At a glance: 40+ MCP servers across genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, clinical trials, medical imaging, and healthcare interoperability. Integrated platforms lead: biomcp (241 stars) and Anthropic's life-sciences marketplace (259 stars). Rating: 4/5.
Integrated Platforms
biomcp (241 stars)
The most popular standalone biomedical MCP — a single-binary CLI and MCP server querying ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, genomic variants, and more. Python, MIT licensed, 12 entity types.
Anthropic life-sciences (259 stars)
Official Anthropic marketplace with PubMed, BioRender, 10x Genomics skills. The largest curated set of biomedical MCP integrations.
Protein & Chemical Databases
Augmented-Nature maintains 10+ servers wrapping every major biological database:
| Server | Stars | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| ChEMBL-MCP-Server | 78 | 22 tools, drug discovery, ADMET |
| PubChem-MCP-Server | 35 | 30 tools, 110M+ compounds |
| UniProt-MCP-Server | 18 | 26 tools, protein research |
| PDB-MCP-Server | 21 | Protein Data Bank structures |
Literature & Clinical Research
PubMed: JackKuo666/PubMed-MCP-Server (105 stars — search, PDF download, deep analysis) and cyanheads/pubmed-mcp-server (66 stars — NCBI E-utilities, multi-format citations).
Clinical trials: Cicatriiz/healthcare-mcp-public (102 stars — 9 tools spanning FDA, PubMed, ClinicalTrials, ICD-10, DICOM) and cyanheads/clinicaltrialsgov-mcp-server (59 stars — patient matching, trend analysis).
Sequence Analysis & Systems Biology
- bio-mcp organization — BLAST, BWA, SeqKit, AMBER, InterPro servers
- longevity-genie/gget-mcp (27 stars) — ~15 tools wrapping gget library, BLAST, AlphaFold
- Reactome, OpenTargets, BioThings servers for pathway analysis and gene-drug-disease associations
Healthcare Interoperability
- jmandel/health-record-mcp — SMART on FHIR EHR access
- wso2/fhir-mcp-server — expose any FHIR server as MCP
- Cicatriiz healthcare-mcp-public — DICOM metadata
Gaps
No direct AlphaFold MCP, no Galaxy workflow wrapper, limited single-cell pipeline support, no KEGG/Reactome pathway visualization, minimal medical imaging.
Rating: 4/5 — One of the deepest scientific MCP categories. Protein databases, literature search, and clinical trials are well-covered. Integrated platforms (biomcp, Anthropic marketplace) make entry easy. Gaps in imaging and workflow tools keep it from 5/5.
