Chembl

Name: Chembl
Author: pipeworx-io

by pipeworx-iocommunityv0.1.0

MCP server for querying the ChEMBL drug-discovery database. It provides search and record-retrieval access for molecules, targets, mechanisms of action, bioactivity data, and drug indications.

From the registry: ChEMBL MCP — drug discovery database (EBI).

Install & configure

Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `chembl` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Canonical MCP server config (HTTP transport):
- url: `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/chembl/mcp`

Note: README provides an HTTP MCP endpoint for the Chembl server. It also mentions an alternative full Pipeworx gateway URL (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp) for access to many data sources, but the server-specific endpoint is the canonical config for Chembl.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
