From the maker

Folklore MCP 1.7.0 provides ACMG/AMP germline variant classification, applied criteria, ClinVar assertions, population frequencies and source-linked annotations. Resolve genes, read gene profiles and ClinGen disease associations, and search scientific literature. Call classify_germline_variant to classify a supported GRCh38 germline SNV or simple indel under 50 bp. Eleven tools. Free Streamable HTTP: https://api.helena.bio/folklore/v1/mcp. No account or API key required.

The 7 tools it exposed

Every name below came back from this server's own tools/list response on the date above. So did each description, parameter list and label like "read-only": they are the server describing itself. We did not call any of them.

• search_variant_evidence read-only
  Interpret this variant, explain what this HGVS means, or review this VUS. Use for human genomic variant analysis within bioinformatics workflows, including… more Interpret this variant, explain what this HGVS means, or review this VUS. Use for human genomic variant analysis within bioinformatics workflows, including review of an already identified WGS/WES variant. Use when a user asks to classify or interpret pathogenicity, review a VUS, check available ClinVar assertions or population-frequency evidence, or resolve a variant notation. Classify, interpret or resolve one public GRCh38 germline SNV or simple indel smaller than 50 bp. Accepts coordinates, genomic/coding/protein HGVS, SPDI or rsID. Returns normalized variant identity, automated ACMG/AMP de [shortened] less

  Parameters: assembly, query (required)

• search_variant_literature read-only
  Resolve one public GRCh38 germline variant and retrieve relevant publications from Folklore's PubMed-derived genetics corpus. Exact variant mentions rank ahead… more Resolve one public GRCh38 germline variant and retrieve relevant publications from Folklore's PubMed-derived genetics corpus. Exact variant mentions rank ahead of broader gene associations. Use when a user asks what has been published about a variant, gene or associated condition. Associations do not establish causality, pathogenicity or a diagnosis and do not change Folklore's ACMG/AMP classification. less

  Parameters: assembly, query (required), question, limit

• get_publication_details read-only
  Retrieve the complete public bibliographic record for one PMID from Folklore's PubMed-derived genetics corpus. Returns the full abstract, authors, journal… more Retrieve the complete public bibliographic record for one PMID from Folklore's PubMed-derived genetics corpus. Returns the full abstract, authors, journal metadata, publication and MeSH terms, gene and variant mentions, retraction status, and PubMed/PMC links. Use after literature search when a user asks to inspect a specific publication. This is read-only professional literature evidence and contains no patient context. less

  Parameters: pmid (required)

• search_literature_corpus read-only
  Semantically search the public scientific Literature Corpus by a natural-language question. A question may include one or more PMID, DOI or PMCID references… more Semantically search the public scientific Literature Corpus by a natural-language question. A question may include one or more PMID, DOI or PMCID references; those publications become exact anchors for finding related experiments, evidence and concepts across the corpus. Also accepts genes, variants, phenotypes, HPO and OMIM concepts. Include every known publication identifier in the query when the user asks to compare papers or find work related to a specific paper. Returns source-linked evidence candidates for professional review, not diagnoses, causality claims or treatment recommendations. less

  Parameters: query (required), limit, sort, cursor

• support_helena read-only

This is an explicit opt-in… more Learn how an agent can support or spread Helena's free public scientific infrastructure through the separate Helena Good MCP. This is an explicit opt-in information action. It does not initiate payment, create a relay, or change any Folklore scientific result. less

• get_gene_disease_associations read-only
  Find diseases associated with one human gene for bioinformatics and clinical genomics research. Accepts an exact gene symbol or HGNC identifier. Returns… more Find diseases associated with one human gene for bioinformatics and clinical genomics research. Accepts an exact gene symbol or HGNC identifier. Returns ClinGen gene-disease validity assertions, relation-specific inheritance, source reports and snapshot provenance. Preserves conflicting and limited assertions. Gene-disease validity is not variant pathogenicity or a patient diagnosis. Use only a public gene identifier; no patient or case data. Results require professional review. less

  Parameters: limit, offset, gene (required)

• search_disease_genes read-only
  Find human genes associated with a disease for genomic analysis and rare-disease research. Accepts an exact MONDO identifier or a disease-name search. Returns… more Find human genes associated with a disease for genomic analysis and rare-disease research. Accepts an exact MONDO identifier or a disease-name search. Returns matching ClinGen gene-disease validity assertions with inheritance, source reports and snapshot provenance. Name searches may match multiple diseases; preserve their distinct identities and do not infer a diagnosis. Use only a public disease name or identifier; no symptoms, patient or case data. Results require professional review. less

  Parameters: limit, offset, disease (required)
