Allows to retrieve information about an AnnData object via MCP using the `read_lazy` function from `anndata`.

## Getting started

Please refer to the [documentation][],
in particular, the [API documentation][].

You can also find the project on [BioContextAI](https://biocontext.ai), the community-hub for biomedical MCP servers: [anndata-mcp on BioContextAI](https://biocontext.ai/registry/biocontext-ai/anndata-mcp).

## Installation

You need to have Python 3.11 or newer installed on your system.
If you don't have Python installed, we recommend installing [uv][].

There are several alternative options to install anndata-mcp:

1. Use `uvx` to run it immediately:

```bash
uvx anndata-mcp
```

2. Include it in one of various clients that supports the `mcp.json` standard, please use:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anndata-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["anndata-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

3. Install it through `pip`:

```bash
pip install --user anndata-mcp
```

4. Install the latest development version:

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/biocontext-ai/anndata-mcp.git@main
```
