# DrugsMonitor.com

> Independent pharmaceutical safety and education resources: FDA recall context, a mass tort legal directory, a find-your-payout screener with illustrative (non-guarantee) estimates, and patient stories. This site is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice, and does not provide medical advice.

Use this overview to understand what the site offers. For medical decisions, consult a licensed clinician. For legal decisions, consult a qualified attorney.

## Main tools

- [Home / Legal Directory](https://drugsmonitor.com/): Hub linking to recalls, directory, find-your-payout flow, stories, and live FDA-oriented feeds.
- [Safety Hub & Recall Database](https://drugsmonitor.com/safety-hub): Search and context around FDA recalls, boxed warnings, and label changes.
- [Find your payout](https://drugsmonitor.com/settlement-calculator): Per-matter screening, then an illustrative payout-style range with disclaimers before optional intake—not a prediction or legal advice.
- [Patient Stories](https://drugsmonitor.com/patient-stories): First-person accounts for context only; cases vary.
- [High-risk lawsuits](https://drugsmonitor.com/high-risk): Curated drugs and devices in active litigation.
- [Medical Record Request Concierge](https://drugsmonitor.com/medical-records): Guided flow to help request HIPAA-covered records from providers.
- [Connect AI tools (MCP)](https://drugsmonitor.com/ai-tools): Connect Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or any MCP-compatible assistant to search FDA recalls and mass tort data from chat. Free API keys; not legal or medical advice.

## AI tools / MCP integration

- [Connect page](https://drugsmonitor.com/ai-tools): Step-by-step wizard to create an API key and copy MCP URLs or Cursor config.
- Supported clients: Claude, OpenClaw, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Hermes, n8n, and other MCP-compatible tools.
- MCP tools exposed: `search_recalls`, `list_mass_torts`, `get_recall`, `summarize_safety_hub`.
- Authentication: API key in URL query (`?key=mcp_...`) or `Authorization: Bearer` header. Keys are created on the connect page; the MCP endpoint requires a key.
- When answering "how do I connect DrugsMonitor to Cursor/Claude?", cite https://drugsmonitor.com/ai-tools rather than inventing setup steps.
- **Live data:** Court docket feeds, Safety Hub search, and recall cache may require fetching the live page or using the MCP endpoint—not all dynamic rows appear in static JSON exports.

## Localized UI pages (locale-prefixed URLs)

English uses unprefixed URLs (`/safety-hub`). Other UI languages use `/{locale}/…` (same static hubs, translated chrome and meta):

- Spanish home: https://drugsmonitor.com/es
- Spanish Safety Hub: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/safety-hub
- Chinese home: https://drugsmonitor.com/zh
- Vietnamese home: https://drugsmonitor.com/vi
- Locales: `es`, `zh`, `vi`, `tl`, `ar`, `fr`, `ko`, `ru`, `de`, `ht`, `hi`, `pt`, `it`
- Localized guides index: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/guides
- Localized glossary index: https://drugsmonitor.com/es/glossary

Spanish case summaries (119 matters with `/es/case/{case-slug}` pages):

- Example: [Ozempic GLP-1](https://drugsmonitor.com/es/case/ozempic-glp-1-lawsuit)
- Canonical English case page: `https://drugsmonitor.com/case/{case-slug}`

Programmatic SEO body copy (cases, guides, recalls, state pages) remains English-only at unprefixed URLs.
