No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/purple_book_product_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search FDA Purple Book biologic products by proper/proprietary name, applicant, reference product, or BLA. Returns licensure and product-level attributes. A licensed biosimilar is not necessarily launched, available, interchangeable, or substitutable under state law. Purple Book covers ONLY licensed biologics (BLAs) — a small-molecule drug (most drug names) will not be here; a zero-match response says so and points to orange_book_product_search instead of a bare empty result.
