biothings-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Biothings.io
This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for BioThings, providing a standardized interface for accessing and manipulating biomedical data. MCP enables AI assistants and agents to access specialized biomedical knowledge through structured interfaces to authoritative data sources. Supported BioThings data sources include:
- mygene.info — Gene annotation and query service
- myvariant.info — Variant annotation and query service
- mychem.info — Chemical compound annotation and query service
If you want to understand more what is Model Context Protocol and how to use it more efficiently you can take DeepLearning AI Course or just search for MCP videos on YouTube.
