Add BioContext7 to your AI coding assistant. Every client below supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and can connect via local stdio or remote HTTP.
Sends an MCP initialize request to https://biocontext7-api.fly.dev/mcp
Quick start
npx @biocontext7/mcpRuns the BioContext7 MCP server locally via stdio. Point any MCP-compatible client at this command.
The four primary setup paths surfaced above the fold.
One-click install

docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/hordago-labs/biocontext7-mcpRun the official BioContext7 MCP container. Use with any MCP client that supports stdio by setting the command to docker and the args to the run parameters above.
| Transport | Command | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| stdio | npx @biocontext7/mcp | Local IDE usage (default) |
| SSE | npx @biocontext7/mcp --transport sse | Streaming clients |
| HTTP | npx @biocontext7/mcp --transport http | Remote / shared access |
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BIOCONTEXT7_API_URL | https://biocontext7-api.fly.dev | Backend API base URL |
| BIOCONTEXT7_API_KEY | — | API key for authentication |
| PORT | 3100 | Port for SSE / HTTP transports |
Server not starting?
Make sure Node.js 18+ is installed and npx is available on your PATH. Run npx @biocontext7/mcp directly in your terminal to test.
Tools not appearing?
Restart your IDE after adding the MCP config. Some clients require a full restart rather than just a reload.
Connection timeout?
For remote HTTP configs, verify that https://biocontext7-api.fly.dev/mcp is reachable from your network. Switch to local stdio as a fallback.
