Ema Medicines MCP server

@pipeworx/ema-medicines

European Medicines Agency medicines register — every medicine authorised for the EU market through the centralised procedure, plus the committee opinions still awaiting a European Commission decision — the EMA's herbal-medicine inventory (plant/botanical substances the Committee on Herbal Medicinal Products (HMPC) has assessed, with links to each herb's EU herbal monograph and assessment-report PDFs) — and seven sibling XLSX reports from the same download-medicine-data page: shortages, direct healthcare professional communications (DHPC), referrals, periodic safety update single assessments (PSUSA), orphan designations, paediatric investigation plans, and post-authorisation procedures.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1576+ live data sources.
