Bioinformatics and life science data for AI agents — gene search, protein structures, clinical variants, PubMed literature, and DNA sequences via NCBI and UniProt.

PyPI version License: MIT

No API key required. 10 tools covering 6 data sources (NCBI Gene, ClinVar, Taxonomy, PubMed, Sequences, UniProt).

Quick Start

pip install bioinformatics-mcp-server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bioinformatics": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["bioinformatics-mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

What Can You Do?

Ask your AI agent things like:

  • "Search for genes related to breast cancer"
  • "What clinical variants are known for BRCA1?"
  • "Find recent PubMed papers about CRISPR gene editing"
  • "Get the protein structure of human insulin from UniProt"
  • "What species does this organism belong to?"
