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 who work with biopharma, clinical trials and fintech and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
