From the repository
An MCP server that provides comprehensive medical information by querying multiple authoritative medical APIs including FDA, WHO, PubMed, Google Scholar, and RxNorm
What medical-mcp can do
14 tools documented in its README. An AI client calls these by name.
search-drugs- Search FDA, DailyMed, TGA (Australia), Health Canada, and EMA. Filter with `countries` (`US`, `AU`, `CA`, `EU`). Unsupported codes are rejected rather than returned as empty regulatory results.
search-drug-nomenclature- Standardized drug names via RxNorm (`limit` defaults to 25)
search-drug-safety- FDA FAERS adverse events (with report IDs), recalls, and shortages
get-health-statistics- WHO Global Health Observatory data (life expectancy, mortality, disease prevalence)
search-medical-literature- Search 30M+ PubMed articles (with evidence grading). Optional `question` or `rerank` reorders those hits so papers that actually answer the question sit above papers that only share keywords.
rank-search-hits- Same rerank for a list you already have (title + abstract). Retrieval ranking only — not diagnosis or advice.
get-article-details- Detailed article info by PMID
search-google-scholar- Academic papers via Monid TinyFish (`research_paper`) when `MONID_API_KEY` is set; otherwise Semantic Scholar
search-medical-journals- Top journals (NEJM, JAMA, Lancet, BMJ, Nature Medicine)
search-clinical-guidelines- Practice recommendations from medical organizations
search-clinical-trials- ClinicalTrials.gov
list-sources- Full catalog of registry adapters and dedicated-tool sources (WHO, PubMed, RxNorm, Scholar, AAP), including which MCP tool reaches each. This is not the `search-drugs` five-regulator fanout.
search-pediatric-guidelines- AAP policy/clinical reports via PubMed, plus Bright Futures. Off-domain web hits are dropped.
health-check- Returns the health status of various data sources.
