## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `mhra_search` (~260 tokens)

Search the UK MHRA products register by product name, brand name or active substance — e.g. "ibuprofen", "Nurofen", "atorvastatin". Post-Brexit the EMA register does not cover the UK, so this is the UK authorisation surface. Returns one row per DOCUMENT (a product usually has an SmPC, a patient leaflet and sometimes an assessment report), each with its PL number, the MHRA territory it covers, the document date and a direct link to the authoritative PDF. Use mhra_product to gather every document for one PL number.

Input parameters:

- `doc_type` (string): Restrict to one document type: "Spc" (prescribing info), "Pil" (patient leaflet) or "Par" (assessment report).
- `limit` (number): Rows to return, 1-50 (default 10).
- `offset` (number): Rows to skip, for paging (default 0).
- `query` (string, required): Product name, brand, or active substance. e.g. "atorvastatin", "Nurofen".
- `territory` (string): Restrict to "UK" (whole), "GB" (Great Britain only) or "NI" (Northern Ireland only).

### `mhra_product` (~162 tokens)

Every MHRA document held for one UK licence number, grouped by document type — the SmPC that carries the authorised indications, the patient leaflet, and the public assessment report where one exists. Accepts any spelling of the PL number ("PL 29831/0798", "PL29831/0798", "PL298310798", and the PLGB / PLNI forms). Returns the authoritative PDF URL for each. The indication text itself lives inside the SmPC PDF, not in this register, so this tool gives you the exact document to read rather than a summary of it.

Input parameters:

- `pl_number` (string, required): UK licence number, e.g. "PL 29831/0798" or "PLGB 17901/0373".

### `mhra_recent_changes` (~201 tokens)

MHRA documents added or revised since a date, newest first — the weekly-refresh feed. Pass an ISO date such as "2026-09-01". Returns the same rows as mhra_search plus the cutoff that was applied, so replaying the same `since` gives the same answer. NOTE what the register can and cannot tell you: a new or revised DOCUMENT is what is recorded here. A withdrawal is not published as an event, so this cannot report withdrawals — treat it as "new and changed", not "new, changed and withdrawn".

Input parameters:

- `doc_type` (string): Restrict to "Spc", "Pil" or "Par".
- `limit` (number): Maximum documents to return, 1-200 (default 50).
- `since` (string, required): ISO date or datetime, e.g. "2026-09-01" or "2026-09-01T00:00:00Z".

### `mhra_snapshot` (~78 tokens)

How big the UK register currently is and how to walk all of it: total document count, the count per document type, the newest document date, and the paging recipe for a full enumeration. MHRA publishes no bulk download, so this returns the enumeration path rather than a file URL — and it returns those counts, never the documents themselves.
