About ChEMBL-MCP-Server

ChEMBL-MCP-Server wraps the chembl_webresource_client package with FastMCP, giving researchers and chemistry applications access to the ChEMBL database. It supports asynchronous calls over HTTP or stdio.

Key features

  1. 01ChEMBL database API access
  2. 02Asynchronous API calls
  3. 03Error handling and timeouts
  4. 04HTTP and stdio transports

Use cases

  1. 01Query activity, assay, target, and molecule data
  2. 02Retrieve drug data
  3. 03Canonicalize SMILES and convert to InChI
  4. 04Generate SVG images from SMILES

MCP support

It is an MCP server that exposes ChEMBL entity queries and chemical tool APIs to MCP clients. It supports HTTP and stdio transports.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
