[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/@xraywu/mcp-wegene-assistant)](https://smithery.ai/server/@xraywu/mcp-wegene-assistant)

MCP server for WeGene Assistant, using LLM to analyze a user's WeGene genetic testing report.

## Components

### Resources

Once a user is authorized, all the reports under his/her account will be exposed as a resource:
- Custom wegene:// URI scheme for accessing each individual report
- A report resource has a name, description and application/json mimetype


### Tools

The server implements one tool:
- **wegene-oauth:** Start a WeGene Open API oAuth process in the browser
  - The user should complete the authorization in 120 seconds so LLM will be able to further access the reports.
- **wegene-get-profiles:** Read the profile list under a user's WeGene account
  - Profiles' name and id will be returned for LLM to use.
- **wegene-get-report-info:** Return the report meta info so LLM will know what reports are available.
  - A list of report names, descriptions, endpoints, etc. will be returned
- **wegene-get-report:** Read the results of a single report under a profile
  - Returns the result JSON specified in [WeGene's Open API platform](https://api.wegene.com)
  - Arguements 
    - report_endpoint: The report's endpoint to be retrieved from
    - report_id: The report's id to be retrieved
    - profile_id: The profile id to retrieve report from

## Configuration

- You will need WeGene Open API key/secret to use this project.
