Example
YOU SAY TO YOUR AGENT
Look up human TP53: identifiers, domains, pathways and interaction partners.
On the right: the call your agent makes and the reply it got on 2026-10-13, shortened to the first records and a few of their fields.

Frequently asked questions
Your agent calls lookup_gene_protein, search_expression_data over MCP. ScholarMuse queries NCBI Gene, Ensembl, UniProt, InterPro, Reactome, STRING, GTEx, NCBI GEO and returns records, each with its source, licence and a link you can check.
No. It costs 1 credit per call, charged only when the call succeeds. A new account gets 50 credits once, valid for 30 days.
