Chinese medicinal knowledge has long been scattered across classical texts, textbooks, and folk experience. A single herb may carry several aliases, different meridian tropisms, and four-nature classifications, yet the relationships between them rarely appear in a structured form. This plugin assembles herb names, aliases, sources, distributions, functions, indications, meridian tropism, and four natures — along with their interconnections — into a queryable knowledge graph, turning lookup from page-flipping into directed graph traversal.

Its core capability rests on a graph database: get_schema reveals every node type, property, and relationship currently defined in the graph; execute_read_cypher lets you write read-only Cypher queries to follow arbitrary paths across a herb tropism, pairing, or nature link; and set_xby_apikey persists your API credential across sessions so you are not prompted again after a restart. All operations are strictly read-only — no data is written or mutated.

It is aimed at learners and researchers working on TCM literature curation, drug-relation studies, or anyone who wants to turn scattered notes on Chinese herbs into a navigable knowledge network. The author explicitly tags the content as preliminary research; verify against authoritative sources before any clinical or academic citation.
