MCP server providing LLMs with conversational access to plant genomics databases (PhytoMine, KEGG, Ensembl Plants, UniProt)
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"phytodata-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.
Everything here was measured by our prober or read from a registry. Nothing is self-reported.

# PhytoData-MCP <div align="center"> <img src="logo.jpg" alt="PhytoData-MCP Logo" width="200" /> </div> > Standalone MCP Server for Plant Genomics PhytoData-MCP solves the problem of siloed plant genomics databases by exposing the four most important plant genomics databases as Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. This allows LLMs (like Claude) to autonomously chain queries together and build a complete picture of a single gene's function, pathway membership, cross-species conservation, and protein behavior.    ## Features - **PhytoMine (Phytozome):** Query GO terms, Pfam domains, and KO IDs for given genes. - **KEGG:** Look up pathways from KO IDs or EC numbers. - **Ensembl Plants:** Find orthologous genes across multiple crop species. - **UniProt (Upcoming):** Subcellular localization and protein domains. ## Installation You can install `phytodata-mcp` directly from python: ```bash pip install phytodata-mcp ``` ### Development Installation To install for development, with testing dependencies: ```bash git clone https://github.com/zaeyasa/phytodata-mcp.git cd phytodata-mcp pip install -e .[dev] ``` ## Claude Desktop Configuration Add the server to your `claude_desktop_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "phytodata": { "command": "phytodata-mcp" } } } ``` ## Usage Example Once connected, you can ask Claude questions like: > *"Fetch the gene info for AT3G24650 in Arabidopsis, identify its KEGG pathway, and find its orthologs in wheat and tomato."* The LLM will automatically chain: 1. `phytomine_gene_info` -> Retrieves KO ID 2. `kegg_pathway_lookup` -> Uses KO ID to find pathways 3. `ensembl_plants_orthologs` -> Matches gene across target crops ## Tools Reference - **`phytomine_gene_info`**: Requires `gene_id` and `organism`. - **`kegg_…
