Frequently asked questions
Biomcp is categorized under Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Sfda Drugs belongs to Biology, Medicine and Bioinformatics and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Biomcp for biology, medicine and bioinformatics work and Sfda Drugs for biology, medicine and bioinformatics.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.
Biomcp is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Sfda Drugs has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add genomoncology-biomcp and sfda-drugs as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
