Half-Life Calculator

Exponential decay for radioactive isotopes and drugs: remaining amount, derived half-life, time to target, or steady-state accumulation. Uses N(t) = N0·e^(-λt).

json· JSON resultOpen tool

Quick start

Call this tool from your code in three languages.

cURL
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/half-life-calculator' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"mode":"remaining","halfLife":5730,"n0":100,"nt":0,"time":11460,"percentRemaining":0,"timeUnit":"years","singleDose":0,"dosingInterval":0,"decimalPlaces":4}'

API reference

Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.

Endpoint

HTTP
POST https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/half-life-calculator

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
modeselectNo—
halfLifenumberNoHalf-life in the selected time unit. Required for remaining/time/dose modes.
n0numberNoInitial quantity (mass, activity, count, dose…). Required for remaining/half-life modes.
ntnumberNoMeasured remaining quantity. Required for half-life/time modes.
timenumberNo

MCP integration

Add this tool to your Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can list and call it.

Server configuration

Add this block to your MCP client configuration:

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "elysiatools-half-life-calculator": {
      "name": "half-life-calculator",
      "description": "Exponential decay for radioactive isotopes and drugs: remaining amount, derived half-life, time to target, or steady-state accumulation. Uses N(t) = N0·e^(-λt).",
      "baseUrl": "https://api.elysiatools.com/mcp/sse?toolId=half-life-calculator",
      "command": "",
      "args": [],
      "env": {},
      "isActive": true,
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

List available tools

After connecting to the SSE endpoint, list the exposed tools:

tools/list
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/list"
}

Call this tool

Invoke the tool by its id, passing arguments built from its parameters:

tools/call
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 2,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "half-life-calculator",
    "arguments": {
  "mode": "remaining",
  "halfLife": 5730,
  "n0": 100,
  "nt": 0,
  "time": 11460,
  "percentRemaining": 0,
  "timeUnit": "years",
  "singleDose": 0,
  "dosingInterval": 0,
  "decimalPlaces": 4
}
  }
}
Chain multiple tools in one session with a comma-separated toolId list, e.g. /mcp/sse?toolId=png-to-webp,jpg-to-webp,gif-to-webp (max 20).
