Frequently asked questions
ChemCP is categorized under Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Medical MCP belongs to Biology & Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick ChemCP for biology & bioinformatics work and Medical MCP for biology & bioinformatics.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
ChemCP has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Medical MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add chemcp and jamesanz-medical-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
