Biopharma Catalyst MCP

A forensic biopharma research MCP server - pulls catalyst-grade signals from 6 free, authoritative sources (ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, SEC EDGAR, SEC XBRL companyfacts, openFDA, Yahoo Finance) and hands them to your LLM. Includes a server-side aggregator that runs the full forensic workflow in one tool call and returns a deterministic verdict. Its 10 documented tools cluster into read & search, audit.

People connecting finance tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Biopharma Catalyst MCP

before you install - you'll need

SEC_USER_AGENT

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add yesc97-biopharma-catalyst-mcp -- npx -y biopharma-catalyst-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yesc97-biopharma-catalyst-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "biopharma-catalyst-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
