# MyPeps > MyPeps is a free, independent peptide reference: plain-English summaries of each peptide, evidence ratings (1-5), FDA and WADA status, independent lab reports (COA purity tests), and a visual reconstitution calculator that shows how much water to add and exactly where to draw on an insulin syringe. Educational only, not medical advice; it never recommends doses. ## Tools for AI assistants - [Public MCP server](https://www.mypeps.info/mcp): free, no key. Tools: calculate_reconstitution, get_peptide_facts, list_peptides. Add it as a custom connector in Claude or ChatGPT. - [OpenAPI spec](https://www.mypeps.info/openapi.json): the same tools as a REST API (/api/v1/calculate, /api/v1/peptide, /api/v1/peptides) for Custom GPT actions. - [How to connect](https://www.mypeps.info/ai) ## The calculator - [Reconstitution calculator and guide](https://www.mypeps.info/calculator): concentration (mg/mL) = vial mg ÷ mL of water. Units on a U-100 insulin syringe = dose (mg) ÷ concentration × 100 (100 units = 1 mL). - Any setup can be linked: https://www.mypeps.info/peptides/?vial=&water=&dose=#calculator opens it with the syringe drawn to the dose. ## Peptides - [BPC-157](https://www.mypeps.info/peptides/bpc-157): The most-discussed healing peptide, built on a stomach-protein fragment.
