What it does

Patsnap Biological Modality is an agent skill from patsnap/mcp. Biological sequence and modality intelligence via Patsnap MCP.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `README.md` and `package.json`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Intellectual property and MCP servers. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: MCP server for 200M+ patents, scientific literature, chemistry and pharma records. Search prior art and R&D intelligence powered by PatSnap's proprietary databases via Claude… The licence is Apache-2.0.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7a4b429. 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 json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- connect.patsnap.com
Also links to:
- open.patsnap.com
- eureka.patsnap.com
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

Patsnap Biological Modality loads about 771 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~771

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.

Patsnap Biology Modality

This skill connects your AI agent to Patsnap's Biology Modality MCP server — providing professional-grade biological sequence and modality analysis capabilities.

With this skill, your agent can navigate the world of large molecules, from sequence-based patent searching to antibody-antigen interaction discovery and multi-omics data retrieval.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the Patsnap Biology Modality MCP server to be configured in your environment:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biology_modality": {
      "url": "https://connect.patsnap.com/06e741/logic-mcp?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY",
      "type": "streamableHttp"
    }
  }
}

Get your API key at open.patsnap.com.

For the full list of available tools and input parameters, refer to the official MCP server documentation: https://open.patsnap.com/marketplace/mcp-servers/biology-modality

Instructions for AI Agents

Step 1: Sequence Identification & Normalization

When a user provides a protein or nucleotide sequence (FASTA format) or a gene name, use the biological normalization tools to resolve the entity to a standard ID or sequence.

Step 2: Sequence-Based Search

Use Sequence Identity Search to find homologs in patents and literature.
Use Motif Search to identify specific functional regions within a sequence.
Filter results by organism, sequence length, and patent publication date.

Step 3: Modality-Specific Analysis

For Antibodies: Analyze CDR regions and antigen binding affinity.
For Nucleotides: Investigate gene expression and multi-omics associations.

Step 4: Output Synthesis

Present biological data with:

Sequence alignments showing identity and gaps.
Functional annotations (e.g., active sites, PTMs).
IP landscape summaries for specific sequences.

Example Workflows

Antibody IP Clearance

Input an antibody heavy/light chain sequence.
Run sequence identity search across global patent databases.
Identify patents with high-identity sequences that may pose FTO risks.

Target Discovery Support

Input a gene or protein name.
Retrieve associated multi-omics data and expression profiles.
Search for similar sequences in literature to identify potential functional homologs.
