Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for Indian medicine prices: NPPA-filed MRPs, price ceilings, cheaper same-composition brands and CDSCO failed batches.

What you can do
  • Search medicine brands, compositions and companies in NPPA price filings
  • Look up one brand's packs, MRP, price per unit, composition and ceiling status
  • Compare every brand of a composition by price per unit, with lowest, median and highest
  • Profile a pharmaceutical company group, its molecules and above-ceiling packs
  • Find CDSCO batches declared not of standard quality by product, manufacturer or month
  • List price-controlled packs filed above NPPA's ceiling plus GST
When to use it
Useful when someone asks what an Indian medicine costs, which brand of a given composition is cheapest, whether a pack is price-controlled, or whether a company or batch has appeared in CDSCO quality alerts.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint at counterfoil.in; no authentication, environment variables or headers declared. Network access to the endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Prices are filed maximum retail prices, not what a pharmacy charges, and nothing returned is medical advice. Answers should cite the counterfoil.in page and filing month. Failed-batch and above-ceiling results are regulatory filings about companies and products, so present them carefully.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Counterfoil: medicines sold in India in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/in.counterfoil%2Fmedicines/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.
