Listing

In the capability tree: Search and information / Reference data / Life-science databases (primary). Placed by three checks by a small AI model: placed, found blind from its tasks, and verified against its own text (placement-ai/6, tree/3) on 2026-10-30. Wrong place? Tell us.

In the directory: meets our listing criteria (listing-criteria/6): ✓ says what it does; ✓ its latest check passed.

What these figures do not show

  • A passing check means the server completed the MCP handshake with us (initialize, then tools/list, with no credentials; mcp-handshake/2) or asked for credentials first (HTTP 401). It does not show that the server's tools work or what they return. Tool names are as the server listed them.
  • Listed in the Official MCP Registry; this data comes from the Official MCP Registry. Its listing's description is not republished.
  • Limited evidence: monitored for under 1 day (less than 30).
