Open targets official remote mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Open Targets Official Remote directly. Drug target discovery data.

What Open Targets Official Remote does

This package is the official Open Targets Platform MCP server implementation that enables AI assistants to interact with the Open Targets Platform GraphQL API, a comprehensive resource for target-disease associations and drug discovery data.

Key capabilities

  • 🔍 Category-Based Schema Access: Fetch and explore focused subsets of the Open Targets Platform GraphQL schema using category-based subschemas
  • 🚀 Pre-fetched Schema Optimization: The GraphQL schema is pre-fetched and cached at server startup to ensure immediate availability for tools
  • 📊 Query Execution: Execute custom GraphQL queries against the Open Targets Platform API
  • ⚡ Batch Query Processing: Execute the same query multiple times with different parameters efficiently
  • 🔎 Entity Search: Search for entities across multiple types (targets, diseases, drugs, variants, studies)
  • 🛠️ CLI Tools: Easy-to-use command-line interface for starting the server
  • 🎯 jq Filtering (Optional): Server-side JSON processing using jq to reduce token consumption and improve performance. See jq Filtering for details

Practical notes

  • Written in Python.
