What is the key difference between Workbench and Genomic Intelligence?

Workbench belongs to the Biology & Bioinformatics category with cloud HTTP/SSE execution, while Genomic Intelligence belongs to the Biology & Bioinformatics category with cloud HTTP/SSE execution.

How do I install Workbench or Genomic Intelligence in Claude Desktop or Cursor?

Copy the mcpServers JSON configuration snippet provided on this page into your claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json file and restart your AI client.

Are Workbench and Genomic Intelligence free or paid?

Workbench operates under a Free / Open Source model (No auth required). Genomic Intelligence operates under a Free / Open Source model (No auth required).

Which MCP server has more tools and community activity?

Workbench lists 0 tools with 0 views and 0 GitHub stars. Genomic Intelligence lists 0 tools with 0 views and 0 GitHub stars.

Can I use both Workbench and Genomic Intelligence together in the same MCP host?

Yes! MCP hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code support configuring multiple servers under the mcpServers object simultaneously.

How do I install Workbench or Genomic Intelligence in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf?

Both servers follow the standard Model Context Protocol configuration format. Simply copy the JSON block from the configuration section above and paste it into your AI client's mcpServers configuration object (for instance in claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json ), then completely restart or refresh the application.

Are Workbench and Genomic Intelligence free to use, or do they require API keys?

Workbench is listed under a Free / Open Source model with No auth required . Genomic Intelligence operates under a Free / Open Source model with No auth required . If environment variables are required (such as API keys), be sure to define them under the env key in your MCP client's configuration file.

Can I run both Workbench and Genomic Intelligence at the same time in my AI client?

Yes! MCP clients support multi-server orchestration. You can include both workbench and genomic-intelligence as distinct keys inside the single mcpServers object in your configuration file. Your AI assistant will automatically select and call the appropriate tool from either server during chat sessions.

Which MCP server has higher directory engagement and quality ratings?

On AllMCPs, Workbench has a Quality Score of 30 /100 ( Emerging ) with 0 views, 0 installs, and 0 GitHub stars. Genomic Intelligence holds a Quality Score of 30 /100 ( Emerging ) with 0 views, 0 installs, and 0 GitHub stars.
