Which integrations are available for this server?

Distributes the oakvar-mcp package for installation via pip, enabling integration of OakVar genomic variant analysis capabilities. Provides tools for querying and filtering OakVar SQLite result databases, executing SQL queries, and extracting genomic variant data from analysis results.

How do I use OakVar MCP Server?

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., "@OakVar MCP Server run annotation on my VCF file with gnomAD and ClinVar modules" 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.

OakVar MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes OakVar's genomic variant analysis capabilities to AI assistants.

Supported MCP Clients: Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients.

Quick Start

# 1. Install OakVar and the MCP server
pip install oakvar oakvar-mcp

# 2. Setup OakVar (first time only)
ov system setup

# 3. Configure your MCP client (see SETUP.md)

📖 Full setup instructions: See SETUP.md

What is This?

This MCP server lets you control OakVar through AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT. Instead of running command-line tools, you can simply ask:

"What OakVar modules are installed?"
"Install the ClinVar annotator"
"Run OakVar on my VCF file with gnomAD annotation"
"Show me pathogenic variants from the results"

Features

Category	Capabilities
Pipeline	Run annotations, generate reports (VCF, Excel, CSV)
Modules	Install, update, list, search 200+ annotator modules
Data	Query result databases, filter variants, export data
Development	Create module templates, pack for distribution
