Ask MCP server

Ask is an MCP server with 11 tools an agent can call, among them browse, compare, fetch. It answers at https://ask-mcp.pinnacleblooms.org/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 12 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.

Non-diagnostic child-development knowledge by Pinnacle Blooms: search, milestones, ICF crosswalk.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 11 tools Ask offers

ToolWhat it does
browseList the available values for one taxonomy kind across the corpus: persona, route, domain, condition, or age-band. Use this to discover what can be passed to `topic`.
Inputs: kind
compareCompare two developmental topics, conditions, or skills side by side (e.g. 'speech delay' vs 'autism'; 'speech therapy' vs 'occupational therapy'). Returns corpus-grounded points of similarity and difference. Non-diagnostic.
Inputs: a, b, limit
fetchFetch the full published answer for a Pinnacle Ask result. `id` accepts a slug from `search`, an /ask path, or a full pinnacleblooms.org/ask URL. Returns the complete answer document (markdown), Everyday Therapy™ tip, what-to-watch guidance
Inputs: id
homeOverview of the Pinnacle Ask knowledge layer: featured content, corpus statistics, and entry points. Takes no arguments. Good first call to orient before searching.
lookup_codeLook up Pinnacle Ask content by clinical/standards code — WHO ICF (e.g. 'b167'), ICD-11, ICHI, or SNOMED. Returns corpus entries crosswalked to that code. Useful for clinicians, researchers, and policy teams.
Inputs: code, limit
milestonesDevelopmental milestones from the Pinnacle Ask corpus, optionally filtered by child age in months and developmental domain. Use to answer 'what should my child be doing at N months' style questions. Non-diagnostic.
Inputs: age_months, domain, limit
pathwayTrace how a developmental topic or skill progresses across age stages — a staged pathway view (e.g. how 'speech' develops from babbling to sentences). Returns corpus entries grouped per stage.
Inputs: topic, per_stage
red_flagsEarly warning signs ('what to watch') for a developmental topic, domain, and/or age in months — framed as guidance to seek professional evaluation, never as a diagnosis. Use when a caregiver asks whether a behaviour is concerning.
Inputs: topic, domain, age_months, limit
relatedQuestions and answers related to a given Pinnacle Ask entry — the interlinked query graph around one id. `id` accepts a slug, /ask path, or full URL.
Inputs: id, limit
searchSearch the Pinnacle Ask child-development knowledge corpus (pinnacleblooms.org/ask) — real parent questions with clinically grounded, non-diagnostic answers covering speech, motor, social, cognitive, sensory, feeding and behavioural develop
Inputs: query, age_months, domain, limit
topicCurated hub of Pinnacle Ask content for one value of a taxonomy: kind ∈ persona | route | domain | condition | age-band, plus the value (e.g. kind='condition', value='autism'). Use `browse` first to discover valid values.
Inputs: kind, value, limit
