Data by Open Targets
Open Targets Platform: target-disease associations with evidence scores, approved drugs and clinical candidates per disease or target, and target tractability and safety. ID links: start with searchEntities (name to Ensembl/EFO/MONDO/ChEMBL ID); drug ChEMBL IDs are shared with chembl-mcp; Ensembl targets bridge to chembl-mcp searchTargets via gene symbol or UniProt ID; NCT IDs feed clinicaltrials-mcp getStudyDetails; PMIDs feed pubmed-mcp fetchPubmedArticles; drug names feed rxnorm-mcp findDrugByName.

Tools (7)
- getTargetAssociatedDiseasesRank the diseases associated with a target (gene) by Open Targets association score (0-1), with the score broken down per evidence type. Pass diseaseIds to score specific target-disease pairs. Target IDs are Ensembl; use the symbol with chembl-mcp searchTargets for ChEMBL bioactivity data.Free
- getTargetProfileTarget druggability and safety profile from Open Targets: tractability by modality (small molecule, antibody, PROTAC, other), known safety liabilities with affected tissues and sources, target class, UniProt ID, essentiality, loss-of-function constraint and high-quality chemical probes. Pass the symbol or uniprotId to chembl-mcp searchTargets to get the ChEMBL target ID for bioactivity data.Free
- getDiseaseAssociatedTargetsRank the targets (genes) associated with a disease by Open Targets association score (0-1), with the score broken down per evidence type. Pass targetIds to score specific target-disease pairs. Target IDs are Ensembl; use the symbol with chembl-mcp searchTargets for ChEMBL bioactivity data.Free
- getDrugProfileDrug profile from Open Targets by ChEMBL ID: modality, highest clinical stage, mechanisms of action with Ensembl target IDs, withdrawal/black-box warnings, and indications ranked by stage with disease IDs. Bridges a ChEMBL drug (from chembl-mcp or searchEntities) to Ensembl targets and EFO/MONDO diseases; trade names feed rxnorm-mcp findDrugByName.Free
- searchEntitiesResolve a gene/protein, disease or drug name (brand names and synonyms included) to Open Targets IDs: Ensembl gene IDs for targets, EFO/MONDO IDs for diseases, ChEMBL IDs for drugs. Use this first; the IDs feed every other Open Targets tool, drug ChEMBL IDs also work in chembl-mcp (getMechanisms, getDrugIndications, getBioactivities, getMolecules). Target IDs here are Ensembl, not ChEMBL target IDs: use the symbol with chembl-mcp searchTargets for those.Free
- getTargetDiseaseEvidenceExplain why a target is associated with a disease: the direct association score, then the top evidence rows from each contributing datasource (GWAS credible sets, ClinVar/EVA, somatic mutation catalogs, clinical precedence with drug and NCT ID, literature mining with PMIDs...). Use after getTargetAssociatedDiseases or getDiseaseAssociatedTargets. PMIDs feed pubmed-mcp fetchPubmedArticles, NCT IDs feed clinicaltrials-mcp getStudyDetails, drug ChEMBL IDs feed chembl-mcp.Free
- getKnownDrugsList approved drugs and clinical candidates for a disease or for a target (pass exactly one of diseaseId/targetId), with the highest clinical stage reached for that disease/target, mechanism of action, trial status counts and NCT IDs (for clinicaltrials-mcp getStudyDetails). Drug IDs are ChEMBL IDs, usable in chembl-mcp; drug names feed rxnorm-mcp findDrugByName. Ranked by stage; stageCounts summarises the full pipeline before the limit.Free
