The smarts.bio Connector: Run Bioinformatics Inside ChatGPT and Claude
Connect smarts.bio to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot over MCP. Upload files, analyze a protein sequence with BLAST, and convert BAM to SAM from a chat window — no code, no installs, and every result saved to your workspace.
Read Along
Run real bioinformatics directly inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot. In this three-minute introduction to the smarts.bio agent connector you'll upload files, open them, analyze a protein FASTA sequence with BLAST, and convert a BAM file to SAM — all from a ChatGPT conversation, with no code and no installs.
The smarts.bio connector is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives ChatGPT and Claude access to 100+ bioinformatics tools and biological databases, including BLAST, samtools, GATK and protein databases. You ask in plain language, the smarts.bio agent runs the right tools in the cloud, and the results come back to your chat. Every file and result is also saved to your smarts.bio workspace, so you can continue in smarts.bio Studio anytime.
