About
Enables resolving genetic variant identifiers (HGVS, dbSNP, ClinVar, gnomAD) to stable ClinGen Allele Registry IDs (CA#) and cross-references, providing a canonical allele identity across genome builds.
README
MCP server wrapping the ClinGen Allele Registry (https://reg.clinicalgenome.org) — canonical allele identity for genetic variants. Resolves any HGVS / dbSNP / ClinVar / gnomAD reference to a stable ClinGen Allele Registry ID (CA#) and its cross-references, so a variant keeps one identity across genome builds and transcript versions.
Cloudflare Worker built on McpAgent (agents/mcp), REST + Code Mode via @bio-mcp/shared. Read endpoints only; no auth. Dev port 8905.
Why it exists
tmVar3's ~550 GB of chromosome-sharded SQLite exists to turn an HGVS string into a canonical allele. The Allele Registry does the same thing over a free public REST API — so we wrap the API instead of re-hosting the index. Every allele_registry_execute result carries a verifiable _meta.citation, and a CA# is a content-addressed allele identifier that drops straight into the fleet's attestation story.
Tools (Code Mode)
allele_registry_search— discover endpoints in the curated catalogallele_registry_execute— run JS against the API in a V8 isolate (api.get/api.post,searchSpec, no network/keys); results carry_meta.citationallele_registry_get_schema/allele_registry_query_data— inspect + SQL-query staged results
