At a glance

Search ChEMBL database for molecule information by name to retrieve bioactivity data and chemical structures.

  • Works in 2 steps: MCP Server Definition → ChEMBL Molecule Search Workflow
  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Chembl Molecule Search is an agent skill from InternScience/scp. Search ChEMBL database for molecule information by name to retrieve bioactivity data and chemical structures.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Drug discovery and cheminformatics. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Drug discovery and cheminformatics

Example prompts

  • “/chembl-molecule-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. MCP Server Definition
  2. ChEMBL Molecule Search Workflow

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cea5398. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Chembl Molecule Search loads about 757 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 52 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~757

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

2. ChEMBL Molecule Search Workflow

Implementation:

python
## Initialize client
client = OrigeneClient(
    "https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/4/Origene-ChEMBL",
    "<your-api-key>"
)

if not await client.connect():
    print("connection failed")
    exit()

## Search for molecule by name
result = await client.session.call_tool(
    "get_molecule_by_name",
    arguments={
        "molecule_name": "aspirin"
    }
)

result_data = client.parse_result(result)
print(result_data)

await client.disconnect()
