What is the FDA Drug Labels (openFDA) MCP Server?

Connect your AI agent to the official openFDA database to retrieve comprehensive drug label information and structured product labeling (SPL) data through natural conversation.

What you can do

  • Label Search — Search through thousands of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drug labels using brand names, generic names, or specific warnings.
  • Market Analysis — Count unique values for fields like manufacturer names to understand the competitive landscape of specific medications.
  • Detailed Metadata — Access precise information including active ingredients, dosage forms, indications, and usage instructions.
  • Advanced Filtering — Use Lucene query syntax to filter results by effective time, product type, or specific FDA identifiers.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your openFDA API Key
  3. Start querying drug information directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Healthcare Professionals — quickly retrieve drug warnings and label information without navigating complex government portals.
  • Researchers & Analysts — perform market analysis by counting manufacturers and tracking new drug label submissions.
  • Developers — integrate real-time, official FDA data into health-tech applications and research tools.

Built-in capabilities (2)

count_drug_labels

search_drug_labels

Use the search parameter to filter by fields like openfda.brand_name, warnings, etc. Search FDA drug labels (SPL format)

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns FDA Drug Labels (openFDA) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from FDA Drug Labels (openFDA) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 2 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

  • Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

  • Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

  • MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

  • VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

05

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

06

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

07

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.

08

Tools not appearing in Cursor

Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.

09

Server shows as disconnected

Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
