Documentation

BioContext7 provides up-to-date documentation for 2,000+ bioinformatics tools, optimized for AI coding assistants via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Quick Start

Add BioContext7 to your AI coding assistant in one command:

Claude Code

claude mcp add biocontext7 -- npx @biocontext7/mcp

Cursor

Add to your .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biocontext7": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "@biocontext7/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

MCP Tools

The BioContext7 MCP server provides two core tools:

resolve-library-id

Search 2,000+ bioinformatics tools by name or keyword. Returns matched tool IDs with metadata including registry source, domain, and documentation availability.

Example

"Find tools for RNA-seq differential expression"

get-library-docs

Fetch versioned documentation for a specific tool. Supports topic filtering and token budget control to fit within context windows.

Example

"Get DESeq2 documentation about normalization"
