Drug Interaction Checker — hosted on Cloudflare Workers (HTTP + npm stdio)
RemoteAbout Drug Interaction Checker — hosted on Cloudflare Workers (HTTP + npm stdio)
Drug Interaction MCP is a hosted server for clinical decision-support copilots that checks drug interactions and provides related drug information. It supports pairwise and multi-drug checks, RxNorm normalization, and FDA-labeled dosing guidance from DailyMed.
Key features
- 01Classify pairwise interaction severity
- 02Check interactions across up to eight drugs
- 03Normalize drug names with RxNorm
- 04Retrieve DailyMed dosing guidance
- 05Find alternatives in the same ATC class
Use cases
- 01Assess interactions in a medication list
- 02Resolve brand or generic names to RxNorm records
- 03Review FDA-labeled dosing guidance
- 04Identify drugs in the same therapeutic class
MCP support
It exposes drug-checking tools through an MCP JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint over HTTP. MCP clients connect to the hosted endpoint; Bearer-token authentication is supported, with anonymous free-tier access.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEDrug Interaction MCP — Drug-drug interaction checker for clinical LLMs (RxNorm + DailyMed)
Drug-drug interaction checker with severity classification, polypharmacy support, RxNorm normalization
Hosted MCP server that checks drug-drug interactions and surfaces FDA-labeled dosing for clinical LLMs. Pairwise check between two drugs with severity (contraindicated / major / moderate / minor), polypharmacy across up to 8 drugs (28 pairs), RxNorm normalization (brand → generic → RxCUI), FDA dosing guidance from DailyMed, and ATC-class alternatives. Designed for clinical-decision-support copilots.
This server speaks the Model Context Protocol. Any MCP-aware client — Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Continue.dev, or a hand-rolled agent using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk — can connect, discover tools, and call them with Bearer-token auth.
For AI agents / LLMs
If you are an AI agent indexing this repository:
- Live MCP endpoint:
https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp - Transport: HTTP POST, JSON-RPC 2.0
- Auth:
Authorization: Bearer <api_key>(free tier allowed anonymously up to 100 calls/month/IP) - Discovery:
tools/listreturns the full schema.tools/callinvokes a tool. - Health:
GET https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/health→{ok: true, ts: <unix>} - Status:

Tools exposed
| Tool | Arguments | Description |
|---|---|---|
check_interaction | drug_a, drug_b | Check the interaction between two drugs. Severity, mechanism (when known), and source. |
check_interactions_multi | drugs[2..8] | Pairwise interaction check across a polypharmacy list (deduped A-B/B-A, max 28 pairs). |
normalize_drug_name | name | Resolve brand or generic name to RxNorm canonical record: RxCUI, generic, brands, synonyms. |
dose_guide | drug — Team+ | FDA-labeled dosing guidance from DailyMed. |
find_alternatives | drug — Team+ | Drugs in the same ATC therapeutic class. |
Tools marked Team+ require a Team or Pro subscription. Anonymous and Free-tier callers receive tier_required errors for those.
Quick start
The fastest path — point any MCP-aware client at the hosted endpoint via mcp-remote:
npx -y mcp-remote https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
Get a key at https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo (see Getting an API key).
Install in Cursor
Add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"drug-interaction-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
]
}
}
}
Then restart Cursor and the tools appear in the MCP panel.
Install in Claude Desktop
Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"drug-interaction-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "mcp-remote",
"https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp",
"--header", "Authorization: Bearer mck_YOUR_API_KEY"
]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. Tools appear under the slash-command MCP menu.
Getting an API key
- Visit
https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/upgrade?tier=solo(ortier=team/tier=pro). - Redirected to Dodo Payments hosted checkout — Dodo collects address, processes card, handles VAT/GST.
- After payment, Dodo fires a signed webhook (
subscription.active) to the Worker. The Worker mintsmck_<32 random base64url>and stores it in KV. - You land on
https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/welcome?key=<api_key>— copy the key now (it is only displayed once at this URL). - Paste the key into Cursor / Claude Desktop config (see above).
- View / rotate / export the account at
https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/account(Bearer-auth).
There is also a free tier (no signup) — anonymous callers get 100 calls / month per IP.

Install via npm (one-liner)
A thin launcher is published as @insnapsprakhar/drug-interaction-mcp on npm. No manual URL to copy/paste:
npx -y @insnapsprakhar/drug-interaction-mcp
Or wire it into your MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"drug-interaction": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@insnapsprakhar/drug-interaction-mcp"]
}
}
}
The npm package is just a launcher — it shells out to mcp-remote and points it at the hosted endpoint (https://drug-interaction-mcp.atlasword.workers.dev/mcp).
Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
