Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

compare
compare_prices
Compare FineRx prices for one package (an 11-digit NDC + quantity). Returns the offer matrix: for each pharmacy chain x savings program, the observed price and the date it was observed (observedAt). The cheapest offer is flagged isLowest. Get an ``ndc`` from get_drug's packages or search flow.
dataset
get_dataset_info
Get FineRx dataset coverage, freshness, and the attribution/disclaimer terms. Returns dataset counts (drugs, products, prices, chains, savings programs, pharmacy locations), the latest observation date, and the terms every consumer must honor (attribution + disclaimer).
drug
get_drug
Get a FineRx drug's details: coverage stats and its strength/form variants. ``slug`` comes from search_drugs. Returns overall stats (product/package/ chain/vendor counts, fromPrice, latest observation date) and the list of variants (strength x form) each with a fromPrice.
drugs
search_drugs
Search FineRx for drugs by name or localized alias. Returns candidate drugs with their slug (use it with get_drug), kind (generic/brand), and lowest observed public price (fromPrice). Use this first to resolve a drug name to a slug.
nearby
find_nearby_pharmacies
Find the nearest pharmacy locations to a US ZIP code, per chain. ``zip`` is a 5-digit US ZIP. Optional ``chains`` is a comma-separated list of chain codes (e.g. "walgreens,publix"); default is all chains. ``limit`` caps locations per chain. Coordinates are OpenStreetMap-sourced (ODbL).

FineRx — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FineRx do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_prices, find_nearby_pharmacies, get_dataset_info, get_drug, search_drugs. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is FineRx working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 414 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect FineRx?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does FineRx need an API key?
No. FineRx completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is FineRx?
It answers our handshake in 414 ms on average, which is faster than 31% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use FineRx?
The pypi package finerx-mcp was installed 137 times in the last week. Week over week that is +20%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
