# Cortellis MCP Server
<!-- Project Status -->
[](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[](https://pypi.org/project/cortellis-mcp/)
[](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
[](CONTRIBUTING.md)
An MCP server enabling AI assistants to search and analyze pharmaceutical data through Cortellis. Perfect for competitive intelligence and pharmaceutical market research.
## Features
- 🔍 **Drug Search**: Search by indication, phase, company, and development status
- 🧬 **Ontology Exploration**: Navigate standardized medical terminology and drug classifications
- 🛠 **Developer-Friendly**: Clear documentation and easy integration with AI assistants
- 🔐 **Secure Authentication**: Base64 token-based authentication for API access
## Quick Start
### Installation
```bash
# Using pip
pip install cortellis-mcp
# Or for development
git clone https://github.com/uh-joan/mcp-cortellis.git
cd mcp-cortellis
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Unix/macOS
pip install -e .
```
### Authentication Setup
The server uses a base64-encoded authentication token that combines your Cortellis username and password in the format `username:password`. This token must be provided in the `CORTELLIS_AUTH` environment variable.
To generate your token:
```bash
# On Unix/macOS
echo -n "your_username:your_password" | base64
# On Windows PowerShell
[Convert]::ToBase64String([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes("your_username:your_password"))
```
Set up your environment:
1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`
2. Replace `your_base64_token` with your generated token:
```bash
# In .env file
CORTELLIS_AUTH=your_base64_token # e.g., dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=
MCP_WEBSOCKET=true
MCP_PORT=8765
```
### IDE Integration
```json
{
"mcps": {
"cortellis": {
"command": ["python"],
"args": ["-m", "cortellis_mcp"],
"env": {
"CORTELLIS_AUTH": "your_base64_token",
"MCP_WEBSOCKET": "true",
"MCP_PORT": "8765"
}
}
}
}
```
## Usage
### Development Status Codes
- `DR`: Discovery/Preclinical
- `C1`: Phase 1 Clinical
- `C2`: Phase 2 Clinical
- `C3`: Phase 3 Clinical
- `PR`: Pre-registration
- `R`: Registered
- `L`: Launched
- `DX`: Discontinued
- `W`: Withdrawn
### Example Queries
- "Search for drugs targeting obesity in phase 3"
- "Find all launched drugs by Novo Nordisk"
- "Explore ontology terms related to glucagon"
### Python API
```python
from cortellis_mcp import search_drugs, explore_ontology
# Search for Phase 3 obesity drugs
results = search_drugs(
indication="obesity",
phase="C3"
)
# Explore ontology terms
terms = explore_ontology(
category="indication",
term="diabetes"
)
```
