## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, 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)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Endpoint Security**: 63/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS not yet verified: we couldn't determine whether a plaintext access path exists.
  - HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent.
  - DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 63/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 968 tokens (~242/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (4)

### `check_drug` (~288 tokens)

Retrieve pharmaceutical regulatory reference data for a drug, medicine, or active ingredient across multiple authoritative datasets. Input: drug brand name, generic active ingredient, or CAS number (e.g. 'metformin', 'ibuprofen', '50-78-2'). Returns: DrugBank compound data (ID, groups, targets, SMILES, DDI count), WHO Essential Medicines listing (ATC code, formulations, indications, dosage, contraindications, pregnancy safety), Australian TGA ARTG records (ARTG ID, sponsor, category, schedule, dosage form, route, indications), and FDA NDI notifications (NDI number, FDA response, intended use). Sources: DrugBank (4,947 compounds), WHO EML, Australian TGA ARTG (23,259 medicines), FDA NDI (1,330 notifications). For pharmaceutical regulatory compliance and drug safety reference. Do not use for drug-drug interactions (use check_drug_interactions), adverse events (use check_adverse_events), or cosmetic/food/cannabis substances.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Drug brand name, generic active ingredient, medicine name, synonym, or CAS number (Chemical Abstracts Service registry number, e.g. '50-78-2'). Use generic active ingredient names when possible for c…

### `check_drug_interactions` (~237 tokens)

Check drug-drug interactions with severity, mechanism, clinical effect, and management guidance from a curated pharmaceutical interaction database. Input: primary drug name and optional second drug for pair-specific lookup (e.g. 'warfarin' + 'aspirin'). Returns: interaction pairs with severity classification, pharmacological mechanism, clinical effect description, evidence level, and management recommendations. Single-drug queries return all known interactions grouped by severity. Database: 5,000 documented drug-drug interactions with clinical evidence. For pharmaceutical safety review and medication management. Do not use for drug monographs (use check_drug), adverse events (use check_adverse_events), or non-drug interactions.

Input parameters:

- `drug` (string, required): Primary drug or active ingredient name for interaction lookup (e.g. 'warfarin', 'metformin', 'lisinopril'). Use generic names when possible because interaction datasets usually normalize to active su…
- `second_drug` (string): Optional second drug or active ingredient name for a specific interaction pair (e.g. 'aspirin'). Omit when the user wants all known interactions for the primary drug.

### `check_adverse_events` (~202 tokens)

Retrieve FDA FAERS post-market adverse event reports and safety signals for a drug or active ingredient. Input: drug brand name or generic active ingredient (e.g. 'ibuprofen', 'metformin'). Returns: total FAERS report counts, serious outcome counts, death report counts, top 10 adverse reactions by frequency, most common patient age groups, and drug ranking. Source: FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) — 2,000 top-reported drugs with aggregated safety signals. For pharmacovigilance and post-market drug safety assessment. Do not use for interaction mechanisms (use check_drug_interactions), regulatory approvals (use check_drug), or supplement/nutrition questions.

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Drug brand name or generic active ingredient for FDA FAERS adverse-event lookup (e.g. 'ibuprofen', 'acetaminophen', 'metformin'). Use the active ingredient when possible to capture reports filed unde…

### `search_pharma` (~241 tokens)

Search across all pharmaceutical regulatory and safety datasets by disease area, drug class, safety endpoint, indication, target, or regulatory keyword. Input: keyword for broad discovery (e.g. 'diabetes', 'antibiotic', 'hepatotoxicity', 'pregnancy', 'cancer'). Returns: cross-dataset matches from DrugBank, WHO Essential Medicines, Australian TGA ARTG, FDA FAERS, drug interactions, FDA NDI, and ChEMBL bioactivity — each with dataset labels, identifiers, and source-specific fields. Database: 7 pharmaceutical datasets totaling 45,000+ records. For pharmaceutical research and regulatory intelligence discovery. Do not use when the exact drug name is known (use check_drug, check_drug_interactions, or check_adverse_events for targeted lookups).

Input parameters:

- `query` (string, required): Pharmaceutical keyword, disease area, drug class, safety endpoint, indication, target, or regulatory term (e.g. 'diabetes', 'antibiotic', 'cancer', 'pregnancy', 'hepatotoxicity'). Use this for broad…
