Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@cellrank-mcpNormalize the dataset and show a violin plot for gene SOX2"
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.
cellrank-MCP
Natural language interface for scRNA-Seq analysis with cellrank through MCP.
đĒŠ What can it do?
IO module like read and write scRNA-Seq data
Preprocessing module,like filtering, quality control, normalization, scaling, highly-variable genes, PCA, Neighbors,...
Tool module, like clustering, differential expression etc.
Plotting module, like violin, heatmap, dotplot
â Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to do scRNA-Seq analysis natural language!
Agent developers who want to call cellrank's functions for their applications
đ Where to use it?
You can use cellrank-mcp in most AI clients, plugins, or agent frameworks that support the MCP:
AI clients, like Cherry Studio
Plugins, like Cline
Agent frameworks, like Agno
đ Documentation
scmcphub's complete documentation is available at https://docs.scmcphub.org
đŦ Demo
A demo showing scRNA-Seq cell cluster analysis in a AI client Cherry Studio using natural language based on cellrank-mcp
đī¸ Quickstart
Install
Install from PyPI
you can test it by running
run cellrank-mcp locally
Refer to the following configuration in your MCP client:
check path
run cellrank-server remotely
Refer to the following configuration in your MCP client:
run it in your server
Then configure your MCP client in local AI client, like this:
