`mechanism`

Pack: chembl · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/mechanism for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Raw ChEMBL mechanism records for one exact molecule ChEMBL ID (e.g. “CHEMBL1703”), returned verbatim from the API. Use when you already hold the precise molecule ID and want the unshaped rows; to start from a drug name, call chembl_mechanism.

Parameters
