Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Chemical safety intelligence — 25 tools: compatibility, hazards, PPE, compliance, SDS lookup

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Law & government data
  • You need to fill in: MSDS_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: MSDS_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "msds-chain": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "msds-chain-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MSDS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add msds-chain --env MSDS_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y msds-chain-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "msds-chain": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "msds-chain-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MSDS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "msds-chain": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "msds-chain-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MSDS_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • MSDS_API_KEY secret required env
    API key from msdschain.lagentbot.com (free plan available)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Msds Chain safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: MSDS_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.5.12) reached the registry 5 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MSDS Chain MCP Server

Chemical safety intelligence for AI-assisted experiment design.

An MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Copilot Studio, and any other MCP client) 27 tools for chemical safety reasoning: compatibility checks, hazard analysis, regulatory compliance, PPE, storage, transport, and signed audit reports. Every answer names the supplier SDS it came from, with a link to the original PDF.

MSDS Chain, powered by ChainSDS: a verified, always-current chemical safety database.

Built for researchers who design experiments with AI and want safety verification inside the workflow rather than as a separate step: whether the chemicals on a deck are compatible, which mixing orders are dangerous, what PPE a specific handling step needs, how a compound is treated under EU REACH or US OSHA/TSCA, and what a GLP/GMP reviewer will ask for afterwards.

Quick Start

Hosted endpoint. Nothing to install, nothing to run locally:

claude mcp add msds-chain --transport http https://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and sign in. A browser opens, you enter your email, and you paste back the code we send you. Your account is provisioned automatically and the free plan includes a credit allowance. There is no API key to create beforehand.

On another platform? See Platform Setup below.

Tools (27)

ToolDescription
`batch_safety_check`One-call report for a chemical list: pairwise compatibility + per-chemical risk warnings
`check_regulatory_lists`Cross-reference a chemical against 23 regulatory watch lists across 8 jurisdictions + 3 international conventions
`review_synthesis_route`Screen a multi-step synthesis route for incompatibilities within each step and between carried-over residue and the next step; never declares a route safe
`assess_thermal_hazard`Thermal hazard screening: energetic-group and oxygen-balance flags, plus a Stoessel class from process values you supply
`get_sds_section`Retrieve a specific SDS section (1-16) for a chemical

Usage Examples

Experiment protocol review:

User: I'm planning a Grignard reaction with magnesium turnings, diethyl ether,

and bromobenzene. Check if this setup is safe.

Agent: → calls batch_safety_check(["magnesium", "diethyl ether", "bromobenzene"]) → Returns: compatibility matrix + per-chemical risk warnings (with source SDS)

Signed audit report:

User: Create a safety audit report for our quarterly review.

Chemicals: acetone, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, hexane.

Agent: → calls create_audit_session("Q2 2026 Solvent Cabinet Review", [...]) → calls get_audit_report("SESSION-ID") → Returns: signed PDF URL (Ed25519 signature, suitable for GLP/GMP compliance)

Platform Setup

One hosted server, two transports. Pick the row your client supports:

TransportEndpointNotes
Streamable HTTPhttps://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcpPreferred: broadest and most robust
SSEhttps://mcp.lagentbot.com/sseFor clients that only speak SSE

Authentication is either OAuth (the client opens a browser sign-in on first connect) or a static header, Authorization: Bearer sk-msds-your-key, for headless clients. Create a key at msdschain.lagentbot.com > API Keys.

Claude (web, desktop, mobile)

Settings > Connectors, search msds-chain, and enable it. Sign-in happens on first use.

Claude Code

Three routes, any one is enough:

# 1. Remote server only

claude mcp add msds-chain --transport http https://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcp

2. Plugin from the official Claude plugin marketplace (server + skill)

/plugin install msds-chain@claude-plugins-official

3. npm shim (registers the same hosted endpoint)

claude mcp add msds-chain -- npx -y msds-chain-mcp@latest

Manual config in ~/.claude.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "msds-chain": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.lagentbot.com/mcp" } } }

Routes 2 and 3 of the plugin also install the /msds-safety-check skill: it spots chemicals in your conversation and offers a check, and runs a guided audit for lab protocols or EHS compliance.

ChatGPT

Listed in the OpenAI Plugin Directory. Search MSDS Chain in ChatGPT, enable it, and sign in when prompted. Works on web, desktop, and mobile.

Gemini CLI

Listed in the Gemini CLI extensions gallery:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/littleblakew/msds-chain-mcp

Gemini asks you to confirm twice: once to trust the workspace, once to review the extension and the skill it carries. Your first chemical question starts the sign-in automatically; the server supports Dynamic Client Registration, so Gemini registers itself and completes the OAuth exchange on its own. Check the connection with gemini mcp list, then just ask in chat:

Can acetone and sodium hypochlorite be stored in the same cabinet?
OpenAI Codex CLI
codex marketplace add https://github.com/littleblakew/msds-chain-mcp
Microsoft Copilot Studio and Power Platform

MSDS Chain ships a certified Power Platform connector, so there is nothing to configure by hand. In Copilot Studio, add a tool from the connector directory and search MSDS Chain; the connector handles the OAuth exchange against the same hosted endpoint.

SSE-only clients (悟空 / Wukong, Dify, Coze)

These clients do not speak streamable HTTP yet, so point them at /sse and pass a static key:

  1. Open the MCP server or tool integration settings
  2. Transport type: SSE
  3. URL: https://mcp.lagentbot.com/sse
  4. Header: Authorization : Bearer sk-msds-your-key
Any other MCP client

Use the endpoint table above. Clients that implement OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration need no pre-registration; everything else uses the static Authorization header.

Privacy & Data Handling

  • Privacy Policy: msdschain.lagentbot.com/privacy
  • Read-only tools send only the chemical names and queries you provide; no personal data is required.
  • API-key tools (upload_msds_pdf, create_audit_session, get_audit_report) associate activity with your account for audit traceability.
  • Uploaded MSDS PDFs are processed for data extraction and contribute to the verified ChainSDS database per your account's data-sharing settings.

Data Coverage

Industry-sourced, AI-verified, and cryptographically signed.

  • 4,000,000+ chemical records with multi-language aliases (EN/ZH/JA)
  • NFPA/GHS classification for compatibility rules
  • 23 regulatory watch lists across major jurisdictions (EU, US, CN, JP, KR, CA, AU, SG) plus international conventions
  • Occupational exposure limits from 5 standards (OSHA PEL, ACGIH TLV, EU IOELV, JP OEL, CN GBZ)
  • UN transport data for 16+ common lab chemicals
  • Version tracking: detects a newer SDS and diffs its hazard classification against the one you relied on

Troubleshooting
