Windsurf.
