Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key?
No! OpenFDA data is completely free and open. No authentication required. Just subscribe and start searching. Rate limit is 240 requests/minute for unauthenticated access.
What search syntax should I use?
Use Lucene query syntax: openfda.brand_name:"Advil" for brand names, patient.reaction.reactionmeddrapt:"headache" for reactions, event_type:"Injury" for device events. Combine with AND/OR operators.
What are drug adverse events?
Drug adverse events are safety reports submitted to the FDA about potential side effects from medications. Reports come from healthcare professionals, consumers and manufacturers. They do NOT prove the drug caused the event — just that the event was reported while the patient was taking the drug.
How does LangChain connect to MCP servers?
Use langchain-mcp-adapters to create an MCP client. LangChain discovers all tools and wraps them as native LangChain tools compatible with any agent type.
Which LangChain agent types work with MCP?
All agent types including ReAct, OpenAI Functions, and custom agents work with MCP tools. The tools appear as standard LangChain tools after the adapter wraps them.
Can I trace MCP tool calls in LangSmith?
Yes. All MCP tool invocations appear as traced steps in LangSmith, showing input parameters, response payloads, latency, and token usage.
