Unsigned
Overview
Bundled Claude Code / MCP skill for GA4GH htsget, shipped alongside the `@deepseek-ai/dsh-ga4gh-htsget` Cordis plugin and standalone MCP server in the `ga4gh-plugins` monorepo. Request GA4GH htsget tickets (byte-range URLs) for reads or variants from a configured htsget server. Use when the user asks to fetch or stream genomic reads/variants over htsget, wants byte-range URLs for a BAM/CRAM/VCF/BCF object, or is integrating with the GA4GH htsget streaming-retrieval standard.
