Connects Claude to the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes via REST API. Part of the Pipeworx gateway that bundles 808+ data sources into a single MCP endpoint. You can either call KEGG tools directly or use the ask_pipeworx interface to query in plain English and let the gateway route to the right endpoint automatically. Useful when you're working with genomic pathways, molecular interactions, or biological systems data and want to pull reference information without leaving your AI workflow. The streamable HTTP transport means it works immediately in any MCP client without local setup.
KEGG REST MCP — Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 808+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"kegg": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/kegg/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 808+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Kegg data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
