Description

BioMCP is a server implementation that provides structured access to key biomedical databases through a unified interface. Developed by GenomOncology, it connects to ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed (via PubTator3), and MyVariant.info to enable searching and retrieving information about clinical trials, research articles, and genetic variants. The server exposes these capabilities as MCP tools that can be used by AI assistants to access up-to-date biomedical data, overcoming knowledge cutoff limitations. BioMCP handles entity normalization, intelligent rendering of complex data as Markdown, and transparent attribution of sources, making it valuable for biomedical research, clinical decision support, and literature review workflows.

Installation 

npx -y biomcp-python
npm install biomcp-python
