Abstract
BioMCP is a web-accessible, Model Context Protocol(MCP)-enabled biomedical research assistant that helps users search scientific literature, genes, and proteins through natural language. It connects large language models with structured biomedical tools and public data sources, allowing researchers to ask domain questions in plain language while transparently seeing which tools were called and what results were returned. BioMCP currently supports literature, gene, and protein search through a browser-based interface and a deployable containerized service. We also plan to integrate additional capabilities such as deeper protein structure analysis, richer clinical interpretation, and broader biomedical knowledge sources.
2. What genes or proteins are associated with a biomedical question, and what related evidence can I retrieve?
3. What literature is available to help me investigate a specific gene or protein of interest?
