The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) MCP AI Enabled API Server is a standalone server that allows AI models to interact with the PBS API to access important pharmaceutical data, enhancing healthcare workflows. It features robust error handling, varying transport support, and seamless integration with AI systems for efficient data retrieval and usage.
Overview
This project provides a standalone MCP server for accessing the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) API, allowing AI models to access programmatic information about medicines, pricing, and availability in Australia. The server supports HTTP, CLI, and stdio transport layers, with features such as error handling and LLM integration. Users need to be aware of API rate limits and should consider periodic data updates.
MCP Server Features
- Tools for querying PBS API endpoints
- Transport layers: stdio and HTTP/SSE
- Error handling for API rate limits and authentication
- LLM integration for AI interaction with PBS data
Usage
The PBS MCP server can run in stdio mode, HTTP mode with SSE support, or as a command-line tool. It supports integration with any MCP-compatible client, offering HTTP API endpoints, and command-line interface commands for various API interactions.
