概要

What is 🧬 Ensembl API MCP Server?

A full-featured Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Ensembl’s REST API through 10 biologically grouped tools. Built with the TypeScript MCP SDK, it offers comprehensive coverage of Ensembl endpoints (genes, variants, sequences, comparative genomics, and more) in a production‑ready, biologist‑friendly interface.

How to use 🧬 Ensembl API MCP Server?

Install via Smithery (e.g. npx -y @smithery/cli install @effieklimi/ensembl-mcp-server --client claude) or clone the repository, run npm install, then configure your MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop) to point to the server’s start command. For development, use npm run dev for hot reload. No API key is required.

Key features of 🧬 Ensembl API MCP Server

Cross‑references to external databases (UniProt, etc.)

Use cases of 🧬 Ensembl API MCP Server

Fetch gene details by ID or symbol across any species
Retrieve DNA, RNA, or protein sequences for genomic regions

FAQ from 🧬 Ensembl API MCP Server

How is this different from calling the Ensembl REST API directly?

The server groups over 100 raw endpoints into 10 logical tools based on biological tasks, includes built‑in rate limiting, and handles error responses in a consistent way—making it easier for biologists and AI agents to query Ensembl.

What are the runtime dependencies?

Node.js and npm must be installed on the machine running the server. The server uses
