Folklore Clinical Variant Interpretation MCP
Official public MCP from Helena Bioinformatics for genomic variant interpretation, gene-disease evidence and scientific literature. Adapter version: 1.5.0.
Classify a supported GRCh38 germline variant under ACMG/AMP, find diseases associated with a gene, find genes associated with a disease, or review related publications with source provenance.

New in 1.5.0: gene-disease evidence
Ask your agent: “Which diseases are associated with BRCA1?”
{"name":"get_gene_disease_associations","arguments":{"gene":"BRCA1","limit":20,"offset":0}}Ask your agent: “Find genes associated with Fanconi anemia.”
{"name":"search_disease_genes","arguments":{"disease":"Fanconi anemia","limit":20,"offset":0}}The initial gene-disease source is ClinGen Gene-Disease Validity. Results preserve each assertion’s disease identity, inheritance, source classification, original report and snapshot provenance. Limited, disputed and refuted assertions remain distinguishable. Name searches can match multiple diseases. Pagination accepts a limit of 1–50 and offset of 0–1000.
Unavailable reference data and timeouts are reported as errors, not as proof that no association exists. Existing variant and literature tools are retained; this release does not change the variant classifier.
Scope
Gene-disease validity is different from the pathogenicity of an individual variant. Results support qualified professional review and are not patient diagnoses or treatment advice. Do not submit patient records, symptoms, family or private case data. This release does not add raw DNA/VCF ingestion, batch variant processing or patient-specific analysis.
