What is the DailyMed Drug Labels MCP Server?
Equip your AI agent with the official source for FDA-published drug labels through the DailyMed MCP server. This integration provides real-time access to the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) database of Structured Product Labeling (SPL). Your agent can search for drug labels by name, retrieve detailed packaging information (including NDC codes and NDC history), and explore official prescribing information. Whether you are auditing medication packaging, researching regulatory labeling history, or verifying NDC identifiers, your agent acts as a dedicated regulatory specialist through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Label Search — Find official FDA drug labels by medication name or keyword.
- NDC Lookup — Retrieve detailed packaging and labeling information for specific NDC codes.
- History Tracking — Explore the historical records of NDC changes and packaging updates.
- Packaging Auditing — Summarize official packaging details for pharmaceutical inventory and compliance.

Frequently asked questions
What is an NDC code?
NDC stands for National Drug Code. It is a unique 10-digit or 11-digit, 3-segment number used in the US to identify human drugs.
Can I search for labels by generic name?
Yes! The search_drug_labels tool accepts drug names, which can be either brand names or generic names. It will return all matching official labels.
Does this include the history of packaging changes?
Yes. The get_ndc_history tool specifically retrieves the record of changes and updates associated with a particular National Drug Code.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
