Enables querying PubChem compound properties and structure images through MCP, providing formula, molecular weight, SMILES, IUPAC name, and image URLs.
README
PubChem MCP
A small stdio MCP server for querying PubChem compound properties and structure images.
Tools
query_pubchem: returns formula, molecular weight, charge, SMILES, IUPAC name, atoms, bonds, and hydrogen-bond counts.img: returns PubChem structure-image URLs and MCP image objects.
Setup
Requires Python 3.10+.
python -m venv .venv
# Windows PowerShell
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
# macOS/Linux
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Add the server to an MCP client (replace both paths with absolute paths):
{
"mcpServers": {
"pubchem": {
"command": "C:\\path\\to\\pubchem-mcp\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
"args": ["C:\\path\\to\\pubchem-mcp\\pcp_mcp.py"]
}
}
}
You can also start it directly with python pcp_mcp.py.
Usage
- Properties: call
query_pubchemwith{"compound_name": "aspirin"}. - Structure image: call
imgwith{"compound_name": "aspirin"}.
Notes
- Pass compound names in English; translate them before calling the tools if needed.
- Internet access to PubChem is required. A name may match multiple compounds.
- Image display depends on the MCP client;
imgalso returns browser-ready URLs. - PubChem data should be independently verified before safety-critical, medical, or regulatory use.
