@cyanheads/brapi-mcp-server
A collaborative BrAPI v2.1 workspace for multi-agent research via MCP. Search studies, germplasm, genotypes, & more - across Breedbase, T3, Sweetpotatobase, & any BrAPI v2-compliant server.
25 Tools • 6 Resources • 2 Prompts • Multi-agent collaboration
Tools
25 tools grouped by shape — connection tools bootstrap a session, find_* tools return a summarized page plus distributions and spill overflow rows into a canvas dataframe that agents on the same session can query or hand off by ID, get_* tools fetch a single record with companion counts, plus pedigree walking, an embedded SQL workspace over spilled rows (DuckDB-backed), file export for human handoff, an additive write surface for observations, and raw passthrough escape hatches.
Orient
| Tool | Description |
|---|
brapi_connect | Authenticate, register the connection under an alias, cache the capability profile, and return the orientation envelope inline. One call fully orients the agent. |
brapi_server_info | Re-fetch the orientation envelope for a registered alias — identity, auth, capabilities, content counts, attribution, notes. |
brapi_describe_filters | Static BrAPI v2.1 filter catalog for any endpoint — powers extraFilters discovery on every find_* tool. |
Retrieve
| Tool | Description |
|---|
brapi_find_studies | Find studies by crop / trial type / season / location / program. Distributions + dataframe spillover. |
brapi_get_study | Fetch a study with program / trial / location FKs resolved and companion counts (observations, units, variables). |
brapi_find_germplasm | Find germplasm by name, synonym, accession, PUI, crop, or free-text. Distributions + dataframe spillover. |
brapi_get_germplasm | Fetch a germplasm with attributes, direct parents, and companion counts (studies, parents, descendants). |
brapi_walk_pedigree | BFS-walk ancestry / descendancy as a deduplicated DAG with cycle detection, depth limits, and traversal stats. |
brapi_find_variables | Find observation variables by name / class / ontology / free-text; ranked client-side via OntologyResolver when text is supplied. |
brapi_find_observations | Pull observation records by study / germplasm / variable / season / unit / timestamp. Dataframe spillover. |
brapi_find_images | Filter image metadata by unit / study / ontology / MIME type. Bytes via brapi_get_image. |
brapi_get_image | Fetch image bytes for up to 5 imageDbIds inline as type: image blocks. Prefers /imagecontent, falls back to imageURL. |
brapi_find_locations | Find research stations by country / type / abbreviation, with optional client-side bbox filter. |
brapi_find_variants | Find variant records by variant set, reference, or genomic region (1-based inclusive / exclusive). |
brapi_find_genotype_calls | Pull genotype calls via async-search polling. Upstream pull bounded by BRAPI_GENOTYPE_CALLS_MAX_PULL (default 100k, max 500k). |
