MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for OpenGenes database

This server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for OpenGenes, providing a standardized interface for accessing aging and longevity research data. MCP enables AI assistants and agents to query comprehensive biomedical datasets through structured interfaces.

The server automatically downloads the latest OpenGenes database and documentation from Hugging Face Hub (specifically from the opengenes folder), ensuring you always have access to the most up-to-date data without manual file management.

The OpenGenes database contains:

• lifespan_change: Experimental data about genetic interventions and their effects on lifespan across model organisms
• gene_criteria: Criteria classifications for aging-related genes (12 different categories)
• gene_hallmarks: Hallmarks of aging associated with specific genes
• longevity_associations: Genetic variants associated with longevity from population studies

If you want to understand more about what the Model Context Protocol is and how to use it more efficiently, you can take the DeepLearning AI Course or search for MCP videos on YouTube.
