## MCP tools (7)

### `search_drugs` (~134 tokens)

Search Structured Product Labels by any combination of name, ANDA/NDA, NDC, RxCUI.

Input parameters:

- `application_number` (string): ANDA/NDA number (e.g. "NDA021436")
- `manufacturer` (string): Manufacturer name
- `name` (string): Drug name (brand or generic)
- `ndc` (string): NDC code (11-digit)
- `page` (number): 1-based page (default 1)
- `pagesize` (number): 1-100 (default 25)
- `rxcui` (string): RxNorm RxCUI

### `get_drug` (~279 tokens)

FULL FDA DRUG LABEL TEXT from the current DailyMed Structured Product Label — indications, dosage and administration, contraindications, warnings and precautions, boxed warning, adverse reactions, and every other labeled section, as readable plain text. Pass a DRUG NAME ("Ozempic", "ibuprofen") and it resolves the label automatically, or a DailyMed set_id. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what are the warnings for X", "what is X indicated for", "what is the dose of X", "does X have a boxed warning". Returns the label title, labeler, SPL version and publication date alongside the sections.

Input parameters:

- `drug_name` (string): Drug brand or generic name (e.g. "Ozempic", "ibuprofen"). Resolved to the primary manufacturer's label. Use this OR set_id.
- `max_section_chars` (number): Truncate each section body to this many characters (default 4000, max 40000).
- `section` (string): Optional case-insensitive substring filter, matched against both the section heading and its LOINC category, e.g. "boxed warning", "warnings", "dosage", "indications". Omit for the whole label.
- `set_id` (string): DailyMed SET ID UUID, when you already have one. Takes precedence over drug_name.

### `list_labels_for_drug_name` (~42 tokens)

All labels mentioning a drug name.

Input parameters:

- `drug_name` (string, required)
- `page` (number)
- `pagesize` (number)

### `recent_updates` (~59 tokens)

Return the most recently updated FDA Structured Product Labels from DailyMed (NLM), up to 100 results, ordered by update date descending. Useful for tracking newly revised drug labeling.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): 1-100 (default 25)

### `label_history` (~226 tokens)

Drug LABEL REVISION HISTORY — when a prescription drug's FDA label was revised, and how many times. Pass a DRUG NAME ("Ozempic", "semaglutide") and it resolves to that drug's Structured Product Label automatically; or pass a DailyMed set_id directly. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "has the label for X changed recently", "when was X's label last updated", "how many label revisions does X have", label-change monitoring, and safety-labeling-change surveillance. Returns every published SPL version with its date, plus official archive URLs where DailyMed exposes them. Use before label_diff to see which versions are downloadable and pick two to compare.

Input parameters:

- `drug_name` (string): Drug brand or generic name (e.g. "Ozempic", "semaglutide"). Resolved to the primary manufacturer's label (the most-revised SPL for that name, over repackager duplicates). Use this OR set_id.
- `set_id` (string): DailyMed SET ID UUID, when you already have one. Takes precedence over drug_name.

### `label_diff` (~267 tokens)

WHAT CHANGED between two versions of a drug's FDA label — conservative section-level text comparison of official DailyMed SPL versions. Pass a DRUG NAME ("Ozempic") and it resolves the label automatically; or pass a set_id. Defaults to the latest version versus its immediate predecessor. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what changed in X's label", "new warnings added to X", "did X get a boxed warning", label-change diffing. Reports added, removed, and changed sections with normalized before/after text. Reports textual change only and leaves clinical materiality to the caller.

Input parameters:

- `drug_name` (string): Drug brand or generic name (e.g. "Ozempic"). Resolved to the primary manufacturer's label. Use this OR set_id.
- `from_version` (number): Older SPL version. Defaults to the version immediately before the latest.
- `include_unchanged` (boolean): Include unchanged sections (default false).
- `max_sections` (number): Maximum section records returned (1-100, default 25); counts cover all sections.
- `set_id` (string): DailyMed SET ID UUID, when you already have one. Takes precedence over drug_name.
- `to_version` (number): Newer SPL version. Defaults to the latest version.

### `list_classes` (~154 tokens)

List pharmacologic drug-class reference entries from DailyMed, optionally filtered by class_code or class type (EPC = established pharmacologic class, MoA = mechanism of action, PE = physiologic effect, CS = chemical structure). Returns class codes and display names. ~1,210 classes total, 100 per page.

Input parameters:

- `class_code` (string): Restrict to a specific class code. NLM RxClass format, e.g. "N0000175809" — not a UMLS CUI.
- `page` (number): 1-based page (100 per page, ~13 pages). Ignored when class_code is given.
- `type` (string): EPC | MoA | PE | CS
