cellrank-mcp 0.2.2

Natural language interface for dynamics from multi-view scRNA-Seq analysis with cellrank through MCP.

cellrank-MCP

Natural language interface for scRNA-Seq analysis with cellrank through MCP.

🪩 What can it do?

• IO module like read and write scRNA-Seq data
• Preprocessing module,like filtering, quality control, normalization, scaling, highly-variable genes, PCA, Neighbors,...
• Tool module, like clustering, differential expression etc.
• Plotting module, like violin, heatmap, dotplot

❓ Who is this for?

• Anyone who wants to do scRNA-Seq analysis natural language!
• Agent developers who want to call cellrank's functions for their applications

🌐 Where to use it?

You can use cellrank-mcp in most AI clients, plugins, or agent frameworks that support the MCP:

• AI clients, like Cherry Studio
• Plugins, like Cline
• Agent frameworks, like Agno

🏎️ Quickstart

Install

Install from PyPI

pip install cellrank-mcp

you can test it by running

cellrank-mcp run

run scnapy-server locally

Refer to the following configuration in your MCP client:

"mcpServers": {
  "cellrank-mcp": {
    "command": "cellrank-mcp",
    "args": [
      "run"
    ]
  }
}

run scnapy-server remotely

Refer to the following configuration in your MCP client:

run it in your server

cellrank-mcp run --transport shttp --port 8000

Then configure your MCP client, like this:

http://localhost:8000/mcp
