Captured live from the server via tools/list.

check_cannabis_testing

Retrieve US state-level cannabis testing limits and action levels for regulatory compliance. Input: US state name (e.g. 'California', 'Colorado'), optional test category (pesticide, heavy_metal, microbial, solvent, mycotoxin, potency, moisture), and optional specific analyte name (e.g. 'lead', 'arsenic', 'Salmonella', 'butane'). Returns: testing categories with analyte names, action levels (pass/fail thresholds), units (ppm, ppb, CFU/g), product class applicability (flower, concentrate, edible), and regulation references. Database: 1,942 state-level testing requirements across all legalized US states. For cannabis laboratory compliance and product testing requirements. Do not use for controlled-substance scheduling (use check_controlled_substance), Health Canada regulations (use check_cannabis_compliance with jurisdiction 'Canada'), or non-cannabis food pesticide MRLs.

Parameters (3)

statestringrequired
US state name for cannabis testing-limit lookup (e.g. 'California', 'Colorado', 'Oregon'). Use the state where the cannabis product is tested or sold because action levels vary by jurisdiction.
test_categorystring
Optional cannabis laboratory testing category filter. Use pesticide, heavy_metal, microbial, solvent, mycotoxin, potency, or moisture when the user asks about a specific contaminant or assay class.
analytestring
Optional specific cannabis testing analyte or contaminant name (e.g. 'lead', 'arsenic', 'Salmonella', 'butane'). Use analyte names to narrow a state/category lookup to one action level.

check_controlled_substance

Check international controlled-substance scheduling status across UN, EU, and novel psychoactive substance databases. Input: substance name, cannabinoid, narcotic drug, precursor, NPS name, synonym, or CAS number (e.g. 'cannabis', 'THC', 'morphine', 'pseudoephedrine', '64-17-5'). Returns: UN INCB Yellow List scheduling (narcotic drugs under 1961 Single Convention — schedule, synonyms, formula, conversion ratio, CAS), EU Drug Precursor category (CN code, threshold quantities, license/registration requirements), and EMCDDA/EUDA Novel Psychoactive Substance risk assessment (chemical class, control status, risk assessment year, scheduling decision). Sources: INCB Yellow List (154 narcotic drugs), EU Drug Precursors regulation (46 chemicals), EMCDDA/EUDA NPS risk assessments (41 substances). For controlled substance regulatory compliance and scheduling verification. Do not use for cannabis testing limits (use check_cannabis_testing) or product compliance summaries (use check_cannabis_compliance).

Parameters (1)

querystringrequired
Controlled substance common name, cannabinoid, narcotic drug, precursor chemical, NPS name, synonym, or CAS number (e.g. 'morphine', 'cannabis', '64-17-5'). Use CAS when available for exact matching across INCB, EU precursor, and EMCDDA/EUDA records.

check_cannabis_compliance

Retrieve cannabis product compliance requirements by jurisdiction including all required testing categories, analyte limits, and regulatory sections. Input: US state name or 'Canada' for Health Canada, optional product class (flower, concentrate, edible, topical, extract, oil, dried_cannabis). Returns for US states: all testing categories (pesticide, heavy metal, microbial, solvent, mycotoxin, potency, moisture) with per-analyte action levels, units, and product-type applicability. Returns for Canada: Health Canada cannabis regulation parameters, limit values, units, product class, and regulation section references. Database: 1,942 US state testing requirements + 383 Health Canada cannabis regulations. For cannabis product compliance planning and regulatory gap analysis. Do not use for controlled-substance scheduling (use check_controlled_substance) or broad keyword discovery (use search_cannabis_regulations).

Parameters (2)

jurisdictionstringrequired
Cannabis compliance jurisdiction: a US state name (e.g. 'California') or 'Canada' for Health Canada cannabis regulations. Choose the market where the product will be tested, sold, or assessed.
product_classstring
Optional cannabis product class for compliance filtering. Use flower, concentrate, edible, topical, extract, oil, or dried_cannabis when requirements differ by product format.

search_cannabis_regulations

Search across all cannabis and controlled-substance regulatory datasets by keyword for regulatory intelligence discovery. Input: keyword covering jurisdiction, product class, analyte, substance, precursor, or NPS term (e.g. 'THC', 'pesticide', 'heavy metal', 'Salmonella', 'morphine', 'pseudoephedrine'). Returns: cross-dataset matches from US state cannabis testing limits (grouped by state), UN INCB scheduling (narcotic drugs), Health Canada cannabis regulations, and EU Drug Precursors — each with dataset labels, jurisdictions, substance/analyte names, limits, and regulatory references. Database: 1,942 testing limits + 154 INCB substances + 383 Health Canada records + 46 EU precursors + 41 EMCDDA NPS. For cannabis regulatory research and cross-jurisdictional analysis. Do not use when exact state, jurisdiction, or substance is known (use the specific compliance or scheduling tools).

Parameters (1)

querystringrequired
Cannabis regulatory keyword, jurisdiction, product class, analyte, controlled substance, precursor, or NPS term (e.g. 'THC', 'pesticide', 'heavy metal', 'Salmonella', 'morphine', 'pseudoephedrine'). Use broad terms for discovery across multiple cannabis and controlled-substance datasets.

Roots by Benda — Cannabis Regulatory Intelligence MCP Server

Cannabis testing requirements, controlled substance scheduling, and compliance data in one MCP. Check US state-level testing limits (pesticides, heavy metals, microbials, solvents, potency), UN/EU controlled substance schedules, Health Canada cannabis rules, and novel psychoactive substance monitoring — all source-linked and free.

No equivalent consolidated cross-jurisdiction cannabis compliance MCP exists. This is the first.

Tools

`check_cannabis_testing`

Look up cannabis testing limits by US state, test category, product type, or analyte. Returns pesticide, heavy metal, microbial, solvent, mycotoxin, potency, moisture, action-level, unit, and regulation-reference data.

code

state: "California", test_category: "heavy_metal"
→ Arsenic: 0.2 µg/g (inhalable), 1.5 µg/g (non-inhalable) — CA DCC 4 CCR §15723
  Cadmium: 0.2 µg/g (inhalable), 0.5 µg/g (non-inhalable)
