# 🩺 Medical MCP Server> **Bring trusted medical data directly into your AI workflow.** A local server for private, free access to FDA, WHO, PubMed, RxNorm, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar. No API keys. No data leaks.An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that brings authoritative medical information into AI coding environments like Cursor and Claude Desktop.<a href="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@JamesANZ/medical-mcp">  <img width="380" height="200" src="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@JamesANZ/medical-mcp/badge" alt="medical-mcp MCP server" /></a>[![Trust Score](https://archestra.ai/mcp-catalog/api/badge/quality/JamesANZ/medical-mcp)](https://archestra.ai/mcp-catalog/jamesanz__medical-mcp)## Why Use Medical MCP?- 🔒 **Your Data Never Leaves** – Runs 100% locally; no tracking, no logs, no cloud- 🆓 **No API Keys** – Works out of the box, zero configuration- 🏥 **Authoritative Sources** – FDA, TGA, Health Canada, EMA, DailyMed, WHO, PubMed, RxNorm, ClinicalTrials.gov- ⚡ **Easy Setup** – One-click install in [Cursor](https://cursor.sh) or simple manual setup- 🔬 **Comprehensive** – Drug info, health stats, medical literature, clinical guidelines, pediatric sources- 🛡️ **Resilient** – Circuit breakers, retry with backoff, rate limiting, and automatic fallbacks- 📊 **Evidence-Graded** – Results tagged with study type and evidence level (Meta-Analysis → Case Report)- 🏥 **Health Monitoring** – Built-in health check tool to diagnose source availability## What's New in v2.0- **Resilience Layer** – Circuit breakers per source, retry with exponential backoff + jitter, per-source token bucket rate limiters- **Monid web search** – Scholar, AAP, and PMC HTML go through Monid TinyFish (Tavily-style search/fetch). Semantic Scholar is the no-key fallback- **Evidence Grading** – PubMed and multi-database results tagged with study type (Systematic Review, RCT, Cohort, Case Report, etc.) and evidence grade (I–V)- **Response Validation** – Zod schemas va

Tool	Risk	Description
`get-article-details`	read	Get detailed information about a specific medical article by PMID. Full text is attached only when the PMC record
`get-cache-stats`	read	Get cache statistics including hit rate, total entries, and memory usage
`get-health-statistics`	read	Get health statistics and indicators from WHO Global Health Observatory
`health-check`	read	Check the health and availability of all upstream data sources (FDA, TGA, Health Canada, EMA, PubMed, WHO, RxNorm, ClinicalTrials, Semantic Scholar, TinyFish). Reports build string, latency, circuit breaker states, and cache health.
`list-sources`	read	List medical data sources and which MCP tools reach them. Includes registry adapters and dedicated-tool sources (WHO, PubMed, RxNorm, Scholar). Not limited to the search-drugs regulator fanout.
`search-clinical-guidelines`	read	Search for clinical guidelines and practice recommendations from medical organizations
`search-clinical-trials`	read	Search ClinicalTrials.gov for trials by condition, intervention, or drug
`search-drug-nomenclature`	read	Search for drug information using RxNorm (standardized drug nomenclature)
`search-drug-safety`	read	Search pharmacovigilance data: FDA FAERS adverse events, recalls, and drug shortages
`search-drugs`	read	Search national drug regulators (FDA, DailyMed, TGA, Health Canada, EMA). Defaults to US, AU, CA, and EU. Pass countries: [
`search-google-scholar`	read	Search for academic research articles using Google Scholar
`search-medical-journals`	read	Search specific medical journals (NEJM, JAMA, Lancet, BMJ, Nature Medicine) for high-quality research
`search-medical-literature`	read	Search for medical research articles in PubMed
`search-pediatric-drugs`	read	Search for drugs with pediatric labeling and dosing information from FDA database
`search-pediatric-guidelines`	read	Search AAP pediatric guidelines. Policy statements and clinical reports come from PubMed (Pediatrics / AAP corporate author). Bright Futures and publications.aap.org web hits are kept only if the URL is on an AAP host with a real article path.
