Nullary MCP Server
Negative results intelligence for drug discovery — over the Model Context Protocol.
Nullary is a hosted MCP server that lets AI agents query measured negative results from drug discovery: inactive compounds, failed selectivity panels, terminated clinical trials, failed CRISPR screens, antibody developability failures, and more — each result carrying full provenance (source database, DOI/PMID, license).
This repository documents the public MCP interface. The server is hosted; the data pipeline and application code are maintained separately.
Connect
Nullary is a remote MCP server (streamable-HTTP) — nothing to install, no API key:

What you can ask
"What's failed against EGFR?" — failed compounds, trials, and screens for a target, across modalities
"Which kinase inhibitors were inactive in ChEMBL?"
"Show terminated Phase 2 oncology trials and why they stopped"
"Failed CRISPR knockouts for TP53"
Tools are organized by modality (small molecule, CRISPR, antibody, peptide, PROTAC, clinical trial, …); every response cites its source.
Tools
The server exposes 35 tools — served live via the MCP tools/list method. Full JSON
Schemas (inputs per tool) are in tools.json. Tools span the seven
modalities plus cross-modality history, compound/provenance lookups, and the Layer-1
model registry.
Tool | Description |
| Inactive small-molecule compound-target pairs. |
| Small molecules that failed selectivity. |
| Small-molecule ADMET failures. |
| Failed/ineffective CRISPR guides. |
| Non-dependency / failed essentiality screens. |
| Ancestry-specific CRISPR failures. |
| Antibody developability failures. |
| Discontinued/terminated clinical antibodies. |
| Failed peptide therapeutics. |
| Peptide stability/half-life failures. |
| PROTACs that failed degradation/ternary/permeability. |
| PROTAC E3-ligase recruitment / ternary failures. |
| ASOs/siRNAs that failed engagement/developability. |
| Oligonucleotide delivery failures. |
| Failed/terminated vaccines (by pathogen/indication). |
| Failed vaccine immunogen designs. |
| ADCs that failed at any stage. |
| ADC failures attributed to linker chemistry. |
| Bispecifics that failed at any stage. |
| Bispecific format/engineering failures. |
| ADMET failures across ALL modalities. |
| Drug-drug interaction failures. |
| Approaches that failed for a mechanism (by target). |
| Findings that failed to replicate. |
| Clinical/preclinical safety failures across modalities. |
| ALL failed approaches against a target across every modality. |
| ALL failed approaches for an indication across every modality. |
| Vaccine + antimicrobial + antibody failures for a pathogen. |
| A compound + its full negative profile across modalities/sources. |
| Full provenance + detail for a single finding by id. |
| Target "graveyard" / exhaustion index — how picked-over a target is, by modality and outcome. |
| The most heavily-pursued targets, ranked by recorded negative findings. |
| Summary of the Layer-1 inactivity-scoring model registry. |
| Per-target Layer-1 model card: training counts + held-out scaffold-split metrics. |
