Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
MCP PhenoAge Clock ServerCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install via npx, npm, or from source. Configure it in Claude Desktop by adding the server to the MCP configuration JSON. Use the calculate_phenoage tool with the required biomarkers, or the get_biomarker_ranges tool for reference values.
calculate_phenoage
Calculate biological age using the Morgan Levine PhenoAge clock based on blood biomarkers
get_biomarker_ranges
Get reference ranges and optimal values for PhenoAge biomarkers

MCP PhenoAge Clock Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that calculates biological age using the Morgan Levine PhenoAge clock based on blood biomarkers.
Overview
The PhenoAge clock is a biological aging measure developed by Dr. Morgan Levine and colleagues. It uses 9 blood biomarkers plus chronological age to estimate "phenotypic age" - a measure that captures morbidity and mortality risk better than chronological age alone.
Based on: Levine et al. (2018) "An epigenetic biomarker of aging for lifespan and healthspan" Aging (Albany NY). 2018;10(4):573-591
Installation
Via NPX (Recommended)
npx mcp-phenoage-clock
Via NPM
npm install -g mcp-phenoage-clock
mcp-phenoage-clock
From Source
git clone https://github.com/199-biotechnologies/mcp-phenoage-clock.git
cd mcp-phenoage-clock
npm install
npm run build
npm start
Usage with Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"phenoage-clock": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-phenoage-clock"]
}
}
}
Available Tools
calculate_phenoage
Calculates your biological age using the PhenoAge formula.
Required biomarkers:
- age: Chronological age (years)
- albumin: Albumin (g/dL)
- creatinine: Creatinine (mg/dL)
- glucose: Glucose (mg/dL) - must be fasting
- crp: C-reactive protein (mg/L)
- lymphocytePercent: Lymphocyte percentage (%)
- meanCellVolume: Mean cell volume/MCV (fL)
- redCellDistWidth: Red cell distribution width/RDW (%)
- alkalinePhosphatase: Alkaline phosphatase (U/L)
- whiteBloodCellCount: White blood cell count (1000 cells/μL)
Returns:
- PhenoAge (biological age)
- Age difference (PhenoAge - chronological age)
- Mortality score
- Interpretation
get_biomarker_ranges
Returns reference ranges and optimal values for all biomarkers.
Example Usage in Claude
User: Calculate my PhenoAge with these values:
- Age: 45
- Albumin: 4.2 g/dL
- Creatinine: 0.9 mg/dL
- Glucose: 85 mg/dL
- CRP: 0.5 mg/L
- Lymphocyte %: 30
- MCV: 89 fL
- RDW: 12.5%
- Alkaline phosphatase: 65 U/L
- WBC: 6.2
Claude will use the calculate_phenoage tool and return your biological age.
Understanding Your Results
- PhenoAge < Chronological Age: Your biological age is younger than your actual age, suggesting good health
- PhenoAge ≈ Chronological Age: Normal aging pattern
- PhenoAge > Chronological Age: Your biological age is older than your actual age, suggesting accelerated aging
Important Notes
1. Fasting Glucose: The glucose measurement must be taken after fasting
2. Units Matter: Ensure your lab results match the required units
3. Medical Advice: This tool is for informational purposes only. Always consult healthcare providers for medical decisions
4. Lab Variations: Different labs may use different reference ranges
5. Formula Limitations: In rare cases with certain biomarker combinations, the mortality score may reach mathematical limits, resulting in clamped calculations. This is a limitation of the formula, not necessarily indicative of health status
Formula Details
The PhenoAge calculation uses the following formula:
xb = -19.907 - 0.0336×albumin + 0.0095×creatinine + 0.1953×glucose
+ 0.0954×ln(CRP) - 0.0120×lymphocyte% + 0.0268×MCV
+ 0.3306×RDW + 0.00188×alkaline_phosphatase + 0.0554×WBC + 0.0804×age
mortality_score = 1 - exp(-exp(xb) × (exp(120×γ) - 1) / γ)
where γ = 0.0076927
PhenoAge = 141.50225 + ln(-0.00553 × ln(1 - mortality_score)) / 0.090165
