npm test
./test-mcp.sh

📊 API Examples

Comprehensive Drug Analysis (🔥 The Magic!)

// Cross-database analysis combining trials + literature + FDA data
const analysis = await comprehensiveAnalysis({
  drugName: "pembrolizumab",
  condition: "lung cancer", 
  analysisDepth: "comprehensive"
});

// Returns:
// - Risk assessment scoring
// - Market opportunity analysis  
// - Competitive landscape
// - Strategic recommendations

Clinical Trials Search

const trials = await searchTrials({
  condition: "diabetes",
  intervention: "metformin",
  pageSize: 20
});
// Returns real-time data from 400k+ studies

FDA Drug Safety Analysis

const safety = await drugSafetyProfile({
  drugName: "metformin",
  includeTrials: true,
  includeFDA: true
});
// Returns comprehensive safety analysis
