What This Skill Does

Connects to 14+ biomedical databases, including ChEMBL, PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, OpenTargets, and OpenFDA, through a single MCP endpoint. Covers drug repurposing, target discovery, clinical trial searches, literature review, and adverse event assessment. Most databases require no authentication.

Querying ChEMBL, PubMed, OpenTargets, ClinicalTrials.gov, and 10+ other databases separately requires learning different APIs and data formats; this skill routes all of them through one endpoint.

When to use it

  • Finding approved and investigational drugs for a rare disease
  • Identifying therapeutic targets linked to a condition, ranked by evidence score
  • Checking FDA adverse event reports for a specific drug
  • Searching PubMed for gene-disease or drug-mechanism literature
  • Locating actively recruiting clinical trials for a condition

Example Workflow

Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

INPUT

User asks: find drug repurposing candidates for myasthenia gravis

AGENT
  1. 1Query OpenTargets to find the disease ID and top therapeutic targets ranked by evidence score
  2. 2Search ChEMBL for drugs targeting those genes, filtered by clinical development phase
  3. 3Check ClinicalTrials.gov for actively recruiting trials related to the disease
  4. 4Pull OpenFDA adverse event reports for candidate drugs to identify safety signals
  5. 5Search PubMed for recent literature supporting or challenging the repurposing hypothesis
OUTPUT

A ranked list of drug candidates with target evidence scores, trial recruitment status, and safety summaries
