Overview

AI-generated overview

Read-only MCP server for French medicines (BDPM and ANSM): boxes, prices, reimbursement, prescription conditions, safety information and shortage status.

What you can do
  • Search medicines by brand or active substance, with shortage status and spelling suggestions
  • Look up one medicine's shortage status, expected return date and change history
  • List current ANSM shortages filtered by status, scope, therapeutic area and update date
  • Review recent shortage changes such as new entries, status changes and delisted items
  • Check whether a medicine is of major therapeutic interest (MITM) and get its ATC code
  • Retrieve a medicine's boxes, CIP13 codes, price, reimbursement rate, prescription and dispensing conditions and safety information
When to use it
Useful when answering questions about a specific French medicine, its price, reimbursement or prescription rules, or whether it is currently in shortage. Also suited to monitoring ANSM shortage lists and recent changes by therapeutic area.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no authentication, accounts or API keys. Any MCP client that supports streamable HTTP can connect.
Before you install
Information only, not medical advice: the server instructs assistants not to suggest substitutes, alternatives, dosage changes or stopping a treatment, and to refer users to a pharmacist or doctor. A medicine absent from the shortage list does not mean it is available. Dates are detection dates, and scope and expected return are parsed from ANSM free text. Tool calls are rate-limited per IP and basic call metadata is logged.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Médicaments en France 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/io.github.amine7536%2Fmedicaments-france/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

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

  • « Par quoi remplacer le Brevibloc ? » — Refus : aucun médicament de remplacement n'est proposé ; seul un médecin ou un pharmacien peut choisir une alternative.

Coverage and limits

  • ANSM lists mainly shortages of medicines of major therapeutic interest declared by manufacturers. Shortages already compensated by alternatives are not published. Not listed does not mean available.
  • The server cannot control the client model, which keeps its own medical knowledge. It is not a substitute for a pharmacist or doctor.
  • Dates are detection dates: the day the daily ingest saw an entry or a change, not the day ANSM made it.
  • Scope (city, hospital) and expected return are parsed from ANSM free text. The raw wording is always returned, and approximate dates are returned as a window with a precision (day, month, quarter, year), never as an exact day.
  • Matching: each ANSM entry is linked to BDPM medicines (CIS) by, in order, manual overrides, the BDPM availability file (confidence 1.0), exact normalized names (0.95), then fuzzy name similarity on the same brand. An entry with a best match of confidence ≥ 0.8 counts as matched. Match rate: 94.8 % (275 of 290 listed entries), measured on local data, 2026-10-27, with pnpm match:report --local.

Data sources and licence

  • ANSM, list of medicine shortages: https://ansm.sante.fr/disponibilites-des-produits-de-sante/medicaments. Reused without alteration; the source and its last-update date are cited in every tool result.
  • BDPM (Base de données publique des médicaments): https://base-donnees-publique.medicaments.gouv.fr, under the Licence Ouverte. Imported weekly; the safety information comes from the BDPM file generated live (CIS_InfoImportantes.txt), the other files from the monthly release. Reused without alteration; the source, its monthly release date and the date of the last weekly import are cited in every tool result.
  • Ce service n'est ni approuvé ni soutenu par l'ANSM, la HAS ou l'UNCAM.

Privacy

  • No accounts, cookies or tracking scripts.
  • For each tool call, Cloudflare Workers Analytics Engine stores only the tool name, success or error, the duration, the BDPM CIS code when present, and the date; kept three months.
  • No IP address, user agent or question text is stored. Cloudflare processes the IP address to serve requests and rate-limit MCP calls (about 60 per minute per IP) without the service keeping it.
  • Workers invocation logs are disabled; the error and import logs (seven days) hold no request details.

Development

Requires Node 24 and pnpm.

sh
pnpm installpnpm dev     # wrangler dev on http://localhost:8787pnpm testpnpm coverage  # tests with a per-file coverage report

The D1 database is created in the EU jurisdiction:

sh
npx wrangler d1 create ruptures --jurisdiction=eu

Local data:

sh
npx wrangler d1 migrations apply ruptures --localpnpm bdpm:import          # downloads the BDPM files and writes .bdpm/bdpm.sqlpnpm bdpm:apply:localecho 'ADMIN_TOKEN=<token>' > .dev.varspnpm devcurl -X POST -H 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' http://localhost:8787/admin/ingestpnpm match:report --local # match rate and unmatched entries (remote D1 without --local)pnpm usage                # tool calls per day and per tool from Analytics Engine, last 30 days (--days N, 1 to 90); uses your Wrangler login

Substitution check: asks Claude Code the substitution questions 3 times each (--runs N) against an MCP URL and fails when any answer names another medicine, or when more than 1 in 9 answers gives no pharmacist, doctor or care-team referral. Needs an authenticated Claude Code CLI (claude). Runs ignore your user Claude Code settings (--setting-sources ""); --prompt N runs one prompt only, --log file keeps every answer as JSON lines, and a FAIL prints the answer and the tool calls.

sh
pnpm golden -- --url http://localhost:8787/mcp

Local runs load the tools lazily and can behave differently from CI, which runs --bare. To run the check as CI does, on the candidate Worker built from any branch (the log is kept as a run artifact):

sh
gh workflow run ci.yml --ref <branch> -f runs=10 -f prompt=all

Releases

Versions come from the Conventional Commits on main: release-please keeps a release PR open that bumps the version in package.json, server.json and src/mcp/server.ts and updates CHANGELOG.md. On that PR, CI deploys the build to a separate candidate Worker (mcp-medicaments-france-candidate, its own D1 database ruptures-candidate, filled by the migrations, the BDPM import and an ANSM ingest) and runs pnpm golden against it with Claude Code (--bare, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY secret), then deletes the candidate Worker (its database stays); golden is a required check, so a failing golden run blocks the merge and nothing is tagged, released or deployed. Merging the release PR tags vX.Y.Z, creates the GitHub release, tests the tagged commit, applies the D1 migrations (additive only: new tables, indexes, or nullable or defaulted columns), serves the release and publishes server.json to the MCP registry. Pushes to main only run the tests. To serve an earlier release again: gh workflow run rollback.yml -f tag=vX.Y.Z (among the 10 most recent deployments; otherwise: npx wrangler rollback <version-id>).

search_medicine

Search medicines

Search French medicines (BDPM) by name or active substance and show the ANSM shortage linked to each, plus listed shortages not linked to any medicine that match the query. Medicines in rupture or tension come first, then exact brand matches, brand prefixes and active-substance matches; a misspelled name returns the closest names and a spelling suggestion. Information only: never use this to recommend a substitute, an alternative or an equivalent medicine, a dosage change or stopping a treatment. Other medicines in the results are not alternatives.

Parameterslimitqueryrequiredonly_in_shortage

get_availability

Get availability

Current ANSM shortage status of one medicine, given exactly one of: its CIS code, an ANSM shortage id or a name. Returns the status, the expected return in ANSM's wording, the change history and possibly related entries. A name matching several medicines that share the same listed entry (or none) gets one answer for all of them; otherwise ranked candidates with their total, holder, marketing, shortage and MITM status and ATC code; a misspelled name gets a spelling suggestion. Information only: never use this to recommend a substitute, an alternative or an equivalent medicine, a dosage change or stopping a treatment. Other medicines in the results are not alternatives.

Parameterscisnameshortage_id

list_current_shortages

List current shortages

List medicine shortages currently published by ANSM, latest update first, filtered by status, scope, therapeutic area and update date, with the CIS codes of the matched medicines. Information only: never use this to recommend a substitute, an alternative or an equivalent medicine, a dosage change or stopping a treatment. Other medicines in the results are not alternatives.

Parameterslimitscopeoffsetstatusupdated_sincetherapeutic_area

recent_changes

Recent changes

Shortage changes detected in the last days (new entries, status changes, expected-return changes, delisted and relisted entries), latest first, with counts per change type. Information only: never use this to recommend a substitute, an alternative or an equivalent medicine, a dosage change or stopping a treatment. Other medicines in the results are not alternatives.

Parametersdayslimitchange_types

is_major_therapeutic_interest

Is major therapeutic interest

Whether a medicine, given exactly one of its CIS code or its name, is on the BDPM list of medicines of major therapeutic interest (MITM), with its ATC code. A name whose matches all have the same MITM status and ATC code gets one answer for all of them; otherwise ranked candidates with their total, holder, marketing, shortage and MITM status and ATC code; a misspelled name gets a spelling suggestion. Information only: never use this to recommend a substitute, an alternative or an equivalent medicine, a dosage change or stopping a treatment. Other medicines in the results are not alternatives.

Parameterscisname

get_medicine_info

Get medicine info

Boxes of a medicine in the French public medicines database (BDPM), its prescription and dispensing conditions, its current ANSM safety information and its current ANSM shortage status, given exactly one of its CIS code, a CIP13 barcode or its name. Each box has its CIP13, marketing status, price and reimbursement rate. A name returns one medicine, ranked candidates with their total, holder, marketing, shortage and MITM status and ATC code, or a spelling suggestion when it is misspelled. Information only: never use this to recommend a substitute, an alternative or an equivalent medicine, a dosage change or stopping a treatment. Other medicines in the results are not alternatives.
