Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Raras and you get told the day something new turns up.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

diseases
find_diseases_by_phenotypes
Match por IDs HPO. Use para diagnóstico diferencial.
search_diseases
Full-text search em 10.468 doenças raras. Suporta filtros SUS/trials.
papers
find_papers_for_disease
Literatura relacionada a uma doença via embeddings (:SEMANTIC_MATCH, fallback vetorial).
search_papers_semantic
Busca vetorial sobre 424k papers do PubMed. Use caso clínico, pergunta ou conjunto de sintomas.
active
find_active_trials
Trials ativos com filtro Brazil.
analyze
analyze_clinical_case
Caso clínico → doenças candidatas + literatura relevante em 1 chamada. Apenas informativo, nunca diagnóstico.
disease
get_disease_detail
Fenótipos HPO, genes, SUS, trials, descrição clínica em PT.
evidence
get_evidence
Cross-references de autoridade (Orphanet, MONDO, OMIM, MeSH, GARD, UMLS), status de verificação e PMIDs de uma doença. A base da regra "nunca inventar".
explain
explain_relation
Raciocínio fundamentado sobre o grafo: dada uma pergunta (ex.: "por que o gene X se associa à doença Y?", "como a droga Z se relaciona a esta doença?"), retorna caminhos de evidência multi-hop (doença↔gene↔via↔droga↔fenótipo) com proveniência citável. Se não houver caminho no grafo, recusa — nunca inventa.
graph
get_graph_stats
Contagens e métricas do dataset.
hypotheses
get_hypotheses
Candidatos a reposicionamento de fármacos gerados por associação de genes (guilt-by-association): drogas que tratam outras doenças que compartilham genes com esta. HIPÓTESES para investigação, NUNCA recomendações clínicas — cada uma rastreável (via gene X, da doença Y).
literature
get_literature_relations
Relações tipadas extraídas da literatura biomédica (associate/treat/cause/inhibit/stimulate/prevent) entre a doença e genes/fármacos, com nº de publicações como proveniência. Filtrável por predicado.
phenotypes
search_phenotypes
Lookup HPO em PT ou EN. Retorna IDs HP:.
phenotypically
find_phenotypically_similar
Doenças com perfil de fenótipos HPO semelhante (simGIC pré-computado, explicável: nº de fenótipos em comum). Complementa find_similar_diseases (semântico).
recent
get_recent_updates
Doenças cujo gêmeo digital ganhou evidência nova (autoria, PubTator3, Open Targets, verificação) nos últimos N dias. Faça polling para acompanhar mudanças (substituto stateless de subscriptions).
reference

Centros por doença e/ou UF, com CNES.
research
get_research_log

schema
get_schema
Node labels, relationship types e property keys do grafo. Use antes de cypher_query.
similar

Raras — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Raras do?
It exposes 20 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: analyze_clinical_case, explain_relation, find_active_trials, find_diseases_by_phenotypes, find_papers_for_disease, find_phenotypically_similar and 14 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Raras mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around papers and diseases. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Raras working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 1122 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Did Raras ever remove tools?
Yes. find_communities is no longer exposed — we recorded the date each one disappeared. A tool vanishing usually means a breaking change for anything that depended on it.
How do I connect Raras?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Raras need an API key?
No. Raras completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 20 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Raras?
It answers our handshake in 1122 ms on average, which is faster than 6% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Raras open source?
We cannot say either way: written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
