About Open Targets Platform
The Open Targets consortium’s official MCP service. Search genes, diseases and drugs, then query the Platform’s GraphQL API for association scores, supporting evidence (genetics, expression, literature, pathways, animal models), tractability, safety liabilities and known drugs. Best for target identification and prioritisation; the agent reads the schema before querying.
Questions you can ask Open Targets Platform
Type them into Kahubi’s chat once Open Targets Platform is connected.
“Which targets have the strongest genetic evidence for Parkinson’s disease, and which already have drugs in development?”
What comes back: Association scores by evidence type, Ensembl target IDs and known drugs with their clinical phase.
“What safety liabilities are recorded for this target?”
What comes back: Safety events and the evidence behind them from the Open Targets Platform.
Open Targets Platform MCP tools
The 5 tools the Open Targets Platform server offers to Kahubi. The assistant picks the right one for each question.
get_open_targets_graphql_schemaRetrieve the Open Targets Platform GraphQL schema filtered by category.
get_type_dependenciesGet schema subsets for types, separated by specific and shared deps.
search_entitiesSearch for entities across multiple types using the Open Targets Platform search API.
query_open_targets_graphqlExecute GraphQL queries against the Open Targets Platform API.
batch_query_open_targets_graphqlExecute the same GraphQL query multiple times with different variable sets.
Using Open Targets Platform in Kahubi
- Official server. Run by the organisation behind the database, so results come straight from the source.
- Cited, checkable answers. Results are treated as retrieved material and cited with the source’s own identifiers, so you can open every record the answer relied on.
- Your files stay private. Only the search the assistant writes for your question is sent to Open Targets Platform.
