I'm one of the core developers and wanted to introduce opengenes-mcp, an MCP server for OpenGenes, the database on the genetics of aging and longevity
It's useful for answering research questions such as:
- "Which genetic interventions extended the lifespan of mice the most?"
- "What polymorphisms in FOXO3 are associated with human longevity?"
- "Which hallmarks of aging are associated with the KL (Klotho) gene?"
- "Are there any liver-specific interventions that increase lifespan in mice?"
- "Find genes that are associated with both longevity in human studies and have lifespan-extending effects in model organisms."
A key feature is that it's an MCP server, designed for easy integration with AI tools. You can connect it to AI chat clients like Claude or IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf to query the data conversationally.
The tool is available at: https://github.com/longevity-genie/opengenes-mcp
Usage example:
