MCP server exposing 7 tools for opentargets.
This URL is a JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint over HTTP. Issue POST requests with a JSON-RPC body. Browsers and search crawlers land here on GET.

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}target — "Drug target profile for [gene]" / "is [gene] a druggable target" / "[gene] target info" / "target ID [ENSG...]" — fetch a drug-target profile (Open Targets uses Ensembl gene IDs as target identifiers). Returns approved symbol, name, biotype, protein IDs, pathways, synonyms. Use for target characterization in drug discovery.disease — "Disease profile for [EFO_N]" / "look up disease [ID]" — fetch a disease profile from Open Targets by EFO (Experimental Factor Ontology) ID. Returns name, description, therapeutic areas, ontology cross-refs. Pair with `disease_associations` to find drug targets for the disease.drug — "Drug info for [ChEMBL ID]" / "look up [drug] target info" / "[CHEMBL...] mechanism" — fetch a drug profile from Open Targets by ChEMBL ID. Returns name, mechanisms of action, indications, target genes, trade names, clinical-trial phase. Use for drug research, mechanism queries.search — "Find [disease / drug / gene target]" / "Open Targets lookup for [name]" / "what's the Open Targets ID for [X]" — text search across diseases, drug targets, and drugs in the Open Targets Platform (the leading drug-discovery knowledge graph). Returns ranked matches with their canonical IDs (ENSG... for targets, EFO_... for diseases, CHEMBL... for drugs). Use first to find IDs, then call target/disease/drug for details.target_associations — "What diseases is [gene] involved in" / "diseases associated with [target]" / "what does [gene] cause" — top disease associations for a drug target (Ensembl gene ID), scored by integrated Open Targets evidence (genetics, expression, animal models, drugs, literature, pathways). Use to triage what diseases a candidate target might address.disease_associations — "Best drug targets for [disease]" / "what genes are linked to [condition]" / "druggable targets in [disease]" — top drug-target candidates for a disease (EFO ID), scored by integrated evidence. Use for target discovery in a therapeutic area.target_known_drugs — "What drugs target [gene]" / "approved drugs against [target]" / "clinical-trial drugs for [gene]" — drugs that have been clinically tested or approved against a drug target (Ensembl gene ID). Returns drug names, mechanisms, indications, clinical trial phases. Use for competitive landscape / drug-repositioning queries.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
