Folklore Clinical Variant Interpretation MCP
Official
Folklore MCP 1.5.0 is Helena Bioinformatics’ public, read-only bioinformatics MCP for genomic variant interpretation, ClinGen gene-disease evidence and literature. Seven tools include get_gene_disease_associations (gene symbol/HGNC ID to diseases) and search_disease_genes (MONDO ID/disease name to genes), preserving inheritance, source classifications and provenance. Existing GRCh38 germline variant and literature tools remain available, alongside the optional support_helena helper. Streamable HTTP; no account or API key. No patient data, raw DNA/VCF ingestion or batch processing. Results require professional review and are not diagnoses.
