searchEntities

Free

Resolve a gene/protein, disease or drug name (brand names and synonyms included) to Open Targets IDs: Ensembl gene IDs for targets, EFO/MONDO IDs for diseases, ChEMBL IDs for drugs. Use this first; the IDs feed every other Open Targets tool, drug ChEMBL IDs also work in chembl-mcp (getMechanisms, getDrugIndications, getBioactivities, getMolecules). Target IDs here are Ensembl, not ChEMBL target IDs: use the symbol with chembl-mcp searchTargets for those.
