MCP support
The MCP server exposes authorized WeGene reports as resources and provides tools to authorize, list profiles, inspect report metadata, and retrieve report results.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEwegene-assistant MCP server
MCP server for WeGene Assistant, using LLM to analyze a user's WeGene genetic testing report.
Components
Resources
Once a user is authorized, all the reports under his/her account will be exposed as a resource:
- Custom wegene:// URI scheme for accessing each individual report
- A report resource has a name, description and application/json mimetype
Tools
The server implements one tool:
- wegene-oauth: Start a WeGene Open API oAuth process in the browser
- The user should complete the authorization in 120 seconds so LLM will be able to further access the reports.
- wegene-get-profiles: Read the profile list under a user's WeGene account
- Profiles' name and id will be returned for LLM to use.
- wegene-get-report-info: Return the report meta info so LLM will know what reports are available.
- A list of report names, descriptions, endpoints, etc. will be returned
- wegene-get-report: Read the results of a single report under a profile
- Returns the result JSON specified in WeGene's Open API platform
- Arguements
- report_endpoint: The report's endpoint to be retrieved from
- report_id: The report's id to be retrieved
- profile_id: The profile id to retrieve report from

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.
