Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server that lets an assistant search FDA DailyMed drug labels and look up SPLs, NDCs, packaging, ingredients and drug codes.

What you can do
  • Search drug labels by name, NDC, RxCUI, UNII, application number, marketing category or publish date
  • Fetch a full SPL label as XML, plus its version history, NDC codes, media images and packaging with active ingredients
  • Browse reference lists of drug names, NDCs, RxCUIs, UNIIs, drug classes and FDA application numbers
  • Check monthly usage, request a missing feature, or upgrade and cancel a paid plan
When to use it
Useful when you need authoritative FDA-approved labeling text, package sizes and codes, active ingredients, or label change history for a drug, and want an assistant to look it up without manual browsing of DailyMed.
Requirements
Remote HTTP endpoint; no local install and no API key. Sign-in uses OAuth with an email address and a 6-digit code sent by email. Free tier allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans raise the limit.
Before you install
Usage is metered and paid plans are billed through a checkout link, so review pricing before upgrading; cancellation runs to the end of the paid period with no refund for the current period. Your email address is used for sign-in and stored as a hashed account id. Label data is reference information, not medical advice.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open DailyMed MCP by usefulapi 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.usefulapi%2Fdailymed/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

README

DailyMed MCP by usefulapi

Search DailyMed drug labels, SPLs, NDCs and packaging. Hosted, no local install.

Live endpoint: https://dailymed.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://dailymed.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http dailymed https://dailymed.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "dailymed": {      "url": "https://dailymed.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your email address and a 6-digit code.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/dailymed/

This server needs no credential — DailyMed is a public data source. On first connect you log in with your email: we send a 6-digit code from [email protected]. The address is used only to send the code; we keep a one-way hash of it as your account id, so your free calls and your plan stay yours.

Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run dailymed_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately.
