More Details Connect to Claude

Connect your AI agent to the National Library of Medicine (NLM) RxNorm database. This server provides comprehensive access to standardized drug nomenclature and relationships, allowing for precise identification and analysis of pharmaceutical products.

What you can do

  • Drug Search — Find RxNorm Concept Unique Identifiers (RxCUIs) by name, identifier (NDC, ATC, SNOMEDCT), or approximate matching using find_rxcui_by_string and find_rxcui_by_id.
  • Property Inspection — Retrieve detailed drug properties, including names, synonyms, and attributes categorized by source via get_all_properties.
  • Relationship Mapping — Explore related concepts and term types (TTY) to understand drug hierarchies and ingredients using get_all_related_info.
  • Spelling Correction — Get suggestions for misspelled drug names to ensure accurate queries with get_spelling_suggestions.
  • NDC & Identifier Lookup — Map external codes to RxNorm standards for interoperability.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your NLM UTS API Key
  3. Start querying drug data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Healthcare Developers — Integrate standardized drug data into clinical decision support tools.
  • Medical Researchers — Analyze drug relationships and properties using a trusted, standardized vocabulary.
  • Data Scientists — Map disparate drug datasets to a common RxNorm standard for analysis.
