# smarts.bio — AI Connector smarts.bio publishes 11 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/healthcare/smarts-bio/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Healthcare & Life Sciences](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/healthcare/) # smarts.bio Run bioinformatics tools and pipelines described in plain language Listed in Claude · 11 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://www.smarts.bio/docs/mcp) [smarts.bio](https://smarts.bio/) Overview ## What smarts.bio does smarts.bio puts an actual bioinformatics environment behind a conversation, so an analysis described in ordinary language runs real tools rather than being explained in prose. Coverage includes sequence work such as BLAST, GC content, open reading frame and domain analysis across DNA, RNA and protein; variant calling and annotation; read alignment for exome and RNA sequencing; and quality control and other multi-step pipelines. Workspace files can be uploaded and managed, with FASTA, BAM, VCF, PDB and CSV results opening in interactive viewers. Long running jobs continue in the background and files stay in the account's own workspace. Eleven tools are declared and an account is required. ### Who it is for Biologists and computational biologists who would rather describe an analysis than build it. ### Tool surface Eleven tools are claimed across analysis, file management and search, and because jobs run against a private workspace the endpoint requires credentials before naming any of them. Availability ## Where smarts.bio is listed smarts.bio is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. smarts.bio has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory smarts.bio publishes 11 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 48% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Healthcare & Life Sciences publishes 6, so this one runs 5 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 8th of 51 by tool count. It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory. smarts.bio publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher smarts.bio Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Health & Life Sciences Endpoint `https://mcp.smarts.bio/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://www.smarts.bio/docs/mcp) Published tools 11 · 11-20 tools band Depth rank in Healthcare & Life Sciences 8 of 51 Snapshot August 2026 smarts.bio is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How smarts.bio describes it > smarts.bio brings a real bioinformatics platform into Claude. Describe your analysis in plain English and run actual tools and pipelines on your own data — no scripting or setup required. What you can do: \* Run sequence searches and analyses — BLAST, GC content, ORFs, domains, and more across DNA, RNA, and protein \* Call and annotate variants, align reads (WES, RNA-seq), and run quality-control and other multi-step pipelines \* Upload and manage workspace files, then open results - FASTA, BAM, VCF, PDB, CSV - in interactive viewers Search genes, literature, and patents alongside your analysis Who it's for: biologists, bioinformaticians, computational biologists, and researchers who'd rather describe an analysis than wire up the tooling. Connect your smarts.bio account to get started. Long-running jobs keep working in the background, and your files stay in your own workspace.
