Research use only
Scope and limitations
Use GeneFoundry for research. Review source records and documentation before relying on a result.
Research use
GeneFoundry is not clinical decision support.
Catalog and availability
Catalog entries and tool counts describe the website’s published inventory. A listed integration may be unavailable.
Source evidence
Coverage, versions and response fields depend on the source and integration. Check the original record and note missing information.
AI summaries
An AI-generated answer may misread or omit evidence. Review it against the source response.
Access and source terms
Hosted OAuth sign-in is separate from upstream credentials and source terms. Review the relevant source and integration documentation.
Examples
Recorded examples show dated source responses and link to their records. A captured result describes that execution; later source responses may differ.
Questions before you connect
What is GeneFoundry?
GeneFoundry brings a catalog of biomedical MCP servers behind one hosted endpoint. A compatible AI client uses MCP to discover and call tools.
Do I need to sign in?
Yes. The hosted endpoint uses OAuth browser sign-in. Your AI client may also require its own account or access plan.
Which client should I use?
Start with the client you already use. We provide guide pages for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI and VS Code. Each page states whether its setup recipe has been verified.
Does one connection include every biomedical database?
No. The source catalog lists the integrations included in this website’s catalog. Browse it to find the source you need.
Where does the data come from?
The catalog links each integration to a named upstream source. Check the returned record and source documentation when interpreting data. An AI-generated summary can contain errors.
Do I need upstream API keys?
Signing in to GeneFoundry is separate from configuring credentials for an upstream service. Check the router and source integration documentation for the requirements of your deployment.
Can I use GeneFoundry for clinical decisions?
GeneFoundry is for research use only and is not clinical decision support.
How can I report a problem?
Use the router repository to report a connection issue, or the source integration repository for a source-specific issue. Include reproducible steps and remove credentials and personal data.
