Genefoundry MCP Server

A thin FastMCP 3.x aggregator that federates the GeneFoundry -link MCP fleet behind a single Streamable-HTTP endpoint. A host adds one server - genefoundry - and gets every biomedical backend with collision-free _ naming and search-based discovery.

Teams that work with api gateway, bioinformatics and clinical genetics and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Python.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as remote - your agent's requests go to genefoundry.org

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

registry namespace io.github.berntpopp is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Genefoundry can do
