All Clients

BioContext7 works with any MCP-compatible AI coding assistant. This page lists every supported client with exact configuration snippets.

For the interactive version with collapsible sections, visit the integrations page on the website.

Quick start

The fastest way to add BioContext7 to any client:

npx @biocontext7/mcp

This starts the MCP server via stdio. Point any MCP-compatible client at this command.

Remote HTTP (zero install)

When api.biocontext7.com is deployed, use the remote endpoint:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biocontext7": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.biocontext7.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
