Bioregistry — meta-registry of biomedical identifier prefixes

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 250+ live data sources.

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | prefix | Prefix metadata. | | search | Substring search over prefixes. | | resolve | Resolve a CURIE (prefix:id) to a provider URL. | | prefixes | Paginate over all prefixes. |

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bioregistry": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/bioregistry/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 250+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Bioregistry data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
