# ChEMBL MCP: Use ChEMBL in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/chembl

Connect the ChEMBL MCP server to Maito in one click, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “Which compounds in ChEMBL are active against EGFR?”

ChEMBL is a database of bioactive molecules, drug targets and assay data. Connect the ChEMBL MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use ChEMBL from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

What approved drugs target the dopamine D2 receptor?

Maito uses ChEMBL to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect ChEMBL

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to ChEMBL. It needs no separate sign-in: choose Connect and it's ready. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use ChEMBL from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if ChEMBL isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### Who publishes the ChEMBL MCP server?

Anthropic, and it needs no sign-in. Maito connects to it for you, so there's no address to copy.

### Can I use the ChEMBL MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect ChEMBL?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use ChEMBL, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect ChEMBL before I ask?

No. If a request needs ChEMBL and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in ChEMBL?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any ChEMBL tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools ChEMBL adds later stay off until you turn them on.
