- Retrieve detailed information about a SNP by its rs ID
- Search for SNPs using gene names, phenotypes, or other terms
- Obtain clinical significance data for specific variants
Install the required dependencies with pip install mcp requests, then install the server using mcp install server.py. Optionally, add an NCBI API key for higher rate limits via mcp install server.py -v NCBI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here. Use the provided functions: get_snp_by_rs, search_snps, and get_snp_clinical_significance.
