GeneBe MCP server

Which MCP servers are GeneBe's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namenet.genebe/genebe-mcpverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under genebe.net. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-22 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 602 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
  • Checked on 6 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "look up annotations for specific genetic variants or genes", the likely first call is annotate_variant.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

What an agent can do with it

  • can do · look up annotations for specific genetic variants or genes
  • not sure · annotate VCF files with ACMG scores and population frequencies
  • not sure · convert variant positions between hg19 and hg38 in batches

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • annotate_variant

    Annotate and classify one human genetic variant using GeneBe. Start here for any question about a variant (what is it, is it pathogenic/benign, how common is it). Returns the ACMG verdict with points and criteria, population frequency…

  • explain_acmg_decision_path

    Explain step by step why each classification criterion did or did not apply to a variant. Use after annotate_variant when the user asks "why was this classified that way?". Returns an ASCII rendering of the decision tree with the…

  • convert_variant

    Convert a variant written in any notation into normalized hg38 genomic coordinates. Use when you only need the chr/pos/ref/alt of a variant (for example to translate HGVS or an rsID), without annotation. Does not classify the variant; use…

  • get_variant_effects

    List a variant's predicted molecular consequences on every overlapping transcript. Returns per-transcript HGVS (c. and p.), consequence terms (e.g. missense_variant) and impact, most severe and MANE Select transcripts first. Lightweight…

  • get_gene

    Look up a human gene: identifiers, location, MANE Select transcript, ClinGen gene-disease validity. Use for questions about a gene rather than a specific variant. Transcripts are listed with MANE Select first and capped; check…

  • liftover_coordinate

    Convert a genomic position, interval or variant between genome builds (hg19, hg38, t2t). Check `status`: RESOLVED means one result, AMBIGUOUS means several candidates, anything else means it could not be mapped (see errors). For variants…

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "genebe-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.genebe.net/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http genebe https://mcp.genebe.net/v1/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://mcp.genebe.net/v1/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
