Ask what phase a trial is in, whether the FDA has flagged a safety signal, what a drug's label warns about, or whether Medicare will pay for it — and get the answer with the record it came from. Your agent reads the primary sources directly, so nothing depends on what it happened to memorise during training.

Setup
Choose one of these options:
Open claude.ai/customize/connectors, click Add custom connector, name it Pipeworx Pharma and paste this URL. Leave the OAuth client ID and secret blank — the connector registers itself.
https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp?vertical=pharmaThen click Connect and sign in with GitHub. That step is free and takes you from 50 calls a day to 200 — same connection either way, and you can skip it and sign in later. In a new chat, open the tools menu and enable the connector.
Custom connectors need a paid Claude plan — that is an Anthropic gate, not a Pipeworx one.

What data sources are included in PharmaPulse?
ClinicalTrials.gov (active and completed trials by phase, sponsor, condition), OpenFDA (adverse events, drug approvals, label data), RxNorm (drug normalization, ingredient mapping), DailyMed (structured labels), SEC EDGAR (pharma company filings), and USPTO (patents and trademarks). Covers competitive intelligence, safety analysis, and clinical pipeline tracking.
Can I get a complete safety profile for a drug from one call?
Yes — the drug_safety_profile prompt and the pharma_drug_profile _intel tool fan out across RxNorm, OpenFDA adverse events, ClinicalTrials, and DailyMed in parallel. A query like "What are the side effects of Ozempic?" returns adverse event counts (54k+ reports for semaglutide), interaction warnings, and label sections in one round trip.
How do I track Phase 3 trials or competitive pipelines for a condition?
ClinicalTrials.gov tools let an agent filter trials by phase, status (recruiting, active, completed), condition, sponsor, and intervention type. Combine with EDGAR filings on the sponsor companies and USPTO patent search on the molecule for a full competitive-intelligence brief.
Is the drug data live or cached?
ClinicalTrials.gov updates are typically reflected within hours. OpenFDA adverse events are refreshed quarterly by FDA, with the most recent quarter usually 2–3 months behind. RxNorm releases monthly. Every response includes _meta.cache.fresh_until so agents can decide whether to refetch.
