Summary
Connects Claude to five public pharma data sources: ClinicalTrials.gov for trial protocols and eligibility criteria, PubMed for literature search with MeSH terms and citation formatting, FDA openFDA for drug labels and indications, FAERS for adverse event reports, and ICH for guideline summaries. No API keys needed. You get search operations across each database plus detail retrieval by ID (NCT, PMID). Useful if you're drafting regulatory documents, running competitive landscape searches, checking labeling precedent, or pulling citations without leaving your editor. Medical writers and regulatory affairs teams will recognize the workflow. Runs locally on Node.js, installs in under a minute.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.

MCP server for clinical and pharmaceutical data.
Gives Claude and any MCP-compatible AI agent direct access to:
- ClinicalTrials.gov — search and retrieve trial protocols, endpoints, eligibility criteria
- PubMed — literature search with MeSH terms, full abstracts, citation formatting
- FDA openFDA — drug labels, approved indications, warnings, boxed warnings
- FDA FAERS — adverse event reports with patient demographics and outcomes
- ICH Guidelines — structured summaries of E3, E6, E9, M4, Q1A, and more
No API keys required. All data sources are public. Runs locally in under 60 seconds.
