Connects your AI agent to cBioPortal, the open source cancer genomics platform. While the source doesn't list specific tools, this is part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem that routes requests through a natural language interface. Instead of calling structured API endpoints, you ask questions in plain English via ask_pipeworx and it handles tool selection and argument mapping automatically. Useful when you need to query tumor mutation data, patient cohorts, or genomic profiles without manually constructing cBioPortal API calls. Runs over streamable HTTP, so no local installation needed. You can connect to just the cBioPortal endpoint or the full Pipeworx gateway for 808+ data sources.
cBioPortal MCP — cancer genomics portal.
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 808+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"cbioportal": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/cbioportal/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 808+ 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 Cbioportal data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
