Connects Claude to MetaboLights, the European Bioinformatics Institute's open access repository for metabolomics experimental data and metadata. This is part of the Pipeworx gateway, which routes requests to 823+ data sources through a unified MCP interface. The server uses their ask_pipeworx pattern where you ask questions in plain English rather than calling specific tools. You'd reach for this when working with metabolic profiling studies, analyzing metabolite data, or exploring publicly available metabolomics experiments. Useful for researchers doing meta-analysis across studies or developers building tools that need programmatic access to metabolomics datasets without writing custom API clients.
MetaboLights MCP — EBI's metabolomics study repository.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 823+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"metabolights": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/metabolights/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 823+ 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 Metabolights data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
