Frequently asked questions
Can I search for a specific drug brand like 'Advil'?
Yes! Use the search_drug_labels tool with a search parameter like openfda.brand_name:"Advil". The agent will return the official SPL data including warnings and ingredients.
How can I find out how many different manufacturers produce a specific generic drug?
You can use the count_drug_labels tool. Set the count parameter to openfda.manufacturer_name.exact and use the search parameter to filter by the generic name.
Is it possible to sort results by the most recent label updates?
Yes. When using search_drug_labels, you can provide a sort parameter such as effective_time:desc to see the most recently updated labels first.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
