About decoupler-MCP

decoupler-MCP provides a natural-language interface to decoupler for scRNA-Seq analysis. It is intended for researchers and agent developers, with tools for data handling, biological activity inference, analysis, and plotting.

Key features

  1. 01Read and write scRNA-Seq data
  2. 02Infer pathway and transcription-factor activity
  3. 03Run clustering and differential expression
  4. 04Create violin and UMAP/t-SNE plots

Use cases

  1. 01Exploring scRNA-Seq data through natural language
  2. 02Inferring pathway activity in expression data
  3. 03Building agents that call decoupler functions

MCP support

It exposes decoupler analysis functions through MCP for compatible AI clients, plugins, and agent frameworks; it can run locally or as a remote server.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

No install method listed yet

We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Details

From the project README

decoupler-MCP

Natural language interface for scRNA-Seq analysis with decoupler through MCP.

🪩 What can it do?

  • IO module like read and write scRNA-Seq data
  • Pathway activity/Transcription factor inference
  • Tool module, like clustering, differential expression etc.
  • Plotting module, like violin, umap/tsne

❓ Who is this for?

  • Anyone who wants to do scRNA-Seq analysis natural language!
  • Agent developers who want to call decoupler's functions for their applications

🌐 Where to use it?

You can use decoupler-mcp in most AI clients, plugins, or agent frameworks that support the MCP:

  • AI clients, like Cherry Studio
  • Plugins, like Cline
  • Agent frameworks, like Agno

🏎️ Quickstart

Install

Install from PyPI

pip install decoupler-mcp

you can test it by running

decoupler-mcp run
run decoupler-mcp locally

Refer to the following configuration in your MCP client:

check path

$ which decoupler 
/home/test/bin/decoupler-mcp
"mcpServers": {
  "decoupler-mcp": {
    "command": "/home/test/bin/decoupler-mcp",
    "args": [
      "run"
    ]
  }
}
run decoupler-server remotely

Refer to the following configuration in your MCP client:

run it in your server

decoupler-mcp run --transport shttp --port 8000

Then configure your MCP client in local AI client, like this:


"mcpServers": {
  "decoupler-mcp": {
    "url": "http://localhost:8000/mcp"
  }
}

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
