Ask Helena is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Official answers about Helena Bioinformatics and its products, with citations to public sources. In practice that means any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Ask Helena's tools directly — the model decides when to use them in a conversation or agent run.
It's a hosted (remote) server — point your client at https://api.helena.bio/ask/v1/mcp and you're connected, with nothing to install locally. The current release is v1.0.5.
Ask Helena is listed under Development on mcp.site and works with any MCP client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and the rest of the ecosystem — using the install snippets below.
