\n\n---\n\n## Tools\n\nTen tools for querying PubChem's chemical information database:\n\n| Tool Name | Description |\n|:----------|:------------|\n| `pubchem_search_compounds` | Search for compounds by name, SMILES, InChIKey, formula, substructure, superstructure, or 2D similarity. |\n| `pubchem_get_compound_details` | Get physicochemical properties, descriptions, synonyms, drug-likeness, and classification for compounds by CID. |\n| `pubchem_get_compound_image` | Fetch a 2D structure diagram (PNG) for a compound by CID. |\n| `pubchem_get_compound_3d_structure` | Fetch a 3D conformer (atomic coordinates and bonds) for a compound by CID, as parsed JSON or raw SDF. |\n| `pubchem_get_compound_xrefs` | Get external database cross-references (PubMed, patents, genes, proteins, etc.). |\n| `pubchem_get_compound_safety` | Get GHS hazard classification and safety data for one or more compounds by CID (batch). |\n| `pubchem_get_bioactivity` | Get a compound's bioactivity profile: assay results, targets, and activity values; filter by outcome or molecular target. |\n| `pubchem_get_compound_interactions` | Get drug-drug, drug-food, and chemical-target interactions for a compound by CID. |\n| `pubchem_search_assays` | Find bioassays by biological target (gene symbol, protein, Gene ID, UniProt accession). |\n| `pubchem_get_summary` | Get summaries for PubChem entities: assays, genes, proteins, taxonomy. |\n\n### `pubchem_search_compounds`\n\nSearch PubChem for chemical compounds across five search modes.\n\n- **Identifier lookup** — resolve compound names, SMILES, or InChIKeys to CIDs (batch up to 25)\n- **Formula search** — find compounds by molecular formula in Hill notation\n- **Substructure/superstructure** — find compounds containing or contained within a query structure\n- **2D similarity** — find structurally similar compounds by Tanimoto similarity (configurable threshold)\n- Optionally hydrate results with properties to avoid a follow-up details call\n\n---\n\n### `pubchem_get_compound_details`\n\nGet detailed compound information by CID.\n\n- Batches up to 100 CIDs in a single request\n- 27 available properties: molecular weight, SMILES, InChIKey, XLogP, TPSA, complexity, stereo counts, and more\n- Optionally includes textual descriptions (pharmacology, mechanism, therapeutic use) from PUG View\n- Optionally includes all known synonyms (trade names, systematic names, registry numbers)\n- Optionally computes drug-likeness assessment (Lipinski Rule of Five + Veber rules) from fetched properties\n- Optionally fetches pharmacological classification (FDA classes, mechanisms of action, MeSH classes, ATC codes)\n\n---\n\n### `pubchem_get_bioactivity`\n\nGet a compound's bioactivity profile from PubChem BioAssay.\n\n- Returns assay outcomes (Active/Inactive/Inconclusive), target info (protein accessions, NCBI Gene IDs), and quantitative values (IC50, EC50, Ki)\n- Filter by outcome and/or a specific molecular target (NCBI Gene ID or protein accession)\n- Caps at 100 results per request (well-studied compounds may have thousands)\n\n---\n\n### `pubchem_get_summary`\n\nGet descriptive summaries for four PubChem entity types.\n\n- Assays (AID), genes (Gene ID), proteins (UniProt accession), taxonomy (Tax ID)\n- Up to 10 entities per call\n- Type-specific field extraction for clean, structured output\n\n---\n\n### `pubchem_get_compound_interactions`\n\nGet a compound's interaction data by CID.\n\n- Drug-drug interactions (DrugBank), drug-food interactions, and chemical-target binding/activity (BindingDB, ChEMBL, and others)\n- Select which interaction kinds to fetch and cap entries per kind\n- Each entry carries its originating source — coverage is richest for approved drugs\n\n---\n\n### `pubchem_get_compound_3d_structure`\n\nGet a compound's default 3D conformer by CID.\n\n- `format=\"json\"` returns parsed atoms (element + x/y/z) and bonds for direct reasoning; `format=\"sdf\"` returns raw V2000 SDF for passthrough to docking or rendering\n- Optionally lists alternate conformer IDs\n- Returns a typed not-found when PubChem has no computed 3D coordinates (large molecules, mixtures, some salts)\n\n## Resources\n\nCompound and assay records are also exposed as URI-templated MCP resources, backed by the same client methods as the tools:\n\n| URI Template | Returns |\n|:-------------|:--------|\n| `pubchem://compound/{cid}` | Core physicochemical properties (JSON). |\n| `pubchem://compound/{cid}/safety` | GHS hazard classification (JSON). |\n| `pubchem://compound/{cid}/image` | 2D structure diagram (PNG). |\n| `pubchem://compound/{cid}/xrefs` | External cross-references (JSON). |\n| `pubchem://compound/{cid}/bioactivity` | Bioassay activity profile (JSON). |\n| `pubchem://assay/{aid}` | BioAssay summary (JSON). |\n\n## Features\n\nBuilt on [`@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core`](https://github.com/cyanheads/mcp-ts-core):\n\n- Declarative tool definitions — single file per tool, framework handles registration and validation\n- Unified error handling across all tools\n- Pluggable auth (`none`, `jwt`, `oauth`)\n- Swappable storage backends: `in-memory`, `filesystem`, `Supabase`, `Cloudflare KV/R2/D1`\n- Structured logging with optional OpenTelemetry tracing\n- Runs locally (stdio/HTTP) or containerized via Docker\n\nPubChem-specific:\n\n- Rate-limited client for PUG REST and PUG View APIs (5 req/s with automatic queuing)\n- Retry with exponential backoff on 5xx errors and network failures\n- All tools are read-only and idempotent — no API keys required\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Public Hosted Instance\n\nA public instance is available at `https://pubchem.caseyjhand.com/mcp` — no installation required.
