Model Context Protocol

The MCP is under active development and experimentation. All feedback is welcome in https://community.opentargets.org

The Open Targets Platform Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a purpose-built interface and instructions to access and interpret the data and analyses in the Open Targets Platform using AI.

MCP Servers are part of a standardised interface for AI agents to interact with data sources using the Model Context Protocol.

Ways to connect

• Remote Server: Connect directly to Open Targets hosted endpoint available in https://mcp.platform.opentargets.org/mcp

• Local Server: Run a local MCP server using uvx or Docker

More detailed information can be found in the MCP server github repository.

Claude provides a detailed tutorial on how to add the MCP as a connector.
