Hosted MCP server

smarts.bio runs a managed MCP server at mcp.smarts.bio that speaks Streamable HTTP, so URL-based assistants — ChatGPT, Claude on the web, and Gemini — can connect natively. Authentication is one-click OAuth; there's no API key to paste.

Connector URL

Add this as a remote / custom connector in any MCP-compatible client:

https://mcp.smarts.bio/mcp

Include the /mcp path — the bare hostname won't resolve to the message endpoint.

ChatGPT

Open Settings → Connectors (developer mode enabled).
Add a connector with the URL https://mcp.smarts.bio/mcp.
Authentication: OAuth. Complete the sign-in and consent.
The smarts.bio tools become available in chat.

Claude

Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
Enter the URL https://mcp.smarts.bio/mcp.
Complete the OAuth sign-in, then enable the tools you want.

Prefer Claude Desktop or Claude Code? They can also run the local MCP server.

Gemini & other clients

Any MCP client that supports remote (Streamable HTTP) servers with OAuth can connect using the same URL. Point your client's remote-MCP configuration at https://mcp.smarts.bio/mcp.

What you can do

Ask the agent biology questions, run tools like BLAST and GATK, start and track pipelines, and browse, read, and open your workspace files in interactive viewers — all from the chat. See the full tool list.
