What is the Biomcp MCP Server?

One binary. One grammar. Evidence from the biomedical sources you already trust.

What the server does

BioMCP is one CLI binary over a single command grammar that reaches ~30 trusted biomedical sources (PubMed, ClinVar, ClinicalTrials.gov, OncoKB, Reactome, and more). It is also an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so the same tools are available to AI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Claude Desktop.

  • Search the literature: — search article fans out across PubTator3 and
  • Pivot without rework: — move from a gene, variant, drug, disease, pathway,
  • Choose a playbook: — biomcp skill list shows shipped worked examples
  • Analyze studies locally: — study commands cover local query, cohort, survival,
  • Follow the paper trail: — article citations, article references,
  • Enrich and batch: — use biomcp enrich for top-level g:Profiler
