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 Pharma Intelligence loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 443 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k

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 Pharma Intelligence

This skill connects your AI agent to Patsnap's Pharma Intelligence MCP server — the most comprehensive pharmaceutical data layer available for AI agents.

With this skill, your agent gains the ability to perform professional-grade pharmaceutical research: from identifying drug targets and searching clinical trials, to analyzing licensing deals and reviewing FDA labels.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the Patsnap Pharma Intelligence MCP server to be configured in your environment:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pharma_intelligence": {
      "url": "https://connect.patsnap.com/096456/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: open.patsnap.com/marketplace/mcp-servers/pharma-intelligence

Instructions for AI Agents

Step 1: Always Normalize Entities First

Before executing any search or fetch operation, always call ls_ner_nor_normalize on the user's input text. This tool identifies and normalizes targets, drugs, diseases, companies, mechanisms of action (MoA), patent numbers, and clinical trial IDs — returning the internal IDs required by all downstream tools.

Do not skip this step. Raw user text must be resolved to Patsnap internal IDs for accurate retrieval.

Step 2: Choose the Right Tool for the Task

This MCP provides 28 tools organized across these domains:

Drug & Pipeline: search and fetch drug assets, licensing and collaboration deals
Clinical Trials: structured search, semantic search, and published results
Scientific Literature: paper search, vector search, and translational medicine
Patents & Regulatory: patent fetch, FDA label semantic search
Market & Epidemiology: disease data, HEOR, financial reports, epidemiology
Real-Time News: semantic news search and full article fetch

For the complete tool list and input parameters, see: open.patsnap.com/marketplace/mcp-servers/pharma-intelligence

Show full SKILL.md (189 more words)Show less

Step 3: Fetch Full Records When Needed

Search tools return summary results with IDs. When the user needs complete details, always follow up with the corresponding _fetch tool (e.g., after ls_drug_search, call ls_drug_fetch with the returned IDs).

Step 4: Synthesize and Structure Your Output

After retrieving data, present findings in a structured, professional format:

Lead with key findings: Summarize the most relevant results first
Cite sources: Always include drug names, trial IDs, paper titles, or patent numbers
Highlight gaps: If data is limited, acknowledge it and suggest alternative search strategies
Use tables for comparing multiple drugs, trials, or deals side by side

Example Workflows

Biomarker Investigation

ls_ner_nor_normalize → extract target/disease entities
ls_paper_search → find supporting academic evidence
ls_clinical_trial_search → identify trials using this biomarker
ls_patent_fetch → check IP landscape

Competitive Drug Landscape

ls_ner_nor_normalize → normalize disease/target
ls_drug_search → enumerate competing assets
ls_drug_deal_search → identify recent BD activity
ls_news_vector_search → surface latest developments

Target Intelligence

ls_ner_nor_normalize → resolve target ID
ls_drug_search → find all drugs modulating this target
ls_paper_vector_search → retrieve mechanistic literature
ls_clinical_trial_search → map clinical development activity
