它能做什么

工具名称和描述与服务器在 2026年11月7日 报告的完全一致。这些内容由作者撰写，不是我们写的；我们以纯文本形式显示。

• string_resolve_proteins

  Maps one or more protein identifiers to their corresponding STRING metadata, including: gene symbol, description, sequence, domains, species, and internal STRING ID. This method is useful for translating raw identifiers into readable, annotated protein entries. Example input: "TP

• string_interactions_query_set

  Retrieves the interactions between the query proteins. Use this method only when you specifically need to list the interactions between all proteins in your query set. - For a **single protein**, the network includes that protein and its top 10 most likely interaction partners, p

• string_all_interaction_partners

  Retrieves all interaction partners for one or more proteins from STRING. This tool returns all known interactions between your query protein(s) and **any other proteins in the STRING database**. - Use this when asking **“What does TP53 interact with?”** - It differs from `string_

• string_visual_network

  Retrieves a URL to a **STRING interaction network image** for one or more proteins. - For a single protein: includes the protein and its top 10 most likely interactors. - For multiple proteins: includes all known interactions **within the query set**. The input may include one nu

• string_network_clustering

  Performs **network clustering** on a STRING interaction network and returns a network image URL, an interactive STRING network URL, and details about each detected cluster. Provide a table with each detected cluster’s color, STRING-derived functional description, and any returned

• string_network_link

  Retrieves a stable URL to an interactive STRING network for one or more proteins. - For a single protein: includes the protein and its top 10 most likely interactors. - For multiple proteins: includes all known interactions **within the query set**. The input may include one nume

• string_homology

  Retrieves pairwise protein similarity scores (Smith–Waterman bit scores) for the query proteins. - If no target species (`species_b`) is provided, results are intra-species (within the query species). - To retrieve homologs in other species or clades (e.g. vertebrates, yeast, pla

• string_interaction_evidence

  Retrieves direct links to STRING evidence pages for protein–protein interaction pairs. Use this tool only when a STRING evidence page/link is needed. To determine whether an interaction is supported, use `string_interactions_query_set`. It returns URLs linking to STRING’s evidenc

• string_enrichment

  This tool retrieves functional enrichment for a set of proteins using STRING. - If queried with a single protein, the tool expands the query to include the protein’s 10 most likely interactors; enrichment is performed on this set, not the original single protein. - For two or mor

• string_functional_annotation

  This tool retrieves curated functional annotations for a set of proteins. Each input protein is mapped to known biological terms from ontologies, pathway databases, tissues, compartments and domains — such as Gene Ontology (GO), KEGG, and UniProt Keywords. - Use this when the use

• string_enrichment_image_url

  Retrieves a STRING enrichment figure (image URL) for a set of proteins. For the enriched terms and FDR values, use `string_enrichment`. - Each figure shows a single enrichment category; call again with another `category` to show a different one. - Use the same proteins and specie

• string_ppi_enrichment

  This tool tests if your network is enriched in protein-protein interactions compared to the background proteome-wide distribution (i.e., if your proteins are more functionally connected than expected by chance). - The enrichment is assessed using the actual observed edges versus

• string_proteins_for_term

  Retrieve proteins annotated with a functional term or descriptive text in a single species. You can query for tissues, compartments, diseases, processes, pathways, and domains. IMPORTANT: For cross-species comparisons, run this tool separately for each species. Select relevant mo

• string_sequence_search

  Searches the STRING database using **amino acid sequences** to identify matching proteins. - Accepts a single sequence or multiple sequences in FASTA format. - Returns the most similar STRING protein(s) for the specified species, based on sequence similarity. - Use this when the

• string_query_species

  Search for species or clades available in STRING by free-text query and return their NCBI taxonomy IDs. - Use this when the user asks which species or clades are present in STRING, or when you need the correct NCBI taxon ID to pass to other tools. - use this to resolve NCBI taxon

• string_create_file

  Creates a downloadable file for STRING-derived results. Use this tool when the user explicitly asks to download, save, export, or receive a file containing STRING data, tables, protein lists, enrichment results, networks, etc. When a response would otherwise include a publication

• string_help

  Provides explanatory text for STRING features and limitations. Use this tool when the user question involves: - What is STRING is or how to use the tool (how_to_use_string, cytoscape) - functionality not available via MCP tools (e.g. GSEA or large datasets). - meaning of network
