Scout for ChatGPT and Claude
Ask your assistant about a product and get Scout’s independent 1–100 score, the flagged ingredients, published lab results and healthier swaps — the same analysis as scouthealthapp.com, with a link to the page behind every number. No account, no sign-in. Scores are Scout’s independent editorial opinion, for information only — not medical or nutritional advice (terms).
What it answers
- The Scout score and verdict for a product, by name or barcode
- The healthiest products in a category — protein powders, Greek yogurt, sunscreen, energy drinks…
- Side-by-side comparisons and higher-scoring alternatives
- What an ingredient or additive is and how Scout rates it
- Scout-rated restaurants and what to order at major US chains
Try asking
- “What does Scout score Poppi prebiotic soda?”
- “Find the healthiest protein powders.”
- “Compare Oatly and Califia oat milk — which is cleaner?”
- “Is carrageenan something to avoid?”
- “What should I order at Chipotle?”

Troubleshooting
- “No Scout analysis found” — ask with the barcode, or the brand name alone, then pick from the matches. Scout covers packaged products sold in the US; fresh produce and home-cooked food aren’t scored.
- “Analysis still in progress” — the product is in the database but not scored yet; open the linked page later.
- Category or chain not recognised — the reply lists the closest categories, or every chain Scout scores.
- “Temporarily unavailable” or “rate limited” — the database is briefly offline, or the per-address request limit was hit; ask again in a minute.
- The connector won’t connect — the URL is exactly
https://scouthealthapp.com/mcpwith no authentication. Anything else: team@scouthealthapp.com.
Privacy
The connector needs no account, keeps no record of what you ask and builds no profile of you. Each request is answered from Scout’s own database — no cookies, no analytics. Our host keeps standard server logs (IP address, user agent, time and path) for a short period for security and abuse protection, and requests are counted per address for one minute at a time to stop scraping; when you use ChatGPT or Claude, that address is normally the assistant provider’s, not yours. The conversation itself stays with the assistant you use, under its own privacy terms. Details: privacy policy. Scout Health is made by Wise Concepts LLC. Questions: team@scouthealthapp.com.
