Infusion Rate Calculator (mL/hr)

Calculate the infusion pump rate in mL/hr = Total volume / Infusion time. Time may be hours+minutes or minutes; also reports mL/min and the decimal duration. Verify pump units match the order, confirm line patency, and sum channels for restricted patients. Derived from Macklin 2011, NICE CK174 2017, Phillips 2007, and ISMP. Not medical advice.

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": "infusion-rate-ml-hr",
    "arguments": {
  "volume": 1000,
  "hours": 8,
  "minutes": 0,
  "decimalPlaces": 1
}
  }
}

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).
