This gives Claude access to HMDB, the Human Metabolome Database with 220,000+ metabolite entries. It's built for metabolomics research, biomarker discovery, and compound identification tasks. You can search by metabolite name, structure, or mass spec data, then pull detailed info like chemical properties, biological pathways, disease associations, and reference spectra. The database doesn't have a public API, so this skill handles web searches and helps you work with downloadable XML or CSV datasets. One thing to note: HMDB is comprehensive but updated periodically, so version tracking matters if you're publishing results. Free for academic use, but commercial work needs permission from the University of Alberta team.
