Best for
  • Developers who want to interact with NocoDB using natural language.
  • Users needing quick CRUD operations on NocoDB tables.
  • Scenarios integrating with AI assistants via MCP.
  • Drug discovery and computational chemistry researchers
  • Bioinformatics teams needing ChEMBL data through AI assistants
  • Developers comfortable with Node.js or Docker
Not for
  • Not suitable for databases other than NocoDB.
  • Not ideal for complex transactional or advanced query requirements.
  • Not recommended for production environments with high security needs, as this fork is not officially maintained.
  • Production settings requiring official ChEMBL support (this is unofficial)
  • Users without a Node.js or Docker environment
  • General database tasks unrelated to ChEMBL
Required permissions
  • Requires NocoDB instance URL, API token, and Base ID.
  • Uses NocoDB API, requiring appropriate read/write permissions.
  • Outbound network access to https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/api/data
  • Read-only access to public API data; no authentication credentials required
Risks and side effects
  • API tokens may be exposed; store them securely.
  • Third-party fork may not be security audited.
  • Misuse could lead to permanent data deletion or overwrite.
  • Unofficial project with license marked NOASSERTION (README claims MIT); verify licensing yourself
  • Data accuracy depends on the ChEMBL REST API and the server's parsing may contain defects
  • 30-second request timeouts may constrain large batch queries
  • README inconsistency on tool count (22 vs 27) raises documentation reliability concerns
