How do I use OneKGPd?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@OneKGPd show me pathogenic variants in SCN5A with ClinVar annotations" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Macromolecular structural complexes

The MCM2-7 Complex (The "DNA Helicase Motor") is a molecular masterpiece. It’s a heterohexameric ring where each subunit is a distinct "gear" in the DNA-unzipping motor. Unlike homomeric rings (where every subunit is the same), this complex is asymmetric. Each interface between subunits is unique, and they don't all burn ATP at the same rate. The MCM2/5 interface is the "gate" that must physically open to allow DNA to enter the ring and then snap shut. This is a high-stress mechanical point.
Identify individuals in the KGP cohort carrying missense variants at the MCM2/5 interface. Specifically, look for 'charge-reversal' variants (e.g., Aspartate to Lysine). In these specific samples, analyze the 'compensatory coupling': do they carry a secondary, reciprocal charge-reversal variant on the opposing subunit interface that restores the electrostatic 'latch' ?
Identify individuals in the KGP cohort who carry high-pathogenicity variants in the Walker A or Walker B motifs (the ATP-burning heart) of any MCM subunit in MCM2-7 Complex. For these individuals, perform a 'Systemic Flux' analysis: look at their variants in the leading-strand polymerase (POLE) and the sliding clamp (PCNA). Do you detect a signature of 'Coordinated Deceleration' where the motor, the clamp, and the polymerase all carry variants that suggest a slower but highly-accurate replication fork ?

Macromolecular structural complexes

The human RNA Exosome (Exo-9 core) is a "dead machine" that acts as a scaffold. In lower organisms the ring itself can degrade RNA. In humans, the 9-subunit ring has lost all its catalytic teeth and is purely a structural tunnel that guides RNA into the catalytic subunits (DIS3 or EXOSC10) attached at the bottom. Since RNA is a highly negatively charged polymer, the residues lining this pore are typically positively charged (Lysine, Arginine), but not too "sticky" or RNA will jam. So, to reach the "shredder" at the bottom it must slide through a narrow pore formed by the Exo-9 ring.
The task: analyse all missense variants in the KGP cohort that map to the internal pore-lining residues of the Exo-9 ring. Look for 'charge-swap' variants where a positive residue (K, R) is replaced by a negative one (D, E). If an individual is healthy despite having a 'negative patch' in the tunnel that should repel RNA, do they carry a compensatory variant in the cap subunits (EXOSC1, 2, 3) that widens the entrance? Use a 3D electrostatic surface map to determine if the 'healthy' cohort maintains a specific electrostatic gradient.

Synergistic Epistasis in Redox Homeostasis

Cellular redox homeostasis is maintained by two parallel antioxidant systems: the glutathione system and the thioredoxin system. Complete loss of either GSR or TXNRD1 is incompatible with mammalian development, yet population databases contain individuals carrying variants predicted to impair enzyme function.

Identify clusters of individuals in the KGP cohort who carry multiple 'Moderate' impact VEP variants across both systems. Reasoning through the AlphaMissense structural implications, can you detect a 'balancing act' where a loss of efficiency in Glutathione reductase is consistently paired with high-confidence benign or potentially activating variants in the Thioredoxin system ? Synthesize a model of 'Redox Robustness' based on the co-occurrence of these variants across the cohort.

Macromolecular structural complexes

Treat the 26S Proteasome as a mechanically redundant 3D machine and map every missense variant from the KGP individuals across all 33 subunits. Perform a spatial analysis to determine if pathogenic variation is statistically partitioned toward the distal 'Lid' (Zone C) rather than the more evolutionary constrained 'Core' (Zone A) or 'Gating' (Zone B) interfaces. Identify individuals with a high cumulative burden (2+ 'Likely Pathogenic' variants) to investigate inter-subunit compensation, searching for paired 'weakening' and 'stabilizing' mutations at protein-protein hinges. Finally, define the 'mechanical tolerance' of the proteasome by establishing the maximum cumulative structural disruption observed in a single healthy individual based on AlphaMissense scores and calculated ΔΔG values.

Installation

Project can be run locally with MCP over stdio and/or http transports

Option A - build & run locally

build the project and package it as a single über-jar:
- jar is located in target/onekgpd-mcp-runner.jar and includes all dependencies

./mvnw clean package -DskipTests -Dquarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar

with skipping test compilation

./mvnw clean package -Dmaven.test.skip=true -Dquarkus.package.jar.type=uber-jar

run it locally with dev profile
- both stdio and http transports are enabled
- http transport is on quarkus http.port
- project expects JRE 21 to be available at runtime

java -Dquarkus.profile=dev -jar <full path>/onekgpd-mcp-runner.jar

Option B - build & run in docker

in order to run in docker, stdio transport needs to be disabled to prevent application from stopping itself due to closed stdio in containers
- it's already configured in prod profile
- it's the default configuration overall
build with prod profile

docker build -f Dockerfile -t onekgpd-mcp .

run as you prefer, e.g.

docker run -p 9000:9000 --name onekgpd-mcp --rm onekgpd-mcp

Option C - pull from Docker Hub

pull prebuilt image; stdio transport disabled, http transport on port 9000

docker pull dnaerys/onekgpd-mcp:latest

run

docker run -p 9000:9000 --name onekgpd-mcp --rm onekgpd-mcp

Connecting with MCP clients

to connect via http transport, remote or local, simply direct the client to a destination, e.g. http://localhost:9000/mcp or https://db.dnaerys.org:443/mcp
- NB: Claude Desktop won't work with http://localhost:9000/mcp option (e.g. when running MCP server in a docker container). This option is for clients like Goose.
to connect via stdio transport, MCP client should start application with dev profile and with a full path to the jar file
- e.g. for Claude Desktop add to config files (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):

{ "mcpServers": { "OneKGPd": { "command": "java", "args": ["-Dquarkus.profile=dev", "-jar", "/full/path/onekgpd-mcp-runner.jar"] } } }
