# Gene-Variant-Drug Nexus

**Discipline**: Translational Genomics | **Tools Used**: 4 | **Servers**: 3

## Description

Connect gene variants to drugs: variant effect, gene-disease link, drug associations, and clinical evidence.

## Tools Used

- **`get_vep_hgvs`** from `ensembl-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/12/Origene-Ensembl`
- **`get_associated_targets_by_disease_efoId`** from `opentargets-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets`
- **`get_associated_drugs_by_target_name`** from `opentargets-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets`
- **`clinvar_search`** from `search-server` (streamable-http) - `https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/7/Origene-Search`

## Workflow

1. Predict variant effect
2. Get disease-target associations
3. Find drugs for target
4. Check ClinVar clinical significance

## Test Case

### Input
```json
{
    "hgvs": "ENSP00000269305.4:p.Arg175His",
    "disease_efo": "EFO_0000311"
}
```

### Expected Steps
1. Predict variant effect
2. Get disease-target associations
3. Find drugs for target
4. Check ClinVar clinical significance

## Usage Example

> **Note:** Replace `<YOUR_SCP_HUB_API_KEY>` with your own SCP Hub API Key. You can obtain one from the [SCP Platform](https://scphub.intern-ai.org.cn).

```python
import asyncio
import json
from mcp import ClientSession
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

    "opentargets-server": "https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets",
    "search-server": "https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/7/Origene-Search"
}

async def connect(url, transport_type):
    transport = streamablehttp_client(url=url, headers={"SCP-HUB-API-KEY": "<YOUR_SCP_HUB_API_KEY>"})
    read, write, _ = await transport.__aenter__()
    ctx = ClientSession(read, write)
    session = await ctx.__aenter__()
    await session.initialize()
    return session, ctx, transport

                try: return json.loads(c.text)
                except: return c.text
        return str(result)
    except: return str(result)

    sessions["opentargets-server"], _, _ = await connect("https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/15/Origene-OpenTargets", "streamable-http")
    sessions["search-server"], _, _ = await connect("https://scp.intern-ai.org.cn/api/v1/mcp/7/Origene-Search", "streamable-http")

    # Execute workflow steps
    # Step 1: Predict variant effect
    result_1 = await sessions["ensembl-server"].call_tool("get_vep_hgvs", arguments={})

    # Step 2: Get disease-target associations
    result_2 = await sessions["opentargets-server"].call_tool("get_associated_targets_by_disease_efoId", arguments={})
    data_2 = parse(result_2)
    print(f"Step 2 result: {json.dumps(data_2, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)[:500]}")

    # Step 3: Find drugs for target
    result_3 = await sessions["opentargets-server"].call_tool("get_associated_drugs_by_target_name", arguments={})
    data_3 = parse(result_3)
    print(f"Step 3 result: {json.dumps(data_3, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)[:500]}")

    # Step 4: Check ClinVar clinical significance
    result_4 = await sessions["search-server"].call_tool("clinvar_search", arguments={})
    data_4 = parse(result_4)
    print(f"Step 4 result: {json.dumps(data_4, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)[:500]}")

    print("Workflow complete!")
