Target Reference Server

Catalyst evidence graph Overview

Catalyst evidence graph MCP server connects assistants and editors to a curated graph of human evidence about compounds, supplements, nutrients, and foods. Its read-only Streamable HTTP endpoint returns findings for compounds or outcomes, with evidence levels, quoted source text, study details, and permalinks. It also exposes reference-database relations such as targets, pathways, and reactions, marked as hypotheses rather than reported results. Use it when an agent needs source-checkable evidence without accounts, API keys, product recommendations, or purchase links.

Primary Use Cases for Catalyst evidence graph:

Find human evidence for a compound or outcome
Filter findings by minimum evidence strength
Inspect study populations and doses
Verify claims against quoted papers
