MCPmed 🚧 work in progress

More info: https://mcpmed.org

Graphical Abstract

Heads-up: We’re still setting up—only this README is public for now. Watch or star the org to get notified when the code and registry go live.

MCPmed will make biomedical data services—APIs, databases, archives, and -omics portals—LLM-ready using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

MCPmed Template

Template for python mcp package

Find the template here. Ideally, you can use the template to create a new MCPmed package to wrap an existing API.

Other templates coming soon

Mission

  • Accelerate translational science – expose curated clinical and molecular datasets through self-describing MCP manifests so agents can query datasets, cohorts, or biomarkers programmatically.
  • Lower adoption barriers – ship MIT-licensed templates
