What it does

Patsnap Target Disease is an agent skill from patsnap/mcp. Patsnap Target & Disease MCP for AI agents. Target and disease profiling tool, covering target characterization, disease profiling, and epidemiology evidence retrieval.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 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 Agent Workflows, covering 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 Target Disease loads about 715 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 252 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~715

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 Target & Disease

This skill connects your AI agent to Patsnap's Target & Disease MCP server — providing professional-grade life sciences intelligence.

Target and disease profiling tool, covering target characterization, disease profiling, and epidemiology evidence retrieval.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the Patsnap Target & Disease MCP server to be configured in your environment:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "target_disease": {
      "url": "https://connect.patsnap.com/2a2645/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/target-disease

Instructions for AI Agents

Step 1: Normalize Entities First

Before executing any search or fetch operation, normalize targets, drugs, diseases, companies, and clinical trial IDs to Patsnap internal IDs when possible. This improves retrieval accuracy.

Step 2: Choose the Right Tool

Select search tools for discovery and corresponding _fetch tools for full records. Use vector search tools for natural-language evidence queries.

Step 3: Fetch Full Records

Search tools return summary results with IDs. Follow up with the appropriate _fetch tool when the user needs complete details.

Step 4: Synthesize and Structure Output

Lead with key findings, cite sources, highlight data gaps, and use tables for comparisons.

Example Workflows

Target Prioritization

Normalize the target name with ls_ner_nor_normalize.
Use target_fetch to retrieve target structure and druggability data.
Search epidemiology_search for disease burden evidence.

Disease Landscape

Normalize the disease name.
Use disease_fetch to retrieve disease profile and standard of care.
Cross-reference epidemiology evidence to assess unmet need.
