FAQ from INDIAN MEDICINES (MCP SERVER)

What does the server do?

It provides a comprehensive API for searching, filtering, and analyzing Indian medicine data, including fuzzy name matching, composition analysis, and alternative suggestions with price savings.

What data does the server use?

The server loads a JSON file of medicines. The default path is /Users/siddharthbajpai/Downloads/MCP_SERVER/medicines.json. Each medicine record includes fields like Name, Manufacturer, Composition, MRP, Prescription requirement, and processed fields like Active_Ingredients and Price_Category.

How many API endpoints are available?

The server exposes 15 endpoints divided into search, filter, analysis, and utility categories. Endpoints include get_medicine_by_name, search_medicines, fuzzy_search_by_name, search_by_composition, filter_by_price_range, filter_by_manufacturer, filter_by_prescription_requirement, paginated_search, find_similar_medicines, analyze_composition, count_medicines_by_composition, categorize_medicines, and get_medicine_statistics.

What are the runtime requirements?

The server runs on Python 3.8+ and uses the FastMCP framework. Dependencies include difflib, re, collections, math, typing, and dataclasses. No authentication or special transport configuration is mentioned; it communicates via the MCP protocol.

What are the main limitations?

The server’s performance depends on the size of the JSON dataset. Fuzzy search uses a similarity threshold (default 0.6) to control result relevance, and pagination is limited by the page_size parameter. The data is local and not automatically updated.
