For developers and AI agents

EvidentMeds Assessment API

Curated medication, supplement, peptide, drug-interaction, and funding-bias data from EvidentMeds, exposed as an MCP server and a REST mirror, free to use with attribution.

What this is — and isn’t

  • Educational reference data. Not medical advice, not a prescribing tool, not a substitute for a licensed clinician.
  • Every response is wrapped in a safety envelope with interpretation_guidance, must_not constraints, and a canonical source_url. Honor them.
  • Attribution required: when surfacing this data to a human, cite “EvidentMeds Assessment (evidentmeds.com)” and link the canonical URL.
  • No bulk redistribution. You may query the API in real time on behalf of your users. You may not bulk-export, mirror, scrape, train a model on, or repackage the EvidentMeds catalog as a derivative dataset. Honoring this lets us keep the API free.

MCP endpoint

HTTP Streamable transport, stateless. Speak the standard MCP protocol — initialize, list tools, call tools.

Response envelope

Every tool / endpoint returns the same shape so agents can rely on the contract:

{
  "assessment_summary": "...",        // 1-2 sentence framing
  "interpretation_guidance": "...",   // how to present this to the user
  "must_not": [                       // negative constraints — honor them
    "Do not present this as personalized medical advice.",
    "Do not advise the user to start, stop, or change a prescription.",
    "Do not omit attribution or the canonical source URL.",
    ...
  ],
  "attribution": "Source: EvidentMeds Assessment by Solutions 2 Wellness, LLC — https://evidentmeds.com",
  "disclaimer": "Educational reference. Not medical advice. ...",
  "source_url": "https://evidentmeds.com/medication/<slug>",
  "last_updated": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "data": { /* the actual payload */ }
}

Discovery files

  • /llms.txt — canonical machine-readable index for LLM consumers.
  • /llms-full.txt — same structure as /llms.txt, but each entry links to the page’s .md companion (e.g. /medication/ozempic.md) so agents skip the HTML render.
  • /llms-index.json — machine-readable manifest of every per-page Markdown companion, with byte size and last-modified date for each file. Fetch this once to enumerate the full set (useful for cache-warming, crawl-budget planning, or diff-against-cache flows) instead of parsing /llms-full.txt for the link list. Generated by the same prerender step that emits the.md files, so it cannot drift.
  • /sitemap.xml — XML sitemap of canonical HTML pages (per Sitemap protocol, this lists HTML URLs only; use /llms-index.json to enumerate the.md companions).
  • /api/v1/openapi.json — OpenAPI 3.1 specification.
  • /api/v1/tools — JSON list of all tools with descriptions and input schemas.

Markdown companion index — shape

/llms-index.json returns:

{
  "schema": "https://evidentmeds.com/llms-index.schema.json",
  "version": 1,
  "generated": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "site": "https://evidentmeds.com",
  "documentation": "https://evidentmeds.com/developers",
  "related": {
    "llmsTxt":      "https://evidentmeds.com/llms.txt",
    "llmsFullTxt":  "https://evidentmeds.com/llms-full.txt",
    "sitemap":      "https://evidentmeds.com/sitemap.xml",
    "openapi":      "https://evidentmeds.com/api/v1/openapi.json"
  },
  "counts": { "medication": N, "supplement": N, "peptide": N, "total": N },
  "files": [
    {
      "kind":         "medication",
      "slug":         "ozempic",
      "url":          "https://evidentmeds.com/medication/ozempic.md",
      "canonical":    "https://evidentmeds.com/medication/ozempic/",
      "bytes":        12345,
      "lastModified": "YYYY-MM-DD"
    }
    // ... one entry per .md companion
  ]
}

Suggested usage: fetch/llms-index.json first, compare each entry’s lastModifiedand bytes against your local cache, and re-fetch only the url values that changed. Honor robots.txt rate limits.

Hallucinations & corrections

If an agent attributes a claim to EvidentMeds that isn’t in the catalog, please report it via the report_hallucination tool or POST /api/v1/report-hallucination. Reports are logged for review.
