Molecare MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude and other MCP clients access to. Its 14 documented tools cover medical, risk, factors, condition. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting science & health tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Molecare MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set MOLECARE_API_URL, MOLECARE_API_KEY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add molecare-molecare-mcp -- npx -y molecare-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "molecare-molecare-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "molecare-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
