The KPIC MCP Server provides programmatic access to Korea Pharmaceutical Information Center data, letting you search for medicines by name and retrieve detailed drug information through an MCP client. This server enables seamless integration of pharmaceutical data into your workflows or applications.

How to use

You can use this server with any MCP client by calling its two exposed endpoints. First, you can search for medicines by name to get a list of candidates with basic details. Then, you can fetch a selected medicine’s detailed information using its code from the initial results. Use these capabilities to build drug lookup features in your own apps or research tools.

Practical usage patterns include: 1) Quick药 lookups by English or Korean drug names to obtain basic information like manufacturer and indications. 2) Retrieve comprehensive details for a specific medicine, including ingredients, excipients, storage instructions, warnings, and pregnancy/breastfeeding considerations. 3) Combine search results with detail lookups to present a smooth browsing experience for end users.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+ is required to run the MCP server. You will also need pnpm as the package manager.
