cxg-census-mcp
An open-source, community-maintained Model Context Protocol server that enables LLM agents to query the CZ CELLxGENE Discover Census single-cell RNA-seq atlas. It provides ontology-aware filtering using CL, UBERON, and EFO ontologies, manages query costs with caps, and ensures full provenance and attribution on every response. It is designed for integration with clients like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools to facilitate bioinformatics research and single-cell data exploration.
