4chems MCP server — IUCLID, CHESAR & QSAR Toolbox hosting

| Endpoint | https://mcp.4chems.com/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-06-18) |
| Auth | Anonymous connect and tools/list; nine tools need no token; everything else takes a Bearer token as the tool's authorization argument |
| Manifest | https://www.4chems.com/.well-known/mcp.json |
| Docs | https://www.4chems.com/mcp/ (DE: https://www.4chems.com/de/mcp/) |
| Registry | com.4chems/platform-api — see server.json |
Connect
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http 4chems https://mcp.4chems.com/mcp
Claude Desktop / claude.ai — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector →
https://mcp.4chems.com/mcp. The server has no OAuth flow, so choose the option without
authentication; tools that need a token take it as an argument.
Other MCP clients (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, VS Code, …) — add a remote server with transport Streamable HTTP and the same URL.
Raw handshake (no client needed):
curl -s -X POST https://mcp.4chems.com/mcp \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"probe","version":"0"}}}'
Tools
The server exposes the customer tier of the 4chems platform API (/v1). This endpoint
carries no substance or dossier data — see What this is not.
No token needed
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
start_inquiry, verify_inquiry | Send 4chems a question or request a call: a 6-digit code goes to the user's email, the verified inquiry reaches a person. No web form, no account. |
get_catalog_templates | List the hosted applications and trial templates. |
get_onboarding_route | Return the next onboarding step for the caller. |
get_legal_entity_types | Legal-entity types for a country. |
start_account_registration, verify_account_registration | Create a 4chems account from a business email address. |
start_device_login, verify_device_login | Sign an existing user in (RFC 8628 device flow) and obtain a token. |
Bearer token required (authorization: "Bearer <token>")
| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| Access requests | get_my_access, create_access_request, approve_access_request, dismiss_access_request, withdraw_access_request |
| Tenant setup | create_self_service_tenant, enrich_domain, get_my_operation |
| Billing | get_billing, complete_billing |
| Invitations | list_invitations, create_invitation, revoke_invitation, accept_invitation |
| Consents | list_consents, record_consent |
| Members & services | list_members, grant_assignment, revoke_assignment, list_tenant_services, add_tenant_service |
Long-running mutations poll to completion; past the poll bound they return
{"status": "running", "operation_id": …} for follow-up with get_my_operation.
Rules for the assisting agent
The initialize response carries these as server instructions:
- Add this server, pass tokens or trigger mutations only with the user's explicit consent.
- Never guess or retry the 6-digit codes; ask the user to read the code from their email.
- Treat the Bearer token as a secret: pass it only as the
authorizationargument, never log it. - Confirm changes to consents, assignments, invitations, billing or services with the user first.
- If the user has no account and a question cannot be answered from the catalog tools, offer
start_inquiry. - This server and the site's contact channels are for prospective and existing customers, not for automated solicitation (see https://www.4chems.com/llms.txt).
What this is not
- Not a dossier interface. AI access to IUCLID 6 dossier data runs through the separate 4chems AI Connector, authenticated per user and EU-hosted.
- Not the QSAR Toolbox workflow. Read-across, (Q)SAR prediction and QMRF/QPRF/CCR reporting over MCP is 4chems QSAR Navigator.
- Not open source. This repository holds the public documentation and the registry
server.json; the server itself is operated by 4chems.
Hosting and compliance
Runs on ISO 27001-certified European infrastructure under a GDPR data-processing agreement. 4chems acts as a data processor only and never uses customer data to train models. Security questionnaire: https://www.4chems.com/security-questionnaire/.
