GeneBe tools (6)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsannotate_variantFreeAnnotate and classify one human genetic variant using GeneBe. Start here for any question about a variant (what is it, is it pathogenic/benign, how common is it). Returns the ACMG verdict with points and criteria, population frequency (gnomAD), predictor scores (REVEL, AlphaMissense, SpliceAI, ...), ClinVar status, transcript consequences, and links to the GeneBe page to cite. Research use only; not a diagnosis.
convert_variantFreeConvert a variant written in any notation into normalized hg38 genomic coordinates. Use when you only need the chr/pos/ref/alt of a variant (for example to translate HGVS or an rsID), without annotation. Does not classify the variant; use annotate_variant for that.
explain_acmg_decision_pathFreeExplain step by step why each classification criterion did or did not apply to a variant. Use after annotate_variant when the user asks "why was this classified that way?". Returns an ASCII rendering of the decision tree with the evaluated conditions. By default it explains the germline ACMG verdict that annotate_variant returns; the somatic trees 'oncogenicity' (2022) and 'acgs-uk-onco' (2025) can be requested explicitly. Research use only.
get_geneFreeLook up a human gene: identifiers, location, MANE Select transcript, ClinGen gene-disease validity. Use for questions about a gene rather than a specific variant. Transcripts are listed with MANE Select first and capped; check total_transcripts.
get_variant_effectsFreeList a variant's predicted molecular consequences on every overlapping transcript. Returns per-transcript HGVS (c. and p.), consequence terms (e.g. missense_variant) and impact, most severe and MANE Select transcripts first. Lightweight: no frequencies or classification.
liftover_coordinateFreeConvert a genomic position, interval or variant between genome builds (hg19, hg38, t2t). Check `status`: RESOLVED means one result, AMBIGUOUS means several candidates, anything else means it could not be mapped (see errors). For variants, ref/alt are rebuilt against the target reference and warnings such as REF_MISMATCH may apply.

🧬 GeneBe MCP
Give your AI assistant real variant-interpretation data instead of guesses.
Annotate and classify human genetic variants (ACMG, gnomAD, ClinVar, in-silico predictors) from Claude, Cursor, VS Code and any other MCP client, powered by GeneBe.

Why
Language models are bad at remembering the clinical status of a specific variant. They sound confident and are often wrong. GeneBe MCP lets the assistant look the variant up and answer from data: a transparent, points-based ACMG classification with every criterion explained, together with population frequencies, predictor scores, ClinVar and transcript consequences.
"Is NM005577.4:c.4195A>C benign?"*
"What is chr6-160585140-T-G? Explain why it is classified that way."
"Convert rs41272110 to hg38 and list its consequences on each transcript."
For example, chr6-160585140-T-G (rs41272110, LPA) comes back as Benign, −9 points with criteria BA1 and BP4, plus the data behind them and a link to the GeneBe page.
What you get
impact), gene details with MANE Select and ClinGen gene–disease validity.
- Any notation in: genomic coordinates, HGVS, rsID or SPDI; hg19, hg38 and T2T supported through liftover.
- Verdict you can audit: ACMG classification with points and the reasoning for each criterion, not a black-box label.
- Evidence in one call: gnomAD frequencies, in-silico predictors, ClinVar, per-transcript consequences (HGVS c./p.,
structured data that follows the tool's output schema.
- Compact answers: large lists are capped, so one call costs roughly 1–3k tokens, and every result also carries
- Links back to GeneBe, so the human can check the source.

GeneBe: common questions
- Is GeneBe MCP server safe?
- Yes, by our scan: it is graded A (87/100). Read the GeneBe safety report
- How do I install GeneBe?
- It runs remotely at mcp.genebe.net. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop with the snippets above, or call it through the mcp.market gateway without installing anything.
- Does GeneBe need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is GeneBe maintained?
- The last commit was 13 days ago (2026-10-22). The latest release is v0.1.0.
- Is GeneBe up?
- 100% of our last 28 checks got an answer. We check remote servers about four times a day.
- How does GeneBe compare with other MCP servers?
- safety score 87/100 (higher than 73% of 48,255 servers); tools 6 (the typical server has 7); tools that change things 0% (typical: 0%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
