SCMCP

An MCP server for scRNA-Seq analysis with natural language!

🪩 What can it do?

  • IO module like read and write scRNA-Seq data with natural language
  • 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
  • cell-cell communication analysis

❓ Who is this for?

  • Anyone who wants to do scRNA-Seq analysis natural language!
  • Agent developers who want to call scanpy's functions for their applications

🌐 Where to use it?

You can use scmcp in most AI clients, plugins, or agent frameworks that support the MCP:

  • AI clients, like Cherry Studio
  • Plugins, like Cline
  • Agent frameworks, like Agno

  "scmcp": {
    "command": "scmcp",
    "args": [
      "run"
    ]
  }
}

run scnapy-server remotely

Refer to the following configuration in your MCP client:

run it in your server

scmcp run --transport sse --port 8000

Then configure your MCP client, like this:

http://localhost:8000/sse
