Connects Claude to the European Bioinformatics Institute's BioStudies database, a repository for biological study metadata and supplementary data. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which routes requests across 832+ data sources. The server supports a natural language interface through ask_pipeworx, so you can query BioStudies data without drilling into specific tool signatures. Useful when you're working with research data pipelines and need programmatic access to study metadata, experimental datasets, or supplementary files from molecular biology and genomics research. The streamable HTTP transport makes it easy to drop into any MCP client without local deployment.
EBI BioStudies MCP.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 832+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"biostudies": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/biostudies/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 832+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Biostudies data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
