A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for real-time, authoritative medical and medication information. Certus integrates with Claude
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Med Info MCP Project MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for real-time, authoritative medical and medication information. Certus integrates with Claude Desktop and provides live access to FDA drug data, including shortages, recalls, and.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this serverTesting — Test RxNorm client: bash python3 drug_features.py Test OpenFDA client: bash python3 openfda_client.pyPrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: OPENFDA_API_KEY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Med Info MCP Project's toolset — Installation, Testing, Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by zesty-genius128; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
