As a core developer, I wanted to share gget-mcp with the community. It's a tool that wraps the popular get library and provides a rich set of functionalities for sequence analysis, functional genomics, and structural biology that AI chatbots can call.
It can be used to answer questions like:
- "Find information about the human TP53 gene and get its protein sequence."
"Perform enrichment analysis for a set of cancer-related genes: TP53, BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, CHEK2." "Get the 3D structure information for the protein encoded by the EGFR gene from AlphaFold."
"Find mutations in the COSMIC database for the PIK3CA gene." "Perform a BLAST search with the DNA sequence 'ATGGCGCCCGAACAGGGAC' to identify its origin."
- "Align multiple protein sequences to find conserved regions."
Because it's an MCP server, you can easily add it to chatbots (like Claude Desktop) or IDEs (like Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code Copilot) to access these features directly from your AI-powered chat.
The tool is available at: https://github.com/longevity-genie/gget-mcp
