Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for US medication lookup: search drugs, forms and strengths, NDC and RxCUI codes, recalls and shortages.

What you can do
  • Search medications by brand, ingredient or everyday name, with results grouped the way a person would pick them.
  • Get the forms and strengths a drug comes in, plus the full drug record with names, ingredients, packages and recalls.
  • Resolve codes: package NDCs, product NDCs and RxCUIs to their drug and package records.
  • Check drug recalls and shortages, filtered by NDC, drug id or date.
  • Check catalog freshness to see which snapshot is served and when it was built.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to answer questions about US medications, such as identifying a pill from an NDC or RxCUI, comparing available forms and strengths, or checking whether a drug is recalled or in shortage.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at api.pillwise.dev over streamable HTTP, with a required bearer API key sent in the Authorization header. Free sandbox keys are available from the provider. No local runtime or environment variables are needed.
Before you install
The API key in the Authorization header is a secret and should be kept out of logs and shared transcripts. The catalog covers US medication data only and is a snapshot, so check catalog freshness before relying on recall or shortage status; it is not a substitute for clinical or professional advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Pillwise in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/dev.pillwise%2Fpillwise/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows
