Overview

A real, actively maintained (628 GitHub stars at review time, pushed the same day as this review) MCP server, also distributed as the biomcp-cli CLI binary, that reaches roughly 30 trusted biomedical sources through one command grammar: PubMed/PubTator3, ClinVar, ClinicalTrials.gov, OncoKB, Reactome, and more, confirmed directly from the project's own README and server.json. ClinVar and ClinicalTrials.gov are the two sources this registry's admission bar cares about most directly: clinical variant significance classification and clinical-trial matching are concrete genomics and health-research workflows, not vague health-adjacent branding.

MIT licence confirmed by direct fetch of the repository's own root LICENSE file (Copyright 2025 Ian Maurer), not from GitHub's derived metadata alone.

Recorded as a marginal fit, plainly: BioMCP wraps public genomics and clinical databases directly rather than implementing or wrapping a named GA4GH API specification, and it carries no GA4GH-aligned (or any) access-control layer, since it queries open public APIs. It clears this registry's admission bar on the weaker of the two relevance tests, a real genomics/health data source exposed as MCP tools, with a concrete rather than vague relevance fact, but not the stronger named-GA4GH-standard or GA4GH-aligned-access-control test.
