One thing to look at
- no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.

BioMCP Server
Deploy and operate the BioMCP server so MCP-compatible clients (Claude Desktop, LobeChat, etc.) can query biomedical databases via a single standardized interface.
When to Use
- Unified literature search (PubMed/PMC) inside MCP clients.
- Entity normalization via PubTator3 or genomic variant lookups.
- ClinicalTrials.gov queries without bespoke API wrappers.
Core Capabilities
- PubMed/PMC search: Execute complex literature queries.
- PubTator3 annotations: Map text to genes, diseases, chemicals, species.
- ClinicalTrials.gov: Retrieve trial metadata/protocols.
- Genomic variant lookups: Fetch variant/gene summaries from connected sources.
Deployment Workflow
- Install deps:
cd repo && uv sync(preferred) orpip install .. - Run server:
python -m biomcp.serverormake run; Docker Compose provided. - Configure client: Add command/args snippet from
README.mdinto MCP client config (Claude Desktop, BioKernel, etc.). - Test tools: Invoke PubMed + ClinicalTrials + variant endpoints to ensure connectivity.
- Monitor: Capture logs, rate-limit statuses, and data-source versions for audit.
Guardrails
- Keep API keys/env secrets outside the repo.
- Respect upstream rate limits to avoid throttling or bans.
- Document which data sources are enabled per deployment and update when they change.
References
- Source repo + configuration examples in
README.md,repo/docker-compose.yml, andrepo/Makefile.
