[Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context
Biomart mcp mcp server connects Biomart MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs developed by Anthropic. Here we use the MCP python-sdk to.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs developed by Anthropic. Here we use the MCP python-sdk to create a MCP server that interfaces with Biomart via the pybiomart package.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:
Cursor — Via Cusror's agent mode, other models can take advantage of MCP servers as well, such as those form OpenAI or DeepSeek. Click the cursor setting cogwheel andGlama — The Glama tool exposed by this serverDevelopment — The Development tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via npm as @smithery/cli, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Biomart MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Cursor, Glama, Development — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Build a programmable telecommunications stack for connecting telephony services with the Internet via a cloud-based utility.
Search built for AI, not humans — semantic web search that returns model-ready content, plus code context.
Answers, not links — delegate questions to Perplexity's search-grounded models and get cited responses back.
Give your assistant a voice — text-to-speech, voice cloning and audio tools from the ElevenLabs API.
Give your assistant a real code sandbox — isolated cloud VMs for actually running the code it writes.
The ML hub in your context window — search models, datasets, papers and run Spaces from the official server.
