Expression Atlas MCP
An MCP server that provides tools to search and retrieve metadata for approximately 4,500 curated gene and protein expression experiments from the EBI Expression Atlas. It allows agents to filter experiments by keyword, species, tissues, and conditions, and to fetch detailed metadata for specific experiments using their accession identifiers.
Package and access
