```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "medical-research": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/medical-research-mcp-suite/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

#### 2. Web API Server
```bash
npm run web
# Visit http://localhost:3000
```

#### 3. Test the System
```bash
npm test
./test-mcp.sh
```

## 📊 API Examples

### Comprehensive Drug Analysis (🔥 **The Magic!**)
```typescript
// 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
```typescript
const trials = await searchTrials({
  condition: "diabetes",
  intervention: "metformin",
  pageSize: 20
});
// Returns real-time data from 400k+ studies
```

### FDA Drug Safety Analysis
```typescript
const safety = await drugSafetyProfile({
  drugName: "metformin",
  includeTrials: true,
  includeFDA: true
});
// Returns comprehensive safety analysis
```
