REST API

The engine, as an API.

One call pattern for every tool — call Novo's in-silico tools over HTTP from a script or your own AI agent. One base URL, one Bearer key, usage-based credits. The same engine behind the MCP connectors, exposed directly to your code — plus a few tools available only here.

Quickstart

One pattern, every tool.

Every tool is POST /v1/tools/{name} with a JSON body and a Bearer key. No SDK required — it's just HTTP.

curl

curl -s https://api.novomcp.com/v1/tools/validate_target \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $NOVOMCP_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"arguments": {"target": "EGFR", "disease": "lung cancer"}}'

Responses come back as { result, usage } — the tool's payload plus the credits spent and your remaining balance. Full curl, Python, and JavaScript examples are in the API docs.

The headline use case

Bring your own AI agent.

NovoMCP is the engine, not the reasoner — you supply the model. Expose Novo's tools to your own agent (Claude API, GPT, anything) and let it call them in its loop, with live tool schemas from GET /v1/tools.

python

# Expose Novo's tools to your own model and let it call them in its loop.
def call_novomcp(tool, arguments):
    r = requests.post(
        f"https://api.novomcp.com/v1/tools/{tool}",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {KEY}"},
        json={"arguments": arguments},
    )
    return r.json()   # { "result": {...}, "usage": {...} }

Four hostnames

Which door is which.

api. is the one REST API you call from your code. ai. and compute. are the MCP connectors you add to an assistant. app. is the dashboard. Same account and credits across all of them.

One engine, every surface

Novo is the engine. Reach it the way you work.

Chat, your own code, the desktop, the browser, your editor — even the terminal. One engine and one audit trail, whichever door you use.
