• 1

  A locally runnable MCP endpoint to expose biotools functionality to Claude Desktop or other agent frontends.

Description

This repository provides instructions to build a Docker image (biotools-mcp) that runs an MCP server and can be added to claude_desktop_config.json for use with Claude Desktop or run directly (e.g., via Cursor). It is intended to make local deployment and testing of the biotools MCP interface simple and portable via Docker. The README shows the docker build command and the exact configuration snippet to mount the repository and run the container.
