KEGG MCP Connector for Claude

Connect your AI agent to the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) database, the gold standard for bioinformatics and systems biology. This server enables deep exploration of biological pathways, genomes, and chemical substances through natural language.

What you can do

• Genomic Exploration — Retrieve detailed information about genes, proteins, and organisms using kegg_get and kegg_list.
• Pathway Analysis — Map genes to metabolic or signaling pathways and visualize biological systems using kegg_link.
• Chemical & Drug Data — Search for compounds, glycans, and drugs by keyword, formula, or mass using kegg_find.
• Drug Interactions — Identify adverse drug-drug interactions (DDI) specifically for clinical and pharmacological research via kegg_ddi.
• Identifier Conversion — Seamlessly convert between KEGG IDs and outside databases like NCBI, UniProt, and PubChem using kegg_conv.

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Configure your access credentials (if required by your proxy)
3. Start querying biological data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

• Bioinformatics Researchers — automate the retrieval of gene sequences and pathway maps without manual REST calls.
• Pharmacologists — quickly check drug-drug interactions and chemical properties during drug discovery workflows.
• Data Scientists — integrate high-quality biological metadata into analysis pipelines directly from the chat interface.
