Best for
  • Users who need to validate Power BI report-server credentials and access
  • Metadata workflows that need a list of available dashboards
  • Biomedical researchers
  • Clinicians
  • AI agents that need efficient access to biomedical literature and data analysis
Not for
  • Users seeking a complete data catalog, lineage, or data-quality management interface
  • Users needing dashboard editing, data querying, or other operations not declared in the manifest
  • Users needing to write to upstream databases (read-only)
  • Users requiring direct access to closed datasets (e.g., COSMIC is not directly integrated)
  • Users expecting all advanced features without API keys
Required permissions
  • Valid credentials are required to access the server
  • The user must have permission to fetch dashboards
  • Requires internet access to query public biomedical APIs
  • Optional API keys (NCBI, Semantic Scholar, OpenFDA, etc.) to improve rate limits or unlock features
  • Local read/write access for skills, cache, and local study data (e.g., `~/.local/share/biomcp`)
Risks and side effects
  • The connection test fails when credentials are invalid or the user lacks permission to fetch dashboards
  • The manifest declares basic metadata extraction only; modification or write operations should not be assumed
  • Upstream API rate limits may affect performance
  • Some data sources (e.g., KEGG) have licensing terms that restrict non-academic use
  • Features requiring API keys (e.g., OncoKB) may be incomplete without them
  • Local binary installations need regular updates for compatibility
