Claude Desktop

Setup

Add BioContext7 to your Claude Desktop configuration file.

Platform	Path
macOS	`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
Windows	`%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "biocontext7": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@biocontext7/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

When api.biocontext7.com is deployed:

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

Restart Claude Desktop to pick up the new MCP server configuration.

Once configured, ask Claude to use BioContext7 tools:

"Search for RNA-seq alignment tools"
"Get documentation for BWA"
"What bioinformatics tools handle FASTQ files?"
