### Description (declared)

# PhenoWorks MCP

Connect your AI assistant to PhenoWorks with the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
The assistant can find projects and datasets, inspect analysis modules, run
pipelines, and retrieve results using your PhenoWorks account permissions.

This package runs the MCP server that your assistant connects to. You need a
running PhenoWorks server and an MCP-compatible assistant; installing this
package does not install PhenoWorks or provide an AI model.

## Before you start

- Use **Python 3.11 or newer**.
- Have your PhenoWorks server URL, such as `https://your-phenoworks-server`.
- Create an API key in your PhenoWorks account settings.

Your server URL is the address of your own PhenoWorks installation, not the
public documentation website. Both the server root and a URL ending in `/api`
are accepted.

## Install

Install from PyPI in a Python virtual environment:

```bash
pip install phenoworks-mcp
phenoworks-mcp --help
```

The PhenoWorks Python SDK and MCP runtime are installed automatically. To
upgrade an existing installation, run `pip install --upgrade phenoworks-mcp`.

If you already use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/), you can run the package
without a separate install command:

```bash
uvx phenoworks-mcp --help
```

## Connect to Claude Desktop

Follow the [Claude Desktop setup tutorial](docs/claude-desktop.md) to create a
dedicated uv environment, configure your local PhenoWorks connection, and start
chatting with Claude.

## Connect over local HTTP

For a client that accepts a Streamable HTTP MCP URL, start the server in a
terminal. For example, in a macOS or Linux shell:

```bash
export PHENOWORKS_API_BASE_URL="https://your-phenoworks-server"
export PHENOWORKS_PUBLIC_URL="https://your-phenoworks-app"
export PHENOWORKS_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
phenoworks-mcp
```

Leave the process running and add this **MCP server URL** to your assistant:

```text
http://127.0.0.1:8787/mcp
```

There are three relevant URLs: `PHENOWORKS_API_BASE_URL` points to the
Ph…
