npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.jsThe server uses stdio, so it can be connected to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, MCP Inspector, or another compatible MCP client.

search_pathways: Pathways, reactions, molecules by keyword.get_pathway: Summary, species, compartments, literature, diagram link.
Limits and privacy
This project is intentionally narrow. It should be treated as a practical helper, not a complete certification or security audit. Check the implementation and the returned data before using it with sensitive material. No credentials are required.
Premium tools
These tools need a licence key:
pathway_participantspathway_treeidentifier_pathways
The tool bodies run on our gateway, not inside this package, so the key is what buys access. Buy one at https://buy.polar.sh/polar_cl_mrO7rS5LZxpqM7oAFFEA10i9121J240U40IIj4JRZO4 and set it in your MCP client config:
"env": { "MCP_LICENSE_KEY": "polar_..." }The gateway checks the key against Polar and gives every key 1,000 free premium calls a month before per-call billing starts. Every other tool on this server stays free.
