Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 421 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 424 ms over 2 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    2 of 2 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Pass
    Stable tool list

    No tool was removed and no required parameter was added in the last 30 days.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    25 of 25 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

Capabilities

Tools 16

fetch

Fetch one Scigantic dataset by id (from search): its description, storage location, source link, and schema card (format, columns, sample rows, caveats, and how to load it).

Discovered
get_archive

Get full metadata for one archive by id, including its schema card (structure summary) when one exists.

Discovered
get_data_access

Get how to load a dataset in YOUR OWN environment: storage location plus copy-paste code snippets (from the dataset's schema card, or generated as a fallback). Use this after finding a dataset when you want to run analysis where you are, rather than in a hosted notebook.

Discovered
get_sample_notebook

Get the pre-executed starter notebook for an archive — a worked example of loading and exploring the data. Returns a cell-by-cell summary plus each cell's source (outputs are omitted to keep the payload small).

Discovered
get_schema_card

Get the compact schema card for an archive: file format, columns, sample rows/headers, sidecar docs (READMEs/data dictionaries) and a copy-paste starter cell. This is the fastest way to understand a dataset's structure without mounting it.

Discovered
list_archive_files

List a sample of the files/objects in an archive's storage (the cached file tree).

Discovered
list_compute_tiers

List the compute tiers available for launching a Scigantic notebook (CPU/GPU options and hourly cost).

Discovered
lookup_paper

Look up a research paper on arXiv, by bare arXiv id (e.g. "1706.03762") or by keywords/title, and return its metadata plus any Scigantic archives linked to or suggested by it. Useful for going from a paper an agent is reading to the underlying datasets. Lookup is arXiv-backed: DOIs, "arXiv:"-prefixed ids, and papers that are not on arXiv do not resolve.

Discovered
search

Search the Scigantic catalog of public scientific datasets. Returns matching datasets as {results: [{id, title, url}]}; pass an id to fetch for the full description and schema card.

Discovered
search_archives

Search the Scigantic catalog of public scientific data archives by natural-language query. Matching considers both the archive's description AND a sample of its actual object/file names, so a distinctive filename or path pattern can surface a match even when the prose description never mentions it. Returns ranked matches with id, title, category, a short summary, and two payload-derived trust signals: probeStatus ("empty" means the archive's storage was probed and found to have no accessible objects despite being tagged public — likely credentialed, don't spend a turn on it) and objectCountEstimate (a real count/estimate from that probe, not the description's prose). Follow up with get_schema_card to understand a match's structure before doing any analysis.

Discovered
surechembl_compound

Look up a compound in SureChEMBL, EMBL-EBI's database of chemistry extracted from patents, by any identifier, and report its structure, properties, cross-references (ChEMBL, PubChem, DrugBank, ChEBI, PDB) and how many patents mention it.

Discovered
surechembl_patent

A patent document from SureChEMBL: title, dates, applicants, inventors, assignees, family, priority claims, number of compounds named in the text, abstract, and (optionally) the claims and description text. SureChEMBL no longer returns CPC codes, citations or legal events with a document.

Discovered
surechembl_patent_chemistry

The compounds SureChEMBL's text-mining finds named in a patent's text: SCHEMBL id, name, SMILES, InChIKey, formula, weight. Structures that appear only in images or MOL attachments are not included.

Discovered
surechembl_patents_for_compound

List the patents in which a compound was found (SureChEMBL). Accepts the same identifier forms as surechembl_compound. Aspirin is in ~700,000 documents, so read the total and narrow with surechembl_search_patents when it is large.

Discovered
surechembl_search_patents

Full-text patent search over SureChEMBL with Solr syntax. Plain terms search all text; field prefixes narrow: ttl (title), ab (abstract), clm (claims), desc, asg (assignee), inv (inventor), pdyear, cpc, ic (IPCR), fam (family id). Quote publication numbers: pn:"US-10000000-B2". Combine with AND/OR/NOT. Only US, EP, WO, JP and CN publications are searchable.

Discovered
surechembl_structure_search

Search SureChEMBL's 31 million patent compounds by chemical structure.
