    How to connect

    How to connect DeepDNA to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://deepdna.ai/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect DeepDNA to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://deepdna.ai/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    How to connect DeepDNA to Cursor

    The server address to paste into Cursor settings:

    https://deepdna.ai/mcp

    Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.

    Manually:

    1. In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
    2. Paste the JSON copied below into ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per project: .cursor/mcp.json in the repo root).
    3. Save the file. The server appears in the MCP list; authorize it there if asked.

    Authorization

    If the service needs sign-in, an authorize button appears next to the server in the MCP list.

    Server tool list (6)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    list_genesList the genes in the DeepDNA knowledge base, with a one-line summary and category for each.
    lookup_geneEverything curated about one gene: function, key variants with rsIDs, metabolizer or function phenotypes, drug interactions, what a consumer genotyping array can and cannot tell you, and sources.
    lookup_variantOne variant by dbSNP rsID: gene, star-allele or common name, alleles, functional effect, population frequency and sources. Optionally pass the genotype read at that position (e.g. from a raw DNA file) to get how many copies of the variant allele it holds. That count is not a phenotype, metabolizer or risk call.
    lookup_drug_genePharmacogenomic guidance for a gene, optionally for one drug: guideline (CPIC or DPWG, "drug label", or null when the record rests on the primary literature), summary of the recommendation, phenotypes and sources. Omit drug to list every drug curated for that gene.
    check_medicationsGiven a list of generic drug names, say which ones have a curated drug–gene record, with which genes and what each record rests on (a CPIC or DPWG guideline, a drug label, or the primary literature), and which are not covered. Needs no genotype. Use it before discussing whether genetics could matter for someone's medicines.
    request_beta_accessRegister the user's interest in DeepDNA's private beta (DNA file parsing, annotation, bloodwork; not deployed yet). Only call this after the user has explicitly agreed to share their email with DeepDNA for this purpose, and set user_consent to true. Stores the email and the optional use case; see https://deepdna.ai/privacy/.
