PrimeKG Precision Medicine Knowledge Graph

Query the PrimeKG biomedical knowledge graph — genes, drugs, diseases, phenotypes — straight from Claude Code.

Data & AnalyticsIntermediate★ 33,030⑂ 3,248AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

Gives Claude programmatic access to PrimeKG, Harvard's precision medicine knowledge graph (~129K nodes, ~4M edges, 29 relation types).

  • search_nodes() to find genes, proteins, drugs, diseases, phenotypes
  • get_neighbors() to pull direct associations, filterable by relation type
  • get_disease_context() for a one-shot summary of a disease's genes, drugs and phenotypes
  • Reference list of key edge types: drug_protein, disease_gene, disease_phenotype, gwas, protein_protein

Who it's for

  • Researchers hunting for drug targets or drug-repurposing hypotheses
  • Biomedical data analysts linking symptoms to diseases and genes
  • Grad students and labs working on network pharmacology or multiscale biology

Example uses

  1. "Summarize the genes and approved drugs associated with Alzheimer's disease" → get_disease_context("Alzheimer's disease")
  2. "List only the protein targets of this drug" → get_neighbors(drug_id, relation_type="drug_protein")
  3. "Find diseases sharing phenotypes with X" → traverse phenotype neighbors to surface repurposing paths

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills/HEAD/skills/primekg/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on AI Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/primekg folder from the GitHub repo K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/primekg/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/primekg ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills.git
  2. Copy the skill into your skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r scientific-agent-skills/skills/primekg ~/.claude/skills/
  3. Install the Python dependency: pip install pandas
  4. Download kg.csv from the PrimeKG Harvard Dataverse — it is a large file, so allow disk space and time.
  5. Point the scripts at your copy: export PRIMEKG_DATA=/path/to/kg.csv (ignore the leftover C:\Users\eamon\... path in the doc).
  6. Restart Claude Code and try: "Use PrimeKG to find genes associated with Alzheimer's disease."
