Ensembl Mcp

Lets an assistant look up genome data from the Ensembl database without needing an API key.

What you can do

This MCP server provides genome lookup against Ensembl, a public reference for genome and gene data. It runs locally over stdio and, per the registry description, requires no key. The manifest lists no tools, so the exact lookup operations are not documented here.

When to use it

Worth adding when an assistant needs to retrieve genome or gene reference information from Ensembl during a task. It is a narrow, single-purpose lookup server, so it is only useful if that kind of biological data is relevant.

Requirements

Runs as a local process on the user's machine, installed from the npm package ensembl-mcp over stdio. Desktop only; no web execution. No authentication, environment variables, or headers are declared. Network access is implied by querying Ensembl.
