mcp-bioregistry

Bioregistry — meta-registry of biomedical identifier prefixes

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool	Description
`prefix`	Prefix metadata.
`search`	Substring search over prefixes.
`resolve`	Resolve a CURIE (prefix:id) to a provider URL.
`prefixes`	Paginate over all prefixes.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bioregistry": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bioregistry/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Bioregistry data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
