The DentalRx Clinical connector brings DentalRx into the AI assistant you already use. Ask Claude about a patient’s medication, a prescribing dose or a practice guideline, and it reads the answer from DentalRx instead of relying on memory. You sign in with your DentalRx account. There is no API key to create and nothing to install.

The connector is read-only. It looks things up in DentalRx and never changes anything in your account.

What You Can Ask

Once DentalRx is connected, ask in plain language. A few examples:

• A patient’s medication: “My patient takes Eliquis. What should I know before an extraction?”

• A medication list: “Check for interactions. The patient takes warfarin and sertraline, and I plan to prescribe ibuprofen and amoxicillin.”

• A prescribing dose: “What does the DentalRx monograph say about amoxicillin dosing for a child?”

• A guideline or an emergency: “What does DentalRx recommend for endocarditis prophylaxis?”

• Running your practice: “Find the DentalRx guides on Google Business Profile.”

Your assistant decides when to use DentalRx. To be sure it does, say “use DentalRx” in your question.

Before You Start

You need two things:

• A DentalRx account. Accounts are free. If you do not have one yet, sign up for DentalRx first.

• An AI assistant that supports connectors built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), such as Claude.

There is no API key to create and no software to install.

Connect DentalRx to Claude

Connecting takes a minute or two:

1. In Claude, open Customize > Connectors.

2. Find DentalRx Clinical in the list of connectors and click Connect.

   • If it is not listed, click Add, choose the option to add a custom connector, name it DentalRx and paste this address: https://mcp.dentalrx.ca/mcp

3. A DentalRx sign-in page opens in your browser. Sign in with the email and password, Google or Apple login you use in the DentalRx app.

4. Check that the page names the app you are connecting, then click Allow access.

5. Back in Claude, start a chat and ask: “Who am I signed in to DentalRx as?” Claude should answer with your name, profession and region.

On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds the connector once under Organization settings > Connectors. After that, each person connects and signs in with their own DentalRx account.

Connect Another AI Assistant

DentalRx works with any assistant that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in. Add a new remote (HTTP) MCP server in your assistant’s settings and give it this address:

https://mcp.dentalrx.ca/mcp

The assistant then opens the same DentalRx sign-in page described above. In Claude Code, for example, run claude mcp add --transport http dentalrx https://mcp.dentalrx.ca/mcp and then /mcp to sign in.

What the Connector Can Do

The connector gives your assistant 11 tools. Every one of them only reads.

• search finds drugs, prescribing monographs and practice guidelines by name. It handles typos and brand names.

• search_drugs returns quick-reference cards for the drugs that best match a name: brand names, class, dental interactions and dental pearls.

• get_drug opens one drug card.

• list_monographs lists every dental prescribing monograph, by category.

• get_monograph opens one monograph: indications with doses, contraindications, interactions, pregnancy and lactation, and references.

• list_guidelines lists every practice guideline, with emergencies first.

• get_guideline opens one guideline, in full or as a summary.

• check_interactions checks a medication list for interactions, as the DentalRx app reports them.

• list_business_guides lists the business guides for dental practices, by category or by search words.

• get_business_guide opens one business guide in full.

• whoami shows the DentalRx account you are signed in as: name, profession, region and registered clinics.

Good to Know

• The content is DentalRx’s own. The connector serves the same published drug cards, monographs and guidelines as the app, as written.

• The interaction check is clear about its limits. It lists what it checked and what it could not check, and it never calls a combination safe. A drug is checked only when its name matches exactly one drug in DentalRx.

• Business guides follow the app’s rule. An account with a registered clinic opens every guide. Without one, two sample guides open and the rest show a description.

Sign-In and Security

This section is for IT administrators and anyone who wants to know how the connection works.

How Your Account Is Protected

• You sign in on a DentalRx page in your own browser. Your password goes straight to the DentalRx account service, the same one the app uses. Your assistant never receives it.

• The connector can only read. It has no tools that create, change or delete anything, and its one permission does not allow it.

• Access tokens are encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and work only with this server’s address.

• If a DentalRx account is blocked or deleted, or its password changes, its connections stop working within an hour.

• The connector keeps no database of its own. It stores no passwords, no tokens and no questions.

What Data Is Shared

The connector passes along only what it needs to answer a question:

• From your assistant to DentalRx: only what a tool needs to do its job, such as a search term, a list of drug names or the page to open. DentalRx does not receive the rest of your conversation.

• From DentalRx to your assistant: the published DentalRx content you asked for. If the assistant asks who is signed in, it also receives your name, profession, region, registered clinics and DentalRx account ID.

• What DentalRx records: which tool was called, when, and whether it worked. A sign-in is recorded with the account and the name of the app that connected. The connector does not record search terms, drug names or results. As with any web service, standard request logs such as time and IP address also exist.

Do not include patient names or other identifying details in your questions. DentalRx only needs drug names and clinical terms to answer.

Your assistant’s provider handles your conversations under its own terms and privacy policy. For how DentalRx handles your account information, see our Privacy Policy.

Disconnect DentalRx

You can disconnect at any time:

• In Claude, open Customize > Connectors, select DentalRx Clinical and disconnect it. Other assistants have a similar setting.

• To end every connection on your account at once, change your DentalRx password. Connected apps stop working within an hour and have to sign in again.

DentalRx does not keep a list of the apps you have connected, so you disconnect from the assistant’s side.

Troubleshooting

If something does not work, check these first:

• The sign-in page says “This link does not work.” The request from your assistant was incomplete or out of date. Go back to your assistant and connect to DentalRx again.

• You are asked to sign in again. This happens after 60 days without use, after one year, or after a password change.

• A drug comes back as “not checked.” The name matched more than one drug, or none exactly. Ask again with one of the names the result suggests.

• A business guide shows only a description. Your account has no registered clinic. Register your clinic in the DentalRx app to open every guide.

• Your assistant answers without using DentalRx. Check that the connector is switched on for the chat, and say “use DentalRx” in your question.

Clinical Use

DentalRx supports your clinical judgment. It does not replace it, the current product monograph or the patient’s history. AI assistants can misread or misquote their sources, so check anything that matters against DentalRx itself before you act on it.
