You deploy this MCP server to access DailyMed data via a standardized MCP interface. It provides structured drug information from DailyMed, enabling you to search labels, drug names, RxCUI mappings, pharmacologic classes, and detailed drug data through a consistent API surface.

How to use

You connect to the DailyMed MCP Server using an MCP client. Use the available search tools to locate drug information, such as search_spls for structured product labels, search_drug_names for manufacturer and name type filtered queries, and search_rxcuis to find RxCUI codes. Retrieve detailed drug data with get_drug_details, view drug history with get_drug_history, and access packaging or media information via get_drug_packaging and get_drug_media. If mappings are available, you can explore RxNorm mappings and pharmacologic classifications with the respective mapping tools. All responses support pagination where applicable.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation: Node.js and npm installed on your system.

Step 1: Clone the DailyMed MCP Server repository to your environment.

Step 2: Navigate into the project directory.

Step 3: Install dependencies.

Step 4: Build the project.

Optional: Download and place DailyMed mapping files in the project root if you have them.

Step 5: Run the server in production mode.

Step 6: Run the server in development mode for hot reload.
